Hey Lover
Get a jolt at Electric Fences music festival
NEHALEM — The fourth
annual Electric Fences
music festival takes place
noon to midnight Saturday,
Aug. 4, at Lunasea Gardens
in Nehalem.
Held at a 12-acre, par-
tially forested farm on the
North Fork of the Nehalem
River, the event will feature
performers from Oregon,
Washington, Tennessee and
Texas.
A dozen acts are set to take
the hillside stage. The after-
noon includes Pacific North-
west honky-tonkers Coun-
tryside Ride and the garage
punk quartet Bad Shadows,
featuring members of Fences’
alumni Roselit Bone.
A Lone Star lineup
starts off the evening with
cosmic country outfit The
Lonesome Heroes, followed
by the atmospheric folk of
Little Mazarn. This year’s
featured headliners are Cal-
vin Johnson as the pseud-
onymous Selector Dub
Narcotic, and underground
country scene cornerstone
Leo Rondeau, closing out
Electric Fences with an
intimate acoustic set.
Other acts: Thee Last Go
‘Round, Mouth Painter, Hey
Lover and Book of Colors,
all from Portland; Dowsing,
of Port Townsend, Wash.;
and Jean Wranglers, of
Austin, Texas.
Electric Fences is open
to all ages. Tickets are $20
for general admission, $30
for general admission with
overnight camping passes,
and can be purchased at the
festival or in advance on the
Electric Fences website.
The music festival was
founded in 2015 as an
autonomous DIY event,
rejecting the necessity of
sponsorships and operating
under the idea that a small-
er, less restrictive model
of the traditional music
festival would create a more
memorable and enduring
experience for audiences
and performers.
