Go: Hotv did you get started? Earliest inspiration? Mallory: I always liked listening to music. Around middle school age, I wanted to make music as well as listen to it. My earliest inspiration was Nirvana. Kurt Cobain got lots of kids playing guitar again. Kind oflike The Beatles and The Rolling Stones did in the mid-1960s. Go: What kind of music does The Wasteland Kings play? Mallory: Hmm,this question is hard for me to answer. Rock and roll, blues and folk mixed up ... music gumbo. We get told we are "Americana."

OK:

Mallory: Man, I have more favorite musicians than Wild Bill had notches on his belt. It starts with great songwriting,performed with exquisite taste. I tend to be songwriter driven — Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt, Robert EarlKeen, Muddy Waters,Todd Snider, Hank Sr.,toomany to mention.

Neil Young & the Promise of the Real "The Monsanto Years" (Reprise) Neil Young follows his muse, or in this case, his rage.'The Monsanto Years" is an album-length rant recorded with Willie Nelson's sons Lukas and Micah in which the Farm Aid co-founder targets his venom mostly at agricultural giant Monsanto in songs that often sound like he wrote them on the spot. That's not necessarily a terrible thing: Though Young's anger about industrial farming's use of genetically modified organisms is often awkwardly expressed, the project teems with the off-the-cufl; ragged, loose-limbed energy that has often made this most instinctive of classic rockers'pro jectsgreat.In the end, though, there's simply too much one-sided, subtie-as-a-flying-mallet fulmination to compel repeated listening. Put this one in the same category as previous ecologically focused projects like"Greendale"

i20031 and"Fork in the Road" i20091, which even ardent Young fans are not wont to revisit. But that doesn't mean that when he tours behind it his passionate drive to put the songs across won't result in another great Neil Young show. — Dan DeLuca, MCT News Service

Experience a night at the museum April's showcase heads to Baker Heritage Museum's ballroom

O. See the arts Want to see artist exhibitions in Northeast Oregon? Here is a list of where to find local art.

BAKER CITY — Turn artists loose in a museum and you never know what kind of art will result from checking every exhibit and

display. In November2014,regional artists were invited to tour the Baker Heritage Museum in Baker City to find inspiration for artwork to be featured at Crossroads Carnegie Art Center this past April. Now that show — "A Night at the Baker Heritage Museum" — is on display in the museum's ballroom throughout the month of July. There are 43 works of art. An opening celebration will begin at 6 p.m. Friday with live music. "It's going to be really fun," said Lea Hoover, museum director. Admission will be by donation during these special evening hours. For this show, artists submitted works in many mediums, and subjects varied from a wagon wheel spoke to barbed wire to the glowing rock display. "I think it's really interesting what inspired them," Hoover said. Most piecesare accompanied by a description. For his watercolor and wax creation, Mike Meyer said, "It was not just one museum but literally

age, including an Airstream trailer beingpulled by a team ofoxen. Other works include barbed wirestrands painted in watercolor, a Whippetcardriving on a dirt road through the sagebrush, and a clay bowl decorated with a horned toad and sidewinder. Tymmera Whitnah was inspired by textures throughout the museum and used clay to recreate the old wooden slats of the wheat thresher. Some pieces on display were not part of the April show at Crossroads,and many are available to purchase iunless the accompanying card is marked with a red sticker). The variety exhibited among the art speaks to the depth of the museum's collections. 'You can visit here 100 times and still find something new," Hoover said. The Baker Heritage Museum is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily

LA GRANDE — Playing music in unusual places is not on Andy Steele and Brent Smith's bucket list. Not yet, anyway. But the local musicians have beenrecruited toperform forthe first Concert on the Water from 7 p.m.to8:30 p.m. Saturday at Morgan Lake, located in the mountains three miles southwest of La Grande. Sponsored by the La Grande Parks and Recreation Commission, the concert is free, but there will be a tip jar for the

rl Ii g Il

band. People are invited to bring their non-motorized boatsorother floating devices and enjoy an evening of music. Boats more than 10 feet long need invasive species permits, which can be purchased at Bi-Mart or Walmart for $5. "It's a new idea, and we don't know how it will go," said Meg Hawks, a commission member for the last 1-V2 years."In theoryit could be awesome, and we hope to make it an annual event." When Hawks was in college at BYU-Idaho, she was involved in planning and implementing outdooreventssimilartothisone. "The university had a lot of creative outlets for the students, and I've missed being involved in that," Hawks said."I love canoeing at Morgan Lake,and Ilove good music. I talked it over with the other commission members and we made it a go. I want to do things to benefit the community and draw attention to our outdoor amenities. Being on the commission has given me that opportunity."

