This week’s top five

LINCOLN CITY — Cemeteries; such peaceful places. Set apart from the hustle and bustle of daily life, they offer a place where a person can collect their thoughts in contemplative silence. Just not this weekend, when A Tour to Die For returns to the Pioneer Cemetery, treating guests to graveside performances from local actors telling tales of those who found their final resting place on this hilltop necropolis.

YACHATS — When you’ve been doing something for 18 years, there’s not mushroom left for improvement. But the fungus extravaganza that is the Yachats Village Mushroom Fest keeps going from strength to strength. Cap off your week with a visit.

on display in a museum. The bricklike communicators carried by 1980s stockbrokers are just one of the items on show as the Burrows House Museum showcases its three new exhibits at an open house this Friday.

LINCOLN CITY — Expect revealing performances from the Theatre West troupe this weekend, as they present “Calendar Girls,” a tale about a women’s club that strips off for charity. We see no costumer credited in the press release. Can this be a coincidence?

Stay abreast of local theater Theatre West presents “Calendar Girls” at the Lincoln City Cultural Center Actors from Lincoln City’s Theatre West will give revealing performances as the group presents “Calendar Girls,” a play about a normally prudish women’s group that bares all for charity. Based on the Miramax motion picture by Juliette Towhidi and Tim Firth, the play is set the small village of Knapeley in the Yorkshire Dales, where Women’s Institute member Annie is grieving the loss of her husband, John, to leukemia. She and best friend, Chris, resolve to raise money for a new couch in the local hospital waiting room. With a little help from hospital porter and amateur photographer, Lawrence, they manage to persuade four fellow Women’s Institute members to pose nude with them for an alternative calendar. The news of the women’s charitable venture spreads like wildfire, and hordes of press soon descend on the village. The calendar is a success, but Chris and Annie’s friendship is put to the test under the strain of their newfound fame. “Calendar Girls” is based on the true story of eleven WI members who posed nude for a calendar to raise money for the Leukemia Research Fund. The Lincoln City production is presented in collaboration with Relay for Life.

SETTING THE STAGE FOR SEDUCTION

Now PlayiNg LiNCoLN CouNty AreA eveNts

By Barbara B. Covell F  TODAY

It takes courage, patience, talent and skill to create extraordinary theater. All are on show in New Vision Arts’ production of David Ives’ “Venus in Fur” at the Newport Performing Arts Center. Quite possibly the most erotic, tantalizing, edgy, yet funny show to hit the Newport stage, “Venus in Fur” is a masterpiece and commentary which presents a woman’s voice in a strangely sordid psychosexual man’s world. But, this is not a typical one-dimensional war-of-thesexes. It is an erotic power play between a man and a woman who portray different characters in an epic storyline. Marc Maislen’s direction and script interpretation might leave audiences breathless from the psychological dance he expertly choreographs. The essence of “Venus in Fur” is a study in the slippery power dynamics between men and women. There is a cast of two, a man and woman, who remain onstage throughout

the entire show, which has no intermission. Ives’ storyline unfolds as an adaptation of the classic sadomasochistic novel “Venus in Furs,” written in 1870 by Austrian author Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, whose name inspired the term masochism. The play begins with New York writer-director Thomas Novachek, who has penned a show based on Sacher-Masoch’s novel. He laments his lack of success in finding a suitable actress to portray his lead character, Vanda von Dunayev. The door opens and an unknown actress, oddly named Vanda Jordan, presents herself for an unscheduled reading. Vanda is brash, vulgar and unschooled, hardly Novachek’s vision of the sophisticated, dominant lead character. But Vanda has prepared a bag of props and seductively persuades Novachek to read with her. Lightning flashes and thunder crashes outside as Vanda performs beautifully, demonstrating great knowledge of the novel and her character. Vanda’s secretive manner entices Novachek

to play a dangerous game of dominance and submission. This play within a play explores manipulation and entrapment to new levels. Minda Stiles portrays Vanda and Jeff rey Wilson is Thomas Novachek. These two actors give tour de force performances, slipping in and out of character without a beat. They hold intricate power over each other, performing gamesmanship to a level rarely seen in community theatre. The lighting and technical nuances also add much to this performance, as evidenced in the crash of thunder and splash lightening. Ernest Brown is the tech director, and Marc Maislen designed the set and lighting. Stage manager is Rhodd Caldwell and costumes are by Sherre Robbins. “Venus in Fur,” an adult comedy with strong language, runs through Sunday, Oct. 29, with 7 pm performances each Friday and Saturday and 2 pm matinées on Sundays. Tickets, $15 in advance or $17 at the door, are available by calling 541-265-2787 or online atwww.coastarts.org.

