A2 Events wallowa.com December 27, 2017 Wallowa County Chieftain Quinn, Kindle and Rockwell highlight Tunesmith Night at Jennings Hotel Performance will be Jan. 13 in Joseph venue Dameron What: Wallowa Valley Music Alliance’s January Tunesmith Night James Dean Kindle Where: The Gold Room at the Jennings Hotel, 100 North Main, Joseph When: Saturday, Jan. 13, 6 p.m. Cost: $10 at the door or by season pass Bourbon Bill Rockwell Kory Quinn the irrepressibility of human- ity in the face of widespread corruption and exploita- tion. This coincides with the greater implications of soci- ety’s current reliance on oil and fossil fuels, corrupt polit- ical leaders and fear. But even as it tackles such heavi- ness, the music is boisterous and driving, a perfect rally- ing call for humanity from the heart of a working man. James Dean Kindle is a Pendleton-based sing- er-songwriter. With his long- time backing band, The East- ern Playboys, he has recently released “Roaming Charges May Apply,” a high desert rock album recorded at the OK Theater in Enterprise. Thematically, the album touches upon finding a sense of community and belong- ing amidst the anxiety of a decaying rural West. He is currently working on a solo album tentatively titled, “Trail Songs of Love.” He also works as the executive director of the Oregon East Symphony and as a contrib- uting columnist to the East Oregonian. Bourbon Bill Rockwell has been writing songs and performing them on stage for nearly 25 years. His old-time style of song writing landed him in a trio before the turn of the century with two friends who played banjo and mandolin. They busked the Wash- ington State Ferry system for a while before crossing the pond and playing in Europe. After tens of thousands of miles, he has discovered the wonders of Northeastern Ore- gon and has been playing and performing out of La Grande. Tunesmith Night is presented in a round-robin format, with each musician playing a song, then the next taking a turn, creating an interesting and varied performance. Admis- sion is $10 at the door or by season pass.

An open “mic” follows where the audience can come up to the podium and take a turn. The event is 7 p.m. Fri- day, Jan. 5, 2018, at Fishtrap House, 400 E. Grant Street, Enterprise. Admission is free. Raised in Wallowa Coun- ty’s rugged North End, Cur- ry’s claim to fame is he closed the Flora School all by himself. A fan of bird- song, huckleberries and free- heel skiing, Curry tunes his senses for all three from his home in Joseph. In his spare time he writes poetry, mem- oir and data center strategy documents. Dameron is an essayist and a poet. His work has been published in Agni, The Mis- souri Review, Mid-American Review, Northwest Review and other literary journals. Three of his essays have been honored by the editors of Best American Essays as “Notable Selections.” At 26, Eric Greenwell was walking down a street in Idaho when he realized he had lost what he was trying to say. He retraced steps and checked his dirty pants pockets. His mother called to say she lost it at, oh, age 30. In retrospect, she said, it was the best thing that ever happened to her. He disagreed. He disagrees a lot these days, which, now that he considers it, might have something to do with losing it, what it is he was trying to say and why he has left the house late every morning since 2012 or was it 2013? The community is encour- aged to attend, enjoy light refreshments and hear new work by their friends and neighbors.

Library PAC part of tax credit plan for donations Oregon Tax Credit has issued a reminder that Oregon residents pay $50 in taxes to Oregon each year that could be designated to a specific politi- cal contribution. Wallowa County Library District PAC group is eligible to receive that contribution. Each taxpayer in Oregon gets a $50 gift but must either pay it back in state taxes or donate it to a qualified politi- cal campaign or cause as part of the program. If you don’t make a con- tribution of $50, you actually pay the amount anyway in state taxes. This deduction is for sin- gle filers making less than $100,000 a year and joint fil- ers making less than $200,000. People who donate before year-end can again make a $50 tax deductible donation after the first of the year.

The show features song- writers Kory Quinn, James Dean Kindle and Bourbon Bill Rockwell. The cozy atmosphere and warm sound in the venue provides the per- fect atmosphere for music lovers. Like the steady pendu- lum of a land oil rig, Amer- icana songwriter Kory Quinn is tapped inspiration. His new EP, “Black Gold Blues,” is sharp and critical. It swings between the misery and pride of the working class. He explores the complex relationships inherent in the immorality of modern cap- italism and the individual purpose found in their work. With uncanny awareness, he understands the exact point where two disparate para- digms collide.