Brent Smith, left, and Andy Steele, right, will perform for the first Concert on theWater Saturday at Morgan Lake, located three miles southwest of La Grande. Smith, for one, is excited about the prospect. "I've been at Morgan Lake when the sun goes down and it's totally beautiful," said Smith, who will play guitar and sing on a drift boat anchored in the lake while Steele handles the drums."I'm excited about trying this. As a music listener, I can imagine enjoying being on a boat in the water feeling the breeze enjoying the music." The musician and lawyer said they will perform acoustic folk music, coversand originalsongs. ' We'll do a couple of Woody Guthrie tunes, like 'Roll on, Columbia, Roll on' and'Oregon Trail,' Smith said, "songs from a famous collection he did while employed by the Bonneville Power Adminis-

tration. He said Guthrie was unknown when the BPA hired him in 1941 to record songs about the Columbia River hydroelectric system. Smith and Steele will also perform some of Smith's originals, such as "Grande Ronde," which is named after theriver. Smith said he plays in a lot of projects, including Brent Smith & Friends, which is on track to play six to eight times this year. Steele, meanwhile, is a recreation specialist for the La Grande Ranger District when he is not drumming in jazz gigs with keyboard master Matt Cooper, a rock band called the Catskills or playing in Smith's projects. "It should be a real intimate

show," Smith said, "with the sound reflecting off the water and the vibration of drums moving through the water." Steele has played music in some interesting places. Once he gave a concertat8,600-feetelevation in Yosemite National Park in a building that is on the National Register ofHistoricPlaces. But playing from a drift boat on a lake will be a new and interesting experience, he said. "I suspect Brent's voice and my base drum will carry really well," he said.

Radio show host playing at OK Theatre Dan Maher performmg mix of songs, storytelling and sing-a-longs ENTERPRISE — Dan Maher's "Inland Folk Radio Show" is famous in the Pacific Northwest, sending contemporary and classical folk music over the airwaves. Maher will sing some of his favorite folk tunes Thursday at the OK Theatre in Enterprise. Maher said when"Inland Folk" started, he would go to Spokane, Washington, and record three or four shows at a time. Back then there were three guys who shared the duties hosting the radio show. "A couple years into it the guys were tired of it and junked it. I told NWPR, 'I'll take over the whole thing."'

that people not~ust hear alternative forms of folk, but that I try and make a conscious effort to entertain as well as make a bunch of music." Maher said he came to Wallowa County this spring to emcee the Hootenanny, a fundraiser for Wallowa Valley Music Alliance, and stayed to hear aWeather Machine" a Portland-based band at the OK. After that show he said he wanted tosingatthetheater. A long-time fiiend of the OKs owner Darrell Brann, Maher said he told Brann,"I have to play this room. Do you have a free day?n Maher's been blind since infancy, and Brann said he has an incredible ear. Maher said he grew up singing and harmonized with his twin sister as a kid. She didn't have his zeal for the stage, but he went on to make a name for himself singing and playing folk songs around the region. He said he's not a songwriter; his talent is bringing old classics to new audiences. "It's just as hard to interpret songs and do them justice. It's important to share these songs," Maher said. Interwoven with old songs from Appalachia and the Midwest are stories. He said his show at the OK is a mix of storytelling, folk songs from America's roots and a sing-a-long. "It will be a family event where people can sing more songs in an awesome room," Maher said. "I love the sharing part and I like the idea of people sitting in a room singing together." Maher said it's important to perform old American folk songs so they survive, both the songs and the instrumentals. "I'm a little worried we are losing sight of those instrumentals out there like "Soldier's Joy." These things have lasted 300 years and they are good tunes."

Dan Maher brings folk songs old and new to the OKTheatre Thursday.

About the'Inland Folk with Dan Maher' "Inland Folk with Dan Maher" is an eclectic program of local and national folk music with a 30-year tradition in the Northwest. "Inland Folk" actually began on Spokane Public Radio and Maher rode a bus in Washington from Pullman to Spokane every few weeks to produce two or three programs at a time. He hauled a variety of music on those trips. For many years now, Maher has recorded the program in Pullman. He is his own producer, editor, engineer and host — and his audience loves what he does. He also performs music all over the Northwest. The program has expanded from a one-hour show to the three hours of folk music it is today. "Inland Folk" still airs on Spokane Public Radio.