NOTES FALL INTO PLACE The Oregon Coast Chamber Orchestra will kick off its 2017-18 season in Yachats this Friiday, Oct. 20, with a Fall Concert Series that will have the audience dancing in the aisles. This fun program includes the “Overture to the Merry Wives of Windsor” by Otto Nicolai, the “Libertango” by Astor Piazzolla and an arrangement by Calvin Custer called “The Best Of The Beatles.” Meanwhile, adding a little spookiness to the lineup is John Williams’ movie score “The Magic of Harry Potter.” And audience members can just sit back and dream with Robert Sheldon’s “Appalachian Morning” and Joao Donato’s “Sugar Cane Breeze.” Oregon Coast Chamber Orchestra is a based on the Central Coast, with players coming from as far north as Lincoln City, east as far as Springfield and south as far as Port Orford. Friday’s concert will begin at 7 pm at Yachats Community Presbyterian Church, 360 W 7th Street. Admission is $10 for adults, but free for students and kids. The concert will be repeated on Sunday, Oct. 22, at Florence Community Baptist Church at 2 pm.

Jamie Stillway

A plucky pair The hypnotic sound of fingerstyle guitar will fill the auditorium of the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Wednesday, Oct. 25, as Jamie Stillway and Ben Bonham embark on their “mostly annual” fall tour, Forgoing the traditional plectrum to pluck individual strings with their fingertips, fingerstyle guitarists can play multiple notes at the same time, making the style ideal for guitar soloists. As music critic Don Campbell of the Oregonian reported, “Jamie Stillway not only comps big, fat, swinging and expensive jazz chords but picks with a ferocity that would make Django proud. If she’s not grinning ear to ear during her solos, she should be. Her technique is commanding and artful, and she possesses a gypsy soul that would be at home in 1930s Paris, or busking on the streets of Dallas”. Stillway, who grew up on an apple orchard in rural Minnesota, started studying classical guitar in high school while still attempting to master

the great guitar riffs of the ’70s. After receiving a degree in film studies from the University of California at Santa Barbara, she put her dashed dreams of being an Oscarwinning cinematographer aside and began to study with the great ragtime and blues picker Kenny Sultan. After a brief stint in Denver as a rhythm guitarist in a gypsy jazz group, Stillway relocated to Portland. In 2002, she formed an acoustic guitar duo with resonator slide man Ben Bonham and the duo snared serious accolades from all corners. In 2005, Stillway released her debut solo CD, “Mell of a Hess,” which featured many guest musicians from the Portland area, and was picked up for national distribution by Burnside Distribution. Since moving to Portland, Stillway has quietly been making her mark in the world of fingerstyle guitar. She has toured nationally

Ben Bonham

and internationally; received an endorsement from Stevens Custom Guitars of Munich; and has become an in-demand instructor, teaching at the Healdsburg Guitar Festival, California Coast Music Camp and Puget Sound Guitar Workshop. She has self-released three albums of original compositions and been compared to Leo Kottke, Django Reinhardt, Bill Frisell, Rev. Gary Davis and more. Her most recent release is a collection of solo compositions recorded live at Portland’s Secret Society Studios. Wednesday’s concert will begin at 7 pm in the auditorium of the center at 540 NE Hwy. 101, with doors opening at 6:30 pm. Tickets, $18 in advance and $20 at the door, are available by calling 541-994-9994 or going to lincolncity-culturalcenter.org. A selection of Northwest beers and wines; My Petite Sweet cookies and bars; and Mountain Man savory snacks will be sold before the show and during intermission.

