Submitted By: pac@ncrdnehalem.org – Click to email about this post
TERRY ROBB has earned international acclaim from music critics, peers and fans. Incorporating elements from the Mississippi Delta, ragtime, country, swing and jazz, Robb ranks right up there with the heavy hitters, a player of dazzling skill and technique. He’s been hailed as “one of the best players, on acoustic and electric, embracing a range of blues styles and then some.”

Drummer Gary Hobbs is a native of the Pacific Northwest and has played professionally for over 4 decades. Gary has played with The Stan Kenton Orchestra, Randy Brecker, Bud Shank, Anita O’Day, Terry Gibbs, The New York Voices, The Woody Herman Orchestra and many others.

Bassist Dave Captein is an accomplished performer on both string bass and bass guitar, having worked as a professional musician for over 35 years. Dave is a favorite choice for the region’s many bandleaders and always in demand for his solid sound, time and feel, as well as his soloing abilities.

Gary Hobbs and Dave Captein will join Terry Robb for an evening of Electric Music – From Country and Blues to John Coltrane and Jimmy Hedrix! It’s a different side of Terry Robb!

You don’t want to miss this show! Friday, April 12, 7:00 pm at NCRD Performing Arts Center in Nehalem. Tickets are available at tickettomato.com.

Local Writers Read Stories, Poems on ‘Beach Noir’ Theme March 22

Submitted By: nmccarthy1276@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
“Beach Noir,” this year’s theme for the Writers Read Celebration, sponsored by the Cannon Beach Library, was quirky enough to result in 79 short stories and poems involving crustaceans to die for, ghost ships, slovenly detectives and the women who taunt them. Sixteen of those entries will be read by writers from Oregon and Washington on March 22. The Writers Read Celebration begins at 7 p.m. in the library, 131 N. Hemlock St. It also will be shown online through the library’s website at cannonbeachlibrary.org. Writers wrote their “whodunits” from every angle. Some were melancholy, while others found humor. One poet asked, “Where’s the Noir?” Another writer talked to a ghostly bartender. Cats are involved in one mystery, and a variety of sea creatures find their way into several stories. This is the sixth year of the library’s Writers Read Celebration. Writers of all ages from anywhere were invited to submit entries in any format, and the library received more entries than in any year. Entries were limited to 600 words each; writers could submit three entries. A panel of library volunteers selected 16 entries from 15 writers. “Beach Noir” was defined as “taking place in a dark or foreboding setting, though the tone and descriptions can be unconventional and playful. Other elements may include flashes of humor, flawed underdog characters or a crime scene.” Those who were invited to read this year were: Kyra Blank, Siletz, Oregon, poem, StayAlive Brad Buckley, Portland, Oregon, short story, Dark Green Waves John D. Ciminello, Naselle, Washington, short story, Bonnie and Mr. Clyde Kristin Daemon, Seaside, Oregon, flash fiction, A Punishing Place Destiny Deras, Seaside, Oregon, short story, Dungeness Bisporus David Dillon, Manzanita, Oregon, short story, The Knife Pamella S. Gibson, Seaview, Washington, poem, just another beach town murder Craig Allen Heath, Longview, Washington, short story, Farewell My Sandcastle Mike Kloeck, Newport, Oregon, short story, Lost in Limbo Colleen Medlock, Portland/Seaside, Oregon, short story, Anniversary Jennifer Nightingale, Astoria, Oregon, two poems: Abandoned, Bistro Table D.

Spring Equinox (Ostara) Magical/Art/Sauna Retreat- Sat 3/23

Submitted By: revolutionginger@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I’m going to tell you a secret.

There’s a reason they call me the “Pivot Queen”.

When I decide I’m going for something I usually end up making it happen. Even if I have no idea how to do it.

From the outside it can seem like magic.

Start an off grid farm, build a retreat center, create a tea company, become a coach.

Looking back I’m not even sure how it all happens- but I do know where I start.

Intention.

I’ve get very clear on what I want.
In essence- I create a spell to reach my goal.

Does this mean my new life just magically appears?
Oh hell no.

There’s always blood, sweat and tears along the way.
But damn if these spells of intention don’t end up paying off-Every. Single. Time.

Now, I know a spell sounds woo woo.

Really what you’re doing is using creativity to bypass the part of your brain that is blocked by fear and judgement.

In essence, you’re making it into magical play.
And having fun is excellent motivation!

Are your ready to pivot to your next life adventure?

Then join me at this magical intention setting retreat day…

Saturday, March 23rd from noon-4pm

March is one of the best times to seed new intentions.

The energy of the Spring Equinox- in the the year of the Wood Dragon near the Full Moon in Libra is a one of kind portal for manifestation.

Come play with us:

Wood fired Sauna and Cold Plunge Spring Cleanse
Guided Sound Journey to your Seed of Intention
Creating Sigil art (magical symbol) for your goal
Charging your Spell in an Ostara Abundance Ritual
Snacks,Tea & Surprises along the way!

This is an intimate circle of potent magic!
Only 12 spots are available.

Get your Abundance flowing this year!

See you there!

There will be a Sacred Scream Session on Sunday morning, March17th, at 9 AM, on the beach. We will meet on the end of Laneda, in Manzanita and move towards the water, for ceremony
Please join us, to scream, to cry, to wail, to yell- to breathe and release some of our anger and grief…..within a safe, supportive and loving container. Facilitated by Minister Christy Kay.

Rising Hearts Studio will be open immediately after, for tea and community.

Contact Christy (503) 800-1092, or Christy@cosmichealingnw.com for questions or concerns

SyMPHONY CONCERTS THIS WEEKEND!

Submitted By: sdawagner@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
The North Oregon Coast Symphony continues its 2023-2024 season with two concerts this weekend. Designed to please audience members of all ages, the performances will feature Greg Smith’s Zoo Song. This musical story of a young person’s first visit to the zoo is a wonderful form for introducing the various orchestral instruments, as each animal in the story is represented by a musical “voice.” The narrator will be Deac Guidi, a local professional opera singer who has performed throughout the northwest region. He also teaches Speech Communication at Clatsop Community College.

Continuing the animals theme, the program includes three short pieces from Saint Saëns’ Carnival of the Animals. A solo cello, string bass, and clarinet portray an elegant swan, a lumbering elephant, and a cuckoo calling, all accompanied by pianist Diane Amos.

Other highlights of the concerts include the orchestral work Irlande by Augusta Holmès, the familiar Pomp and Circumstance by Edward Elgar, Julius Fucik’s Entry of the Gladiators, and Elmer Bernstein’s Great Escape March.

The first concert will take place on Saturday, March 16, at St. Catherine Episcopal Church (36335 N. Hwy 101, Nehalem, OR) beginning at 3:00 pm.

The second concert will be on Sunday, March 17, at the Bob Chisholm Community Center (1225 Avenue A, Seaside, OR) beginning at 3:00 pm.

Admission for both concerts will be: $10 Adults, ages 18 and under FREE (children 12 and under with adult supervision).
Tickets will be available at the door only for both concerts.
