NTERPRISE, JOSEPH — Musi-
cians are still playing several
venues around Wallowa County,
including a full lineup this week-
end at Terminal Gravity.
Chris Baron and Joey Carper
play for the free Courthouse Con-
cert Series Thursday, Sept. 2, at
5:30 p.m. at the courthouse, 101
S. River St. in Enterprise.
Elwood begins the music-fi lled
weekend at the Summit Grill atop
Mount Howard on Sept. 3 and 4.
Both sets start at 2:30 p.m. His
new project, called Rut Nut, plays
at Terminal Gravity in Enterprise
on Sept. 3 from 6-9 p.m., along
with the Chris Baron trio.
To describe his inspiration,
Elwood credits nature: “The trickle

thunder cloud, the pure silence
of meadow lit by the coming of
the sun.”
He lives in Union, where he
was born and raised. He said
he’s worked on recording during
the pandemic, released a single,
and is writing new music. And
he’s teaching guitar lessons at
the Catherine Creek Community
Center.
“I’ve also recently put some of
my music onto Spotify, and am in
the process of planning my next
album to be released summer of
2022,” he said.
Jess Clemons will take the
Terminal Gravity stage Saturday,
Sept. 4, from 6-9 p.m. Now based
in Hood River, she travels for her
music — as far as Vermont and
Nantucket, which she calls “both
old home bases.” She also plays
in Baja, where she spends two to
three months each year for the
winter season.
Although she didn’t write much
new material over the last year or
so, she is “thrilled to be out playing
in public again.” In addition to her
show at Terminal Gravity, Clemons
will “do a bit of recording” with
Bart Budwig at the OK Theatre
while she’s in Wallowa County.
The Casey Kiser band, a blues/
rock trio based in Enterprise,
closes out the weekend with a
show on Sunday, Sept. 5, from
2-4 p.m. at Terminal Gravity.
Find the Summit Grill at the
Wallowa Lake Tramway’s upper
terminal. For information on how
