By Jeff Petersen Go! magazine

The Great Circle takes partying with a purpose to a whole new level.

The music festival, now in its third year, will take place Friday through Sunday at the Blue Mountain4-H Center on Hunter Road north of La Grande.

The event features music from 22 bands on two stages. Campers and others attending will be treatedtoan array ofart,food by Steal Your Plate, a caterer from Portland featuring seasonal and local-grown menus, yoga and a beer garden put on by Two Kilts Brewing Co. based in Sherwood.

Tickets, $35, which include camping and parking all weekend, are available online through paypal at www.campcascadia.com and at the gate.

Day passes are $10 for Friday, $15 for Saturday and $10 for Sunday.

Kids younger than 12 get in for free.

The Great Circle is a celebration of and benefit for the Blue Mountains Conservancy, a nonprofit land trust. The conservancy's missionisto preserve open space and protect lands from unwanted

development.

The GreatCircle gotstarted with Colton Haney of the band Bitterroot's vision to have a weekend music festival that honors the land in the Grande Ronde Valley and benefits organizations helping torestoreand protectnatural areas and habitats.

"The vision was inspired by the book'Rendezvous,"' Haney said, "which is a collection of storiesabout early settlersand the Native American influence in Eastern Oregon. The book spoke ofhow several tribes from the surrounding area would gather in the Grande Ronde Valley in the summer totrade,harvestand share stories. This valley was peaceful groun(l.

According to The Great Circle website, severaltribescame together in the summer to forage, fish and soak in the hot springs.

Even tribes hostile to each other elsewhere would gather harmoniously in the Valley of Peace.

Haney's vision was brought to the board members of Blue Mountains Conservancy to see if they would be interested in being the benefactor ofthefestival.

"The first year we had a solid group of people that really wanted to make it happen, but unfortunately none ofushad much ofan idea ofhow to set up and run a festival, so despite our efforts and brainstorming it did not manifest that year which was 2011, I believe," Haney said.

But Haney persisted.

In 2012, he brought the idea to goodfriends and Portland-based

'They have had extensive experience in setting up music events and festivals all of which are benefits for good causes," Haney said.'%ith their help, we are now on to the third year."

The main change from last year is that the festival has 22 artists for the weekend, up from 14.

Closeto150 peopleattended the festival lastyear.Thatisexpected to grow to 200-plus this year, Haney said.

'The main goal of this event," he said, "is to bring our community together as family and lay down any differences we may have for the weekend, to celebrate art, community and nature, to educate, inform, inspire and have fun."

The fest ivalisdesigned topromote sustainable living practices and healthy lifestyles. It is also an educational vehicle to teach people aboutthe delicate ecosystems that m ake up the Grande Ronde Valley, formerlyknown by the native people who gathered here as the Valley of Peace.

By Jeff Petersen Go! magazine

This year's third annual Great Circle Music Festival Friday through Sundayincludes many musical adventurers, not least of which is the indie folk band The Moonshine.

From Portland, the five-piece stringband will not only play the festivalat7:15 p.m .Friday but also play shows at 7 p.m. tonight at the Terminal Gravity Brewery in Enterprise and at 8 p.m. Thursday at Ten Depot Street in La Grande.

The local shows are part of the band's Eastern Cascadia Tour in supportofitsdebutrelease,"And Now ... The Moonshine."The tour includes several shows in Idaho and Montana, taking them as far east as Bozeman.

Banjo player Sara Wolf for one, is looking forward to a return visit to Northeast Oregon. Last time she was here, when she was 5, she was mule-kicked by a deer that she was trying to feed alfalfa pellets.

She's hoping the audience in La Grande is more fiiendly this time. eWe'rehappy to bepartofGreat Circle supporting agreatcause, the Blue Mountains Conservancy and preserving the wilderness," she said. Thanks to Bitterroot ithe local band) for making this all

The Moonshine is touring to promote its debut release. and lead singer was previouslyin the rock and roll band Michael the Blind along with autoharpist and lead singer Rachael Levasseur and standup bass player Elwood Johncox.

"I had asked Michael to play in my band, Dreamtime Compass, that included Susanna Low-Beer on fiddle. The bands merged. It took on a life of its own,"Wolf said. eWe started playing shows once a week at a venue called Electrolab.

People were really responding, and we built momentum."

The first tract on the new album, "Never No," has a unique sound, Wolf said, that starts with an ascending anthem around the theme,'You've gotta do the things you gotta do."

"Hang Me Out," a song the band just did a video for, is fun to play, Wolf said, and speaks to important themes such as the housing and debtcrisisand therecession,things thatpeoplecan relateto.

Another song the band did a video for is called"Flood."

"That song was written during Hurricane Katrina,"Wolf said."It's

aboutthat fl ood andwhat happened there."

The song also has spiritual meanings, she said. The lyrics include"on my way up to higher ground." It's about how we find the high ground in our lives. How we face adversity and overcome. How we take these hard times in our lives and make them a catalyst for somethingwe would never have chosen or a path we never would have found ourselves on."

Such songs led to the band to beingasked to providemusic fora full-length feature film,"Plant This Movie."The film, which debuted at the Portland Film Festival Aug. 30, focuses on urban farming around the world.

