BAKER CITY — The Powder

round up a variety of entertainers
on Sunday afternoons in Baker
City.
The performances are held
from 4-5:30 p.m. in the Powder
River Pavilion at Geiser-Pollman

set admission fee but to help sup-
port the summer series, people are

Those who give $5 receive a raffle
ticket for a door prize.
The July 28 concert features the
Seymour Baker Band. On the last
leg of an Oregon Summer Tour,
the Portland-based group plays
acoustic Americana, blues, rock
and folk. Their energetic perfor-
mances are said to feature a com-
bination of intricate guitar inter-
play, infectious rhythms and “silky
smooth vocal harmonies.”
Also, during the July 28 event,
those in attendance can enter a raf-
fle drawing for a Christmas in July
package. In addition, there will be
a drawing for wine basket, which
includes two wine tastings at Cop-
per Belt Wines, two engraved
wine glasses by Able Engraving
and a bottle of wine.
During the Aug. 4 show,
Cadence Beyond will play. The
trio juggles a variety of instru-
ments and styles. Calling them-
selves a “musical mutt,” the group

torian Kent Richards said Stevens
was most often the center of con-
troversy and that people either
loved or hated him. During his
tenure as territorial governor, he
believed he could address prob-

the Indian people by negotiating
treaties.

albums. BJ the DJ will play many
of their hit songs from the 1960s,
1970s and 1980s Saturday, Aug. 3
from 7-10 p.m. The free event will

The Stones’ first number one hit
in America — their fourth in Great
Britain — was “(I Can’t Get No)
Satisfaction.” It topped the Bill-
board chart for four weeks in July
1965 and was the biggest hit single
in the U.S. that year. While they’ve
experienced some controversy
over the years, including censor-
ship of their 1967 hit “Let’s Spend
the Night Together” on “The Ed
Sullivan Show,” they have endured
for nearly 60 years. The Rolling
Stones are currently on the road in
the U.S. with their No Filter Tour.
