returns to Seaside
as one-man band
SEASIDE — Everett Bone
returns to Seaside Brewing
Co. (851 Broadway St.) for
a couple of sets of live mu-
sic as a one-man band 7:30
p.m. Sunday, Feb. 11.
Bone juggles a few
music projects ranging
from rock to something he
has a hard time describing
but likes to call “steamgyp-
sypunkjazzrocksurfgrass.”
The last time he played in
Seaside, it was with this
eclectic mix of music in his
band Cascadian Airship.
An accomplished musi-
cian and songwriter, Bone
is well-versed in many
instruments. He’s been
singing and playing guitar
in solo shows off and on
for more than 15 years. He
recently added drums his
repertoire.
“I noticed that people
would dance more if there
was a band with a beat, yet
a lot of venues don’t make
it profitable for bands
anymore. So I put pedals
on a snare and kick drum,
and shazam! I’m a band
with only one person to
pay,” Bone said. “I miss
the layered instrumenta-
tion of a full band when I
play like this, but it’s fun
in a different way, and a
challenge to try and play
with all appendages while
singing.”
Everett Bone has
opened for many well-
known acts, including
Eddie Money, Blue Oyster
Cult, Kansas and Lynyrd
Skynyrd, and has been
recording music of various
styles and genres for more
than 20 years.
Expect to hear songs
you know and some origi-
nal music as well.
ASTORIA — KALA
welcomes lauded old-time
music duo Spencer & Rains
in concert 7:30 p.m. Mon-
day, Feb. 12. Doors open at

the door.
The duo from Kansas,
currently on tour, has been
featured in Mother Jones,
the New York Times, No
Depression, Fretboard Jour-
nal and other publications.
Tricia Spencer is a
Kansas fiddler who grew
up learning the tradition
of old-time music from
her grandparents. She is a
multi-instrumentalist who
studied with some of the
great masters and is a highly
sought-after performer,
dance fiddler and instructor.
Howard Rains is a
native Texas artist and a
fourth-generation fiddler (or
“vy-lin,” as his grandfather
would say) from a musical
and artistic family whose
two obsessions are painting
and playing his home state’s
archaic style of fiddling.
Together, Spencer &
Rains, a husband-and-wife
duo, have performed and
taught nationally and inter-
nationally, preserving and
