Comedy
nights
return to
Wildhorse
MISSION — Get ready
for some laughs — LOL
Comedy is returning to
Wildhorse Resort & Casino.
Adults 21 and older are
invited to grab a seat in the
Wildhorse Sports Bar each
Thursday night as a hilarious
line-up is planned in the new
year. The shows begin at
8 p.m. and there’s no cover
charge.

Pacific Northwest comedy
scene to make a name for
himself in clubs across the
United States and Canada)

Tyler Boeh (who cut his
teeth in the Portland com-
edy scene before heading
to the East Coast for four
years) and Jeremiah Cough-
lan; Jan. 24 brings Andrew
Rivers (a storytelling comic
who earns high praise from
fellow comedians) and
Michael Glatzmair to the

edy Competition champion)

Kindle embraces the “coun-
try & western” label in his
songs about love and despair
while also seeking to expand
the notion of what constitutes
rural music. With his backing
country-rock band, The East-
ern Oregon Playboys, he has
released several albums. In
2017, Kindle released a tape of
minimalist piano recordings on
the Brooklyn, New York-based
Cimiotti Recordings. He is cur-
rently working on a collection
of songs tentatively titled “Trail
Songs” that pervert the singing
cowboy (Slim Whitman, Marty
Robbins, etc) trope of using the
western landscape and cow-
boy imagery as metaphors for
romance.
Mise has brought an eclectic
pop style to the Pacific North-
west since 2012. Originally
the solo project of North Ida-
ho’s Cooper L. Trail, Mise’s
folk sound is brimming with
wise and soft-spoken lyrics and
has since broadened to include
heavier and more experimen-
tal elements of a live band,
while remaining lyrical at the
core. Mise provides an impres-
sive example of differentiation
within a community while stay-
ing ground to his roots.
Also hailing from northern
Idaho, Sowle constantly seeks
to find new tones both acoustic
and electronic, unique yet famil-
iar. While Sowle’s sound fits
most snugly into the category
of pop, audiences shouldn’t let
that deter them as quality lyri-
cal content and well-thought-
out composition is there for the
listening.
Tunesmith Night is pre-
sented monthly by the Wal-
lowa Valley Music Alliance,.

Florida couple forms gallery show at EOU
The Nightingale Gallery
ushers in 2019 with “Form
and Figure,” featuring the
work of husband and wife
duo Michael and Aneka
Ingold of Tampa, Florida.
The exhibition opens
with an artists’ recep-
tion Friday, Jan. 11 from
6-8 p.m. in the gallery,
which is located in Eastern
Oregon University’s Loso
Hall. In addition, the artists
will present a public talk
about their work Thursday,
Jan. 10 at 6 p.m. in Badg-
ley Hall’s Huber Audito-
rium. Both events are free
and open to the public.
Although somewhat dis-
parate in their approaches,
the couple shares a com-
mon vision in pursuing
the perception and illu-
sion of space and linear
perspective.
Aneka’s artwork con-
sists of ambiguous narra-
tives combining flat color
and pattern with realism.
She specializes in mixed
media techniques, com-
bining drawing and paint-
ing processes. Her com-
plex environments invites
viewers to explore both the
artifice of her constructed
settings and the authentic-
ity of the emotive quality
of the figures in her alle-
gorical worlds. Aneka aims
to create both synchro-
nizations as well as con-
tradictions between real-
istic figures and planer
environments.
Michael’s
work
is
focused on the intersection
of two-dimensional and
three-dimensional media
utilizing both traditional
forms of woodworking and
painting as well as contem-
porary digital fabrication
and design methods. His
pieces implore the viewer
to allow the minimalist
forms in his work to speak
for themselves. The simple
structures have a reality of
their own and do not need
to directly imitate the real
world. The medium and
the form of the work is the
authenticity, exuding order,
geometry and harmony.
“Both our methodolo-
gies challenge the viewer’s
awareness of two-dimen-
sional and three-dimen-
sional perception,” said
Aneka. “And we hope to
transform the audience’s
experience and understand-
ing of their surroundings.”
Gallery hours are Mon-
day through Fridays from
11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The
exhibit runs through Fri-
day, Feb. 8. For more
information, contact gal-
lery director Cory Peeke
at cpeeke@eou.edu, 541-
962-3584 or visit www.