TOMB IT MAY CONCERN, A Tour To Die For is back, and getting g-rave reviews

By Rebecca Stone F  TODAY

hose who say you can rest when you’re dead don’t know the folks interred up at the Taft Pioneer Cemetery. In the two weekends leading up to Halloween, some of them will walk the earth to share their stories with intrepid visitors daring to embark on Lincoln City’s second annual A Tour To Die For. The roughly hour long tours to the historic cemetery kick off at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. There, prior to boarding shuttles offered courtesy of Chinook Winds Casino Resort, guests will be welcomed with hot beverages, snacks and a visitation by the fortuitously named John W. Bones. A grocer back in the day, Mr. Bones donated the land 92 years ago that would become the city’s first cemetery — and his final resting place in 1945. And Mr. Bones had good taste. Perched atop a hill, across from the ocean, Taft Pioneer Cemetery offers sweeping views that would be the envy of the living. Enroute to the their final destination, guides will treat guests to Native American legends, and perhaps some of the more well-polished stories from a different era. At the end of the line, six of the area’s early settlers will take time out from their eternal resting schedules to offer a glimpse into the past in the course of a lantern-lit

stroll through the tombstones to each of their graves. A collaboration between the North Lincoln County Historical Museum, Taft Pioneer Cemetery Association and Lincoln City’s Theatre West, this little jaunt through past lives delivers a spooky albeit history-rich experience, much of it culled from the research of museum Executive Director Anne Hall. “I pick different characters each year from the museum’s extensive collection of oral histories,” said Hall. “I try to find people who have interesting life stories, who are buried in the Pioneer Cemetery.” This year, three men and three women are featured, including two couples — the women sisters — who shared the same house. “I thought it would be interesting to get the differing points of view on what was a very similar experience,” said Hall. “I also wanted to contrast the stories of the wives and husbands. Often, in history, the stories of women’s lives are deemed less important than men’s. Although they worked primarily in the home, the lives of the women were often more exciting than the men’s.” Theatre West actors portraying the dearly departed this year are Bryan Kirsch as Mr. Bones, while veteran thespian Elizabeth Black and Matt Blakeman bring the stories of Finnish couple Jack and Ida Liswig to life. Ida’s sister, Anna, and her husband Matt Niemi are played by Donna Morris and Don Bambrough. And rounding out the cast are Terri King as

local dance hall enthusiast Tonia Hespack and Lewis Smith as homesteader and chicken coop resident Matt Kangas. “The museum prints out biographies, with stories, told in first person, from archival information, and these become scripts,” said Smith, who doubles as director. He explains that while they work from facts, some creative license is taken, and a degree of improvisation and audience interaction is not uncommon. In addition to the challenges inherent in taking a production “on the road,” Lewis also explains that coordinating with shuttles that run every 30 minutes can be tricky. And then there is the weather. Should it turn inclement, organizers will, instead, provide a cemetery drive-through experience, followed by a nocturnal visit to the historical museum, complete with spiritual hosts. The call will be made each night an hour before the tour. A Tour to Die For is partially made possible by a grant from Travel Oregon, from which it received an Oregon Heritage Tourism award. It also received an Oregon Festivals & Events Association’s 2016 Hidden Gem Award. According to Ed Dreistadt, director of the Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau, this has led to Lincoln City being regarded as a leader in heritage tourism. “With very little investment, Lincoln City has a new attraction that literally brings our history to life,” says Dreistadt. He adds that the event, which sold out last year, brought an influx of out-of-town

10 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • october 20, 2017

business to the community in what is typically the off-season. And expectations are that this year will be no different. “Given the demand last year, it will most likely sell out again,” he said. Sheryl P. Smith, president of the Taft Pioneer Cemetery Association, credits numerous volunteers who are helping out with the tour, including local residents Mari Lasagna-Kircher, Terry Kingston, David McKee, Tami Leedom, Bri McKee, Cathy Minnich, Steve and Susie Allen and Linda Wagner who have stepped up to serve as tour guides.

GRAB THE MYC

Anna Russo and Pam McElroy

Have fun for-ages, at the Yachats Village Mushroom Fest Story & photos by Gretchen Ammerman

