The 24-year-old says he has “an unhealthy obsession with music.” However, those who have heard him are far kinder, saying “music is spilling out of” him. As an 11-year-old, Walden wowed audiences with his harmonica playing at Idaho’s Yellow Pine Harmonica Contest — placing second in his age division. In addition, he won the “Crowd Pleaser” award. In 2016, he released three albums. And, earlier this year he recorded “Spiral Highway,” playing guitar, mandolin, fiddle, piano and vocals. •Friday, Nov. 9 — Pete Krebs, whose musical exploration includes everything from punk rock and gypsy jazz to traditional country and western swing, is returning to Pendleton. Originally from southern California, Krebs has been a fixture on the Portland music scene since 1987. He has been inducted into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame twice, most recently as a solo act in 2016 and three years earlier with the band Hazel. Krebs has shared the stage with a broad range of top musical acts, including Nirvana, Elliott Smith, Peter Rowan and The Hot Club of Cowtown. In addition, he has received positive ink from such publications as Rolling Stone, Spin, Magnet and No Depression. His commercial work has been featured nationally for NASCAR and the National Football League, as well as the Oregon Lottery. •Saturday, Nov. 10 — Blue Plate Special, a five-member bluegrass band, will round out the weekend of shows.
