Sierra Hull and her mandolin.
Mandolin in hand, Sierra Hull returns
to play OK Theatre a second time
By Steve Tool
Wallowa County Chieftain
The OK Theatre is
doing its share of provid-
ing quality entertainment,
this time, presenting man-
dolin wunderkind, Sierra
Hull for the second time.
The 28-year-old is already
a master on her instrument
while also playing gui-
tar. Hull plays the OK on
March 21.
A virtual prodigy at
eight, Hull a native Ten-
nesseean, recorded her fi rst
album at the age of 10 and
was befriended and men-
tored by Alison Krauss at
the age of 11.
Hull had played the
White House by the age of
20 and had also attended
the esteemed Berklee
School of Music in its
fl edgling folk/Americana
program.
OK Theatre owner Dar-
rell Brann said he fi rst
heard of Hull about fi ve
years ago as her name kept
popping up in discussions
of bluegrass performers
and on the Nashville scene.
“Though she’s a won-
derful bluegrass picker, her
skills are far beyond that
in what you’re going to
hear in her playing,” Brann
said. “She can play well in
any genre.”
For example, Hull is
coming to the valley with a
guitar, sax and bass player
accompanying.
“I watched the little
video clip they sent me,
and that band is just smok-
ing,” Brann said.
Hull is also bringing
along opening act, Sam
Reider, a wonderful musi-
cian from New York,
according to Brann.
“It’s fun to see these
young kids killing it with
their musicianship,” Brann
said.
The theatre owner also
said that he’s looking for-
ward to showing the pub-
lic the progress that’s
been made on the OK’s
renovation.
“We’ve got some things
to show people,” Brann
said. “But we’ve come a
long way.”
Tickets are $25 and are
available at eventbrite.com
as well as the Bookloft,
Joseph Hardware and the
Dollar Stretcher. The doors
open at 6 p.m. and the
show runs from 7-10 p.m.
Lawmakers come and go, but the lobby remains
a powerful constant in Oregon
By Claire Withycombe,

SALEM — As the 2019
Legislature steams ahead,
an army of 1,000 lobbyists
is at work to gain political
favors from the state’s 90
legislators.
Two years ago, special
interests reported to the
state that they spent $39
million on that effort.
The most expensive lob-
bying effort in 2017 was
staged by the Oregon Asso-
ciation of Realtors, fol-
lowed by Western States
Petroleum Association and
the Oregon Nurses Associ-
ation, according to spend-
ing reports required by the
state.
Oregon law requires
anyone who hires a lob-
byist to report what they
spend to try to bend the
Legislature to their will.
That transparency is
intended to hold legisla-
tors and lobbyists account-
able, providing the public a
way to judge who’s serving
whom.
Housing advocates and
hospitals have already
secured big wins with a
fi rst-of-its-kind rent control
bill signed into law Thurs-
day and a Medicaid bill
awaiting signature by Gov.
Kate Brown.
Still to come are sig-

tion spending, as well as a

“Everyone has a lob-
byist, whether or not they
are some high-paid, pow-
er-wielding person who
has notable wins or losses,”
Wittenberg said. “Basic
associations have lobbyists,
like AARP, the Humane
Society. The food bank
has a lobbyist because they
want to feed more people.”
