AUGUST 30, 2018 // 7 Astoria’s finest perform in Cannon Beach JOSHUA BESSEX PHOTO Luke Ydstie and Kati Claborn perform at Pickled Fish. COURTESY SOU’WESTER LODGE Glass Heart String Choir’s Katie Mosehauer and Ian Williams. Stories and soul at Sou’wester shows SEAVIEW, WASH. — The Sou’wester Lodge presents the Glass Heart String Choir, 8 to 10 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 1. Lush and layered, playing with surging vocals over baroque musical sheets, Glass Heart String Choir weaves intricate stories that express leveling doubt. Pieced together by two classically trained com- posers, their musical offerings ground listeners in reality while flying them away with wonderment. Then, from 8 to 10 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 2, Talia Keys plays the Lodge. Keys is a genre-crossing musical pow- erhouse who brings her brand of soul- funk-rock-n’-roll with unique vocals and storytelling. Her energy has been com- pared to Janis Joplin’s bluesy rawness and Jimi Hendrix’s fire. Both concerts are free and open to the public. MELAHN ATKINSON PHOTO Musician Talia Keys. COURTESY TOLOVANA ARTS COLONY Brian Bovenizer (center) and the New Old Stock. CANNON BEACH — Astoria’s finest folk rockers invade Can- non Beach for a free concert in the park Sunday, Sept. 2. The show features the roots rock of Brian Bovenizer and the New Old Stock, and the sweet acoustic folk of The Hackles. The Hackles are Kati Claborn and Luke Ydstie, renown for their work with Blind Pilot. As The Hackles, the duo delight in lush, inti- mate vocal harmony. This summer has been busy for The Hackles. In July they released a new record, “The Twilight’s Calling it Quits,” performed a run of shows with Blind Pilot as the band cele- brates the 10th anniversary of their renown record “3 Rounds and a Sound,” and toured the Northwest as a duo in August. While equally reverent toward American folk tradi- tions, Bovenizer and the New Old Stock are, by comparison, more scruffy, thumping and electric. Over classic country twang and burning barroom rock, Bovenizer delivers earnest odes to the North Coast. It’s something like a feel-good, life-affirming, boot-scootin’ barn dance. The New Old Stock in- cludes Luke Ydstie on bass and backup vocals (really, the guy can harmonize!), Olaf Yd- stie on drums, Jamie Greenan on pedal steel and Jeff Munger on electric guitar. The free, family-friendly concert begins with The Hack- les at 5:30 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets, low-backed chairs and fully stocked picnic baskets. Dogs, frisbees, soccer balls and the like are wel- come, too. The park is located in downtown Cannon Beach, northeast of the Chamber of Commerce at Second and Spruce streets. The concert is produced by the Tolovana Arts Colony and made possible by a Commu- nity Grant from the City of Cannon Beach.
