13 SOUND CHECK WHAT’S PLAYING AROUND THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST FEBRUARY 9�16, 2022 Fox and Bones begins tour in Baker City By Lisa Britton Go! Magazine B AKER CITY — Sarah Vitort and Scott Gilmore can’t wait to hit the road to tour as the duo Fox and Bones. And they’re starting in Baker City. “We’ll be on the road until the end of March,” Vitort said. “It’s exciting — this is our longest tour since before the pandemic.” Their live concert is Friday, Feb. 18, at Churchill School, 3451 Broadway St. (enter through the parking lot on 16th Street). Doors open at 6 p.m. Tick- ets are $10 in advance at www. churchillbaker.com, or $12 at the door. Admission is free for fully vaccinated youth age 15 and younger who attend with an adult. For more details, visit the website. Vitort and Gilmore live in Port- land. Pre-pandemic they toured up to 10 months a year, includ- ing an annual trip to Europe. “We were quite busy,” Vitort said. It all stopped in March 2020. “There was nothing. And that was our living,” she said. But they adjusted by perform- ing on livestream, and off ering driveway concerts. “We’ve made it work,” she said. “We got very creative. When everyone was stuck at home, livestream was really fun.” Vitort grew up in a musical family and started playing guitar at age 7. She began writing songs in her mid-20s. Gilmore’s background is piano and guitar, and he started writing and recording while in high school.
