Quartlash tickets on sale for Liberty heater concert ASTORIA — The Liberty Theater will presents the second concert of its 2016- 17 Liberty Presents Series at 7:30 p.m. Saturday Nov. 5 with Quarterlash, led by Marv and Rindy Ross. The Rosses irst per- formed together in the ’70s at Western Oregon Univer- sity where they fell in love and got married. While completing their teaching degrees, they began gigging in bands with Rindy playing sax and singing Marv’s guitar-driven compositions. After teaching three years in Central Oregon, they took very early retirements and formed Seafood Mama — a popular dance band that played every smoky hippie bar between Seattle and Portland in the late ’70s. In 1980 they recorded Marv’s song “Harden My Heart,” which became their irst hit and led to Geffen Records signing them. Over the next decade they released four albums under a new name, Quarterlash, garnering gold and platinum records and tours with Elton John, Linda Ronstadt and assorted big-haired ’80s acts better left unmentioned. It was an exciting, tumultuous, insane era, and the Rosses lived out many a fantasy including Marv writing a song with Burt Bacharach and Rindy appearing on Merv Grifin with Richard Simmons. In 1991 they formed Ross Productions to create music for NW audiences. Their irst project was a com- mission from the state of Oregon to produce a musical based on diaries of immi- grants on the Oregon Trail. From that project came The Trail Band and nine CDs of traditional Americana music. Also, the Rosses gained a deep interest in Native American music, and Marv began to write his second play, “The Ghosts of Celilo,” a Broadway-styled musical featuring Native American music and culture. “Ghosts” was presented in October 2007 by Artists Repertory Theatre at The Portland Center for the Performing Arts to rave reviews and 13 sold-out performances. Recently, the Rosses were awarded Western Oregon University’s Alumni Award of Excellence, and they released their new Quarter- lash CD, “Goodbye Uncle Buzz.” Tickets cost $15, $25 or $35 and are available at the Liberty Theater’s box ofice, by calling 503-325-5922 ext. 55, and online at Tickets- West.com
