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. Doors open at 6
p.m. No food or beverage ser-
vice provided –– BYO.
we wish you all
the best in 2018

Fishtrap Fireside
opens new year Jan. 5
Fishtrap Fireside starts off
the new year with Benjamin
Curry, Jim Dameron and Eric
Greenwell on tap to read. 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.

sored by Ruby Peak Naturals,

Wallowa Valley Music
Alliance will host its January
Tunesmith Night, a monthly
showcase of original music,
Jan. 13 Gold Room at the Jen-
nings Hotel, 100 North Main,
Joseph.
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.
