18 // COASTWEEKEND.COM History Center hosts Carolyn Cruso in concert CANNON BEACH — Caro- lyn Cruso, an acclaimed multi-instrumentalist and composer, returns to Can- non Beach for the Cannon Beach History Center and Museum’s annual acoustic concert series at 7 p.m. Friday, March 31. Cruso is a versatile performer who is equal- ly comfortable on the hammered dulcimer, flute or guitar. She performs a diverse array of original tunes and songs as well as traditional material. Her voice and stylings have been compared to that of Joni Mitchell and Bonnie Raitt. Her instrumental compositions are mainly for the hammered dulci- mer and are inspired by her strong connection to nature as well as her extensive travel and the cultures she’s encountered along the way. Her unusu- al and lyrical approach to the dulcimer especially delights audiences. “Boundless highlights both Carolyn’s fluid playing style and the broad knowledge of Celtic music she brings to her compositions. A gorgeous listen throughout!” said Sing Out! Magazine. Seating for the Cruso concert is limited. Tickets are $15, with the proceeds benefiting the museum’s seasonal exhibits and free lecture series. Cost of the ticket includes tasty treats and donated libations. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets can be pur- chased at the museum, by calling 503-436-9301, or through the online gift shop at www.cbhistory. org. The Cannon Beach History Center & Mu- seum is a private non- profit museum featuring seasonal historic, textile and artistic exhibits. The museum is located at 1387 S. Spruce St. Kathryn Claire performs album release concert ASTORIA — KALA will host an album release concert for musician and composer Kathryn Claire at 8 p.m. Saturday, March 25. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., and admission is $12 at the door. Claire will be joined on stage by her band and will be releasing video from the album live at the show. In addition, vinyl albums and CDs of Claire’s new album “Bones Will Last” will be available for purchase. KALA is located at 1017 Marine Drive. In “Bones Will Last,” Claire has created a unique collection of songs and instrumental compositions. With her violin and voice at the forefront, Claire is supported by Zak Borden on mandolin, Allen Hunter on upright bass and Don Henson on piano. “Bones Will Last” is a hopeful and heartbreak- ing album, exploring both personal and universal themes of loss, love and transformation. Claire skillfully weaves together stories and melodies rooted in her classical and tradi- tional musical background. Her honest and poetic writing and her voice move seamlessly across genres creating an original and diverse aesthetic. Claire has spent years cultivating her own style and approach to music as Astor Street Opry Company presents a violinist, guitar player, singer and songwriter. She has toured and performed extensively in the U.S., Japan, India, Holland, Belgium and France. The 10 tracks on “Bones Will Last” draw from her ex- tensive international travel over the past 10 years and synthesize her personal and musical history.