For the TODAY

hat do you do when you retire from a long career as a scientist specializing in mushrooms? Write a time-traveling supernatural romance novel, of course. At least that’s what David Pilz, a featured speaker at the Yachats Village Mushroom Fest did. Pilz will be signing copies of his novel, “The Bog Maiden,” at the festival, which runs from Friday, Oct. 20, to Sunday, Oct. 22. “There are at least three different time periods, an ancient curse, a haunted bog and mushrooms of immortality,” said Pilz. “I came up with the basic premise around the campfire one night when I was camping on the coast. So of course, that’s where it takes place.” You can also catch the imaginative mycologist as part of the series of talks scheduled Friday and Saturday. Topics include forest ecology and identification of wild mushrooms and lichens. In his presentation, “Mexican Mycophilia and Mycophagy: A travelogue from the 9th International Workshop on Edible Mycorrhizal Mushrooms,” Pilz promises a good visual presentation to accompany his talk. “I have lots of photos,” he said. “Really pretty ones.” And on Saturday, Dr. Charles Lefevre will tell not very tall tales about truffles, primarily the native Oregon type, and follow it by what promises to be a real tail-wagger — a half-hour truffle dog demonstration. Though many fungi are arguably pretty to look at, odds are they wouldn’t get invited to the dance as often as they do if many species also didn’t also taste so darn good. Teaching you how to get the most out of your mycelium will be Lincoln County Mycological Society members Pam McElroy and Anna Russo, who

will lead a workshop on Saturday on cooking edible mushrooms. “Anna and I have done this workshop for a number of years now and cover harvesting, preserving and cooking wild mushrooms,” McElroy said. “We go into detail on various preservation techniques and which are best for which mushrooms, and provide a lot of information on how to bring out the best in the mushrooms you have, including tips on flavor groupings that work well together, seasonal combinations, and what ingredients most mushrooms absolutely love (butter, garlic, and many others).” As both a seasoned cook and mushroom collector, McElroy uses mushrooms that aren’t the usual fare. “My favorite mushrooms are Agaricus augustus (The Prince) with their delicate almond-anise scent, and Boletus edulis (King bolete), the grandaddy of wild mushrooms and

surely one of the most beloved in the world,” she said. “But I have also recently made the acquaintance of Craterellus cornucopiodes (Black Trumpet) which is rich, earthy and utterly delectable — umami on a plate,” You can stretch your legs and hone your collecting skills at one of the 20 mushroom walks scheduled. Though free, participation is limited to 12 people per walk, so preregistration is required. Well-behaved, leashed dogs are permitted on the guided walks although not encouraged. The walks are educational and no foraging will be permitted, but there will be plenty of vendors with a wide array of mushroom types for sale at the Yachats Commons during the weekend. The roughly half-hour walks are scheduled every half hour between 10 to 2:30 pm on Saturday, and 10 am to 2 pm on Sunday. If collecting in the wild isn’t your bag, Dr. Steven Carpenter is back this year, joined

by Kim Kittredge, to show you how to grow your own oyster mushrooms in a sack. Guests attending the presentation will get to take part in a workshop where they will receive all the materials necessary to grow enough oyster mushrooms for several meals. If your favorite kind of cooked mushrooms are those that were cooked by other people, Yachats has your back. During the three days of the festival, area restaurants will be joining the fun-gi by adding special mushroom-centric items to their usual menus. Find out participating restaurants and the special menu items by visiting the festival website. Yachats Village Mushroom Fest weekend opens Friday evening with a family-style dinner that includes mushroom soups, salad and desserts prepared by local chefs, original acoustic guitar by Yachatian Ian Smith, a silent auction, and a surprise table game with prizes, and no-host wine and beer. Tickets are $15. Rapidly approaching its 20th year, the festival features many repeat lecturers and workshop leaders. “Myself and a lot of other mycologists keep coming back because it’s so much fun,” Pilz said. “It’s a great festival; the talks are always good and the guided walks are a gas.” Another draw, Pilz said, is the type of people that tend to be drawn to things mycological. “You’ll find that most of the people involved heavily with mushrooms are eccentric,” he said. “And that’s a good thing.” The Yachats Village Mushroom Fest runs from Friday, Oct. 20, through Sunday, Oct 22. A $5 wristband gives admission to the Speakers Forum and workshops (some workshops also have small fees for materials). Wristbands will be available at the Yachats Visitors Center, 241 Hwy. 101, from 10 am to 4 pm, until Saturday, and then will be sold inside the main entrance of the Yachats Commons, Hwy. 101 & W 4th Street.