Although the band calls itselfindie folk, it's much more. In a survey of a crowd at a recent show, most people voted to call their music grunge folk.

"But if you can be compartmentalized into a particular genre, you are probably not all that unique, and that is what we want to be,"

Wolf said.

The Moonshine's music, she said,

This month, the Baker Art Guild presents "! Women Art Revolution"by Lynn Hershman on Thursday at the Historic Eltrym Theater, 1809 First St. in Baker City.

The event will celebrate Banned Books Week, Women's Art and the new seats at the Eltrym.

The evening begins at 6:30 p.m. with live storytelling in the theme of"Women, You Move Me." The film starts at 7 p.m.

Ticketsare $6 for adults and $4 for students and seniors.

Proceeds will benefit the Baker County Public Library.

About the film For more than 40 years, Director Lynn Hershman Leeson has collected hundreds of hours of interviews with visionary artists, historians,curators and critics who shaped the beliefs and values of the Feminist Art Movement and reveal previously undocumented strategies used to politicize female artists and integrate women into art structures. "! Women Art Revolution" elaboratesthe relationship of

the Feminist Art Movement to the 1960s anti-war and civil rights movements and explains how historical events, such as the all-male protest exhibition against the invasion of Cambodia, sparked the first of many feminist actions against major cultural institutions.

The film details major developments in women's art of the 1970s, including the first feministarteducation programs, political organizations and protests, alternativeart spaces such as the A.I.R. Gallery and Franldin Furnace in New York and the Los Angeles Women's Building, publications such as Chrysalis and Heresies, and landmark exhibitions, performances and installations of public art that changed the direction of art.

New ways of thinking about the complexitiesofgender,race, class and sexuality evolved. The Guerrilla Girls emerged as the conscience of the art world and held academic institutions, galleries and museums accountable for discrimination practices.

Over time, the tenacity and courageofthese pioneering women artists resulted in what many historians now feel is the most significant art movement of the late 20th century.

Carrie Brownstein composed an original score to accompany the film. Laurie Anderson, Janis Joplin, Sleater-Kinney, The Gossip, Erase Errata and Tribe 8 are some of the musicians who contributed to the soundtrack.

By Jeff Petersen Go! staff

Josh McVicar, known as McVicar The Trickster, bills his show as entertainment for the not so sophisticated.

A St. Louis native, he travels the country performing comedy, magic and hypnosis shows. Thursday, he brings his comedy hypnosis show to the Eastern Oregon University campus for Week of Welcome.

McVicar will perform from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. at McKenzie Theatre in Loso Hall. The performance is just for students. and not open to the public.

McVicar, who has lived in St. Louis all his life, said he got started in magic in high school.

shows a year all over the country, from family shows all the way to corporate shows.

"But my favorite audience to perform for arecollegesand "My first job was as a closeuniversities, which is where my up magician at a local pizzeria," primary focus is," he said.

McVicar said.

The St. Louis area, he said, is During that time, he also great for traveling as it is central became a certified hypnotherapist in the country. and comedy stage hypnotist.

McVicar's show has a reputation 'The only job I've ever done in for high energy.

from the audience I'm performing for," he said.'That's another reason why I prefer college shows as the audience never holds back their excitement and can't wait to get on stage to assist me."

Hypnosis, he said, is real.

"It's not mystical or magical," he said."It's actually a method where a volunteerentersa deep state of relaxation, allowing the hypnotist togivesuggestions to theirsubconscious. A lot of their concerns and insecurities vanish in this relaxed state."

Although hypnosis will be the focus of the Eastern show, McIvar alsodoes alotofm agic,both on stage and close up,. He said he prefers to work with cards.

"Ihave severalmagic effects that I love," he said."But for me, not only does a magic trick have to be amazing, it also has to be funny.

I'vealso preferred thatmy audience leave my show saying, Wow, that was amazing, hilarious and entertaining' as opposed to That

in ZOO was great, but I'm so angry. I want to know how that works."'

McVicar said he does hilarious skits in his hypnosis show. They range fiom turning the audience into the world's largest petting zoo and allowing the hypnotized volunteers to petand even ride some of the audience members to turning volunteers into Miley Cyrus's backup dancers.

'There are tons ofhilarious moments that will have students talkingabout forthe restofthe year," he said.

One main reason McVicar is in demand in the college market, he said, is that he offers a funny and original show that isn't designed to glorify him as the entertainer.

"It's about creating a hilarious experience for the students and them seeing their fiiends become the stars of the show," he said."It really is about just having an awesome time allowing everyone to see a show thatisstep abovetherest."

Coming kom Reno, Nevv Snider picked up the violin when he was just3 yearsold.Overtheyears, exposure to rock music and songwriters like Ben Harper and Paul Simon inspired him to play the guitar.

His sojourns in Spain and Cuba introduced flamenco, salsa and Alro-Cuban rhythms into his repertoire. His music can be described as a world-folk-jazz hybrid that is aimed at the heart, the brain and the feet.

This year he just released his new record,"Let Go, Jump in the River" and is currently touring to support it.
