He began writ- ing songs several years ago after having attended Sum- mer Fishtrap’s songwriting workshop, and often returns to their Imnaha Writers’ Re- treat for some focused writ- ing time. Tabor states that as a song writer, he tries to “… craft songs which, based on VSHFL¿F ORFDWLRQV DQG HYHQWV embody experiences and emotions that resonate with the listeners’ own…” along this “…joyful, sad, sweet, and at times, absurd, journey we call ‘life’.” In 2011, Tabor was invited to perform one of his recent songs, “Deep Creek,” based on events sur- rounding the massacre of Chi- nese miners along the Snake River in 1887, at the Chinese Remembering Conference in Lewiston. Subsequently the song was used as the sound track for a PBS special about the murders. When not writ- ing songs, or performing with one of his two bands, Gareth continues his day job as an ophthalmic surgeon in Lake Oswego, where he resides with his wife, Janet. With songwriter and lead singer Curt Krause at the helm, Edmund Wayne is mak- ing waves with their down- home, dirt-rock, pop-pow- ered, exploratory sound.