A real pot-boiler

A GOOD BOOK TO DIP INTO Wallace J. Nichols, author of “Blue Mind” will visit Pacific City for a special science pub and book signing event on Friday, Oct. 27, hosted by the Nestucca, Neskowin and Sand Lake Watersheds Council Nichols, called “Keeper of the Sea” by GQ Magazine and “a visionary” by Outside Magazine, is an innovative, silo-busting, entrepreneurial scientist, movement maker, renown marine biologist, voracious explorer, wild water advocate, bestselling author and sought-after lecturer. “Blue Mind,” published in summer 2014, explores the concept that simply being around water makes people

happier, healthier and better at what they do. The book quickly became a national bestseller and has been translated to numerous languages. The event will run from 6 to 8 pm at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Drive. Advance tickets, $10 for adults and $5 for kids, are available at eventbrite. com. The MidCoast Watersheds Council will be organizing a carpool to this event and will also be purchasing a block of tickets. For details, call Evan Hayduk at 541-265-9195 or email evan@midcoastwatershedscouncil. org.

Author Diana Abu-Jaber will be serving up a helping of her new culinary memoir, “Life Without a Recipe,” this Saturday, Oct. 21, at Manzanita’s Hoffman Center for the Arts. The memoir, described as “a book of love, death, and cake,” has won praise from Ruth Reichl as “bold and luscious” and “indispensable to anyone trying to forge their own truer path.” Abu-Jaber was born in Syracuse, New York, to an American mother and a Jordanian father. Her family moved to Jordan a few times throughout her childhood, and elements of both her American and Jordanian experiences, as well as crosscultural issues, especially culinary reflections, appear in her work. Her novels and a previous memoir have won numerous awards, including the ArabAmerican National Book Award, the PEN Center Award for Literary fiction, the American Book Award, the Northwest Booksellers’ Award and the Oregon Book award for Literary Fiction. Her books have been included in many “top books of the year” lists by National Public Radio, the LA Times, the Washington Post, the Oregonian and others. Abu-Jaber teaches writing and literature at Portland State University and divides her time between South Florida and Portland. Saturday’s reading will begin at 7 pm, with doors opening at 6:30 pm at 594 Laneda Avenue. After the reading and a Q&A, up to nine local or visiting writers will read five minutes of their original work in an open mic with the optional theme “Food Memories.” Admission is $7.

Writing the Food Memoir,” the workshop will look at ways to write life stories by peering through the culinary lens. “There will be writing prompts, exercises, discussions, and food,” Abu-Jaber said. “We’ll be tasting and thinking and comparing notes, considering all the ways that our connections to eating give rise to remembering and inspiration. Come and see what you cook up. Bring your curiosity and your appetite, a sense of play and a sense of humor.” The workshop will be held at the Hoffman Center for the Arts and tuition is $40.

History, in black-and-white Society’s changing attitudes toward orcas or killer whales are at the heart of the Saturday, Oct. 21, meeting of the Oregon Chapter of the American Cetacean Society. Guest speaker Mark Leiren-Young, a journalist, filmmaker and author from Victoria, British Columbia, will present on his recent book, “The Killer Whale Who Changed The World,” which tells the story of the first orca held in captivity. “Killer whales had always been seen as bloodthirsty sea monsters,” he said. “That all changed when a young killer whale was captured off the west coast of North America and displayed to the public in 1964.” The whale, which became known as Moby Doll, was an instant celebrity, drawing 20,000 visitors on the one and only day he was exhibited. He died within a few months, but his famous gentleness sparked a worldwide crusade that transformed how people

understood and appreciated orcas. “Because of Moby Doll, we stopped fearing ‘killers,’” Leiren-Young said, “and grew to love and respect ‘orcas.’” Leiren-Young is the author of numerous books, including “Never Shoot a Stampede Queen,” for which he won the Stephen Leacock

Medal for Humour, and “The Green Chain,” based on his award-winning film of the same name. He is currently finishing a feature length film documentary on Moby Doll. The meeting, which is free and open to all, starts at 10 am at Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye Street.

Become a Renaissance fan Culture is on the agenda this Tuesday, Oct. 24, as the Oregon Coast Learning Institute continues its winter semester, with presentations on Renaissance Italy and the Oregon Coast’s music scene. At 10 am, Rosanne Berton will show how the wealth of art, literature, architecture and music produced during the Italian Renaissance was counterbalanced by deep depravity, corruption and disease. The presentation will cover the major artists, patrons,

popes and politicians of an era that could be described as “The New, The Depraved, and the Beautiful.” At 1 pm, John Lavrakas, executive director of the Newport Symphony Orchestra, and Dr. Mary Lee Scoville music director of the Central Coast Chorale, will share the remarkable story of how two highly regarded musical organizations have come to be in this spot of rural Oregon. They will discuss their history, the communities they

draw from, and the unique way they engage with audiences within the region. The Oregon Coast Learning Institute meets each Tuesday at Salishan Spa and Golf Resort, located east of the traffic light at Gleneden Beach. Dues of $75 cover all of the 12 Tuesdays in the winter semester, and guests are always welcome to attend a full day’s presentations for free.