Sunday Time for anything missed Friday and Saturday.

Monday Back to reality, but "not without a really good route home," organizers say on the event website. A route backto the Portland area via Paulina is recommended. Those headed back that way are invited to meet at 7 a.m. in front of the Geiser Grand Hotel.

Hells Canyon Motorcycle Rally set this weekend BAKER CITY — Steve Folkestad loves riding his motorcycle on the backroads of Baker County. "There's more stunning geography within a day's ride of Baker than anywhere else," he says. He discovered it 16 years ago and still gets goosebumps when he remembers his first glimpse of the Wallowa Mountains. "It's like 'wow — I can't believe this,"' he said. "I remember the exact moment I turned that corner." Ten years ago Folkestad, who lives in Portland, invited other riders to join him. The Hells Canyon Motorcycle Rally has grown each year, and this year he expects many thousands to again join the fun Thursday through Monday in Baker City. "They come and discover all of this. They get the magic," he said. He said at least 60 percent will be return riders. "There's so much you can't take it all in in one year," he said. This year's theme is "Ride Like a Devil," paying homage to the Seven Devils Mountains in Idaho. The rally T-shirt features the names of each mountain — He Devil, She Devil, The Goblin, The Ogre, The Twin Imps, Devils Throne and Tower of Babel. A new route this year is"The Ogre," which takes riders to Oxbow and then to Cambridge, Idaho. "In the shadow of the Seven Devils," Folkestad said. There are officially seven rides: The Ogre, Devil's Tail, Lucky Highway 7, Route 666, The Little Dragon, Tamarack Trail and Road Rash Pass. The HCMR booth on Main Street

An estimated 4,000 riders — 1,500 of those registered — will be in Baker City and the surrounding area this weekend for the Hells Canyon Motorcycle Rally.

LISA BRITTON Ibritton@bakercityherald.com @goNEoregon will have free maps of all the routes. He said he encourages riders to do the Hells Canyon route earlier in theday beforeitgetstoohot, but the other routes include high mountain passes that stay cooler. Folkestad said the rally has about 1,500 registered participants each year, but they estimate at least

4,000riderscome forthe event. The action is centered in downtown Baker City, where Main Street will be closed from Washington Avenue to Valley Avenue starting at noon Thursday. It will reopen Sunday afternoon. Folkestad said most participants will arrive Thursday and take one oftheshorterscenicrides. He said the poker run is usuallydone on Friday orSaturday. This 151-mile course goes from Baker City to Medical Springs and then Catherine Creek summit to Union, then back through Pyles Canyon and North Powder, and up the Elkhorn Scenic Byway past Anthony Lakes, Granite, Sumpter and back to Baker City. Ridersare encouraged toride in groupsofsix to eight. Folkestad said everyone should "ride your own ride." ''We want safety to be foremost," he said."The ultimate goal of the rally is to pull into your garage after four fun-filled days." Although the riders head out for most of the day to explore Eastern

discovered the Raine Stockton Dog Mysteries by Donna Ball three years ago. Set in the small town of Hansonville, North Carolina, this series of"cozy mysteries" features Raine Stockton, a dog trainer and search and rescue volunteer, and her Golden Retriever, Cisco. Raine is very experienced and serious about what she does for a living, which is complemented amusingly by Cisco's lack thereof. I really enjoy reading about a working dog in training asopposed to oneswith roboticbehaviorI've read in the past. Cisco's character is reminiscent of Chet from the well-known Chet and Bernie Mysteries, who is very much a professional but also very much a dog. Come to think of it, a story from Cisco's point of viewin Chet and Bernie style — would be pretty entertaining. Just as much as Cisco is a dog, Raine is human. These stories are told from her point of view, making it easier to understand her at times irascible behavior. She's a judge's daughter and a sheriA"s ex-wife. She finds herself

Dog Mysteries

I love small town mysteries, thrillers and suspense and this series has been my absolute favoriteso far.Iread the fi rst book, "Smoky Mountain Tracks," in two days and that seems to be a pattern with me when reading this series. The first story involves the rescue of a kidnapped child who has been taken into the Smoky Mountains, terrain that Raine knows better than anyone.When the body of the kidnapper is discovered, that'swhen itgets interesting. I hope you enjoy this page-turner as much as I did.
