SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 2016 CROW fundraiser to offer musical retrospective Billed as a “classic coun- try music retrospective with over 45 show-stopping hits,” the creative team of Mike Jacobson and Marty Adams will return to the Florence Elks Lodge for an encore performance of “Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes: A Classic Country Music Retrospective.” The performance, slated for Saturday, April 30, at 5 p.m., will include a com- plete dinner, and all funds raised will be donated to the Children’s Repertory of Oregon Workshops (CROW). This toe-tapping produc- tion features the music of such country music icons as Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Marty Robbins, Kitty Wells, Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, Roy Orbison, Dottie West, George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Ernest Tubb, Conway Twitty and several others. COURTESY PHOTO Adams will once again tickle the ivories as both the musical director and arranger, and Jacobson will once again direct the show. “Shoes” features the vocal talents of Nancy Pearson, who many will remember from her portrayal of Patsy Cline in “Always, Patsy,” from a few summers ago, and Denise Dee, who will again perform her show- stopping rendition of Tammy Wynette’s “Stand By Your Man.” Jacobson and Adams will also both sing in the show. Audiences should note that Jacobson wrote and directed “If I Didn’t Care: A Tribute to the Ink Spots,” as well as this exciting offer- ing. For tickets, call the Elks at 541-997-2610. Tickets are $25 per person and include dinner, dancing and the show.

Andy Baber, AAMS® Financial Advisor . 1010 Highway 101 Florence, OR 97439 541-997-8755 www.edwardjones.com Member SIPC Backstreet Gallery recently announced a new member, Sher Rosenberg. Her work has appeared in Celebrate Arts, where she won several awards and honorable mentions. Like many artists, the affec- tion for art began in Rosenburg’s childhood. In her case, it was while being raised on a cattle ranch in central California. This offered a great atmosphere of “fresh air, wide open spaces, critters and chores to spark my creativity,” said Rosenburg. “From gram- mar school through the start of my teens, I drew and painted much of what I saw.” After living in the Bay Area and Montana, she relocated to Florence in 2002, when she met renowned artist and instructor Katheryn Davis. Though Rosenburg took but a few classes, she didn’t return to painting until 2006. After a 40-year hiatus, Roseburg said of her craft, “I love every part of the process... I paint for myself, but what a rush when someone else likes it too.” The artist’s award-winning works appear in Backstreet Gallery, 1421 Bay St., along with 20 other artists’ work.
