Electric Sundown announces upcoming shows
By TAMMY
MALGESINI
East Oregonian
PENDLETON — Musi-
cal entertainment is planned
at Electric Sundown this
month — including a tour
stop featuring Afroman. All
of the events are for those 21
and older.
As part of his Northwest
Invasion Tour, the pro-mar-
ijuana rapper will perform
Saturday, Aug. 13, 8 p.m.
The doors open at 7 p.m. at
14 S.E. Third St. Pendleton.
Tickets are $30. Those plan-
ning to attend are encouraged
to buy tickets in advance at
www.eventbrite.com.
Afroman’s “Because I
Got High” was nominated
for the Grammy Award for
best rap solo performance
in 2002. In October 2014, he
released a remix of the song
to highlight the usefulness of
marijuana as part of legaliza-
tion efforts across the United
States.
The other upcoming
events are free with no cover
charge:
On Wednesday, Aug. 10,
Ezza Rose and James Dean
Kindle take the stage. The
doors open at 6 p.m. with
music and drinks available
throughout the night.
Rose, who hails from
Portland via Julian, Califor-
nia, didn’t initially plan to
be a singer. According to an
artist biography on www.npr.
org, she primarily focused
on dance and theater while
attending an arts school.
However, she found her voice
after performing at an open
mic night. While she leans
toward acoustic folk and a
bluegrass sound, electric
guitar is, at times, thrown
into the mix.
Kindle hardly needs an
introduction in his home-
town. Frontman for James
Dean Kindle & the East-
ern Oregon Playboys, the
versatile musician has
performed in music festi-
vals, rodeo arenas, prisons
and symphony concert halls
with a variety of ensem-
bles as well as solo. One of
his more recent projects is a
western swing/country jazz
band, the Hyper Modern
Country Quartet.
And finally, Tanner Carey
will host an open stage and
mic night Friday, Aug. 19,
with the doors opening at
7 p.m. Local talent is invited
to tell a story, make people
laugh, sing a song, read
cowboy poetry and more.
Solo artists or duets only —
no large bands.
Acts are asked to keep
their entertainment to under
10 minutes. People can regis-
ter at the door.
