ENTERTAINMENT Saturday, August 5, 2017 BRIEFLY Ian Moore & The Lossy Coils sparks park series PENDLETON — Hot August nights will be even hotter as Ian Moore & The Lossy Coils perform during the upcoming Wednesdays in the Park. The free event is Wednesday, Aug. 9 from 6-8 p.m. at Roy Raley Park, 1205 S.W. Court Ave., Pendleton. Food, beer and wine will be available for purchase. Moore entered the Austin music scene in the early ’90s and later plummeted into depression. He surfaced every few years and delivered musical explorations before disappearing into obscurity again. And then he met Matt Harris at a crimping seminar in 2002. Harris, too, had experienced some of life’s woes after developing a love for fast music and fast living. After placing second in the dual crimp-off category, the pair bonded and ended up playing and performing together. They formed The Lossy Coils in 2005. Straddling genres, the band provides a soulful, bluesy rock sound, mixed with psychedelic power pop. Presented by Pendleton Parks & Recreation and Sounds Like Entertainment, the all-ages concert series runs each Wednesday through Aug. 16. For more information, call 541-276-8100 or search Facebook for “Wednesdays in the Park.” Contributed photo Park offers perfect venue for outdoor enthusiast HEPPNER — The power of Mother Nature provides inspiration for Cole “Elwood” Haney. Fans of Elwood say they can feel that power and serenity in the La Grande man’s music. To fi nd out for yourself, head to Heppner’s Music in the Park. The outdoor venue should provide a perfect backdrop for the free performance. People are encouraged to bring a blanket or lawn chair Sunday, Aug. 13 from 5-7 p.m. at Heppner City Park, 444 N. Main St. There is no admission charge. Food will be available by donation to the Shared Ministry of Hope Lutheran Church and All Saints Episcopal Church.