Great reception at Burrows House Newport’s Burrows House Museum will host an open house and autumn social this Friday, Oct. 20, marking the official opening of three new exhibits. The new exhibits feature objects ranging from a vintage cell phone to a decorative sword made of Chinese coins taken in trade on the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Reservation more than 100 years ago. The brick-like cell phone is part of an exhibit entitled “Gadget Graveyard: Replaced by the Smartphone,” which also features rotary dial phones, hand-crank phonographs, tube TVs, mechanical adding machines and a host of other devices that have all been rendered obsolete by the multifaceted miracle in your pocket. Meanwhile, in the Siletz Room, guests can view items from the Clarinda G. Copeland Collection, perhaps the most requested objects in the Society’s care. This traditional exhibit features baskets, beads, dance aprons, headdress, purses, tishai sticks, spears, spoons and more, all displayed in vintage oak and glass cases. The final exhibit, “Special Delivery: Lincoln County Postal Service History,” explores the history of the county’s once-numerous post offices. The old Eddyville PO boxes, a vintage postman’s uniform and a “sanitary” stamp dispenser are central to this exhibit, which details the rough life faced by mail carriers of old. The open house will run from 5:30 to 7 pm at the museum, located at 545 SW 9th Street, behind the Newport Armory. A cookie buffet, cider and coffee will be available during the event. Admission is free, but donations are gratefully accepted. • At 5 pm, half hour prior to the open house, the Historical Society will hold its annual meeting in the Carriage House, electing new board members and officers. All society members are encouraged to attend and vote.

A scene from “The Tables”

Enjoy some net-flicks The Wandering Reel Traveling Film Festival will return to Manzanita this Friday, Oct. 20, with a screening of five short international films at Hoffman Center for the Arts. Built around the theme “In Between Us,” the program features films about the bonds that connect people — often in unexpected ways. The screenings will be followed by a Q&A session with festival director Michael Harrington.

“The Tables”

Directed by John Bunning (United States) A look at the powerful connection between a pair of outdoor ping pong tables in the heart of New York City and the unlikely group of people they’ve brought together, from homeless people to investment bankers to gangbangers. (15 min.)

“Big City”

Directed by Jordan Bond and Lachlan Ryan (Australia) A story about making a friend on the ride home. (9 min.)

“Into the Blue”

Directed by Antoneta Alamat Kusijanovic (Croatia) Thirteen-year-old Julija and her mother flee their abusive household to find refuge on an idyllic Croatian island where Julija grew up. Emotionally scarred, Julija is desperate to reconnect with her best friend, Ana. But Ana is in love with a boy and Julija is no longer a priority. (22 min.)

“Anna”

Directed by Or Sinai (Israel) It’s a hot summer’s day, and for the first time

in years Anna, a sewing workshop worker, unexpectedly finds herself alone, without her son. She sets out for a free night, roaming the streets of her small desert town, looking for a man who can touch her, even just for one brief moment. (24 min.)

Zela Trovke

Directed by Asier Altuna (Basque Spain) Moritats are old folk songs about crimes and are typical of Central Europe. Zela Trovke is a moritat from Slovakia, which the Holland Baroque Society has recovered to include in its Barbaric Beauty program. Maite Larburu, the orchestra’s violinist, unveils the song’s hidden secrets. (13 min.) The screenings will start at 7:30 pm at 594 Laneda Avenue. Admission is $5 at the door.

Jamie Stillway and Ben Bonham are setting out on their “mostly annual” fall tour, and will be stopping in Lincoln City for a performance at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. Their eponymous debut release snagged serious accolades from all corners, and was named one of the top albums of the year by Willamette Week. “Stillway and Bonham cut through the clatter of pop music with a package that’s part Django Reinhardt and part Rev. Gary Davis, tied up with a ragtime bow.”
