AKER CITY — Larry and
Peggy Haney — who tour
together as the duo Ghost Wind
— are set to play Sunday, Aug.
15, for the Powder River Music
Review.
The music begins at 4 p.m.
at the Powder River Pavilion in
Baker City’s Geiser-Pollman Park.
Admission is free, although dona-
tions are welcome to support
the music series, which relies on
grants, sponsorships and com-
munity donations.
Raffl e tickets, also supporting
the music series, are sold at each
concert — $5 each or 15 for $20
— for a chance to win the week’s
gift basket.
Ghost Wind is based in Wal-
lowa County.
“We’re busy making records
and writing songs,” Larry Haney
said.
And busy playing concerts.
This week alone sees Ghost Wind
taking the stage in four diff erent
places: the Courthouse Concert
Series in Enterprise on Thursday,
Aug. 12, at 5:30 p.m.; Wallowa
Lake Lodge on Friday, Aug. 13, at
5 p.m.; a vineyard in Walla Walla
on Saturday, Aug. 14; then Baker
City for the Aug. 15 concert.
Haney describes the musical
style of Ghost Wind as “folk with
a native fl air, country, and (the)
country side of rock.”
“We’ll do some original tunes,
and good old country swing,” he
said. “Maybe even a jazz tune or
two. It’s kind of a conglomera-
tion.”
