Come sit by the river, bring a picnic, and soak in some of that magic summer-turning-to-fall sun while listening to some soul feeding tunes.

Mojo Holler weaves threads from Appalachian
mountain ranges to the Mississippi Delta into a tapestry of indie folk rock.
Mister Baker, like Robert Johnson before him, may have made a deal with the devil — channeling an innate genius through lap steel, slide and dobro.
Missi’s earthy voice brings burning intensity to each song.
And joining the duo for this special concert is their dear friend Randy, rounding out the sound with strings.

If you want to check out Mojo’s sound head over to the website- where I’ve got one of their latest videos up.

You can grab tix there too

This workshop will cover the types of coastal fungi used to produce various colors on wool and silk. 

There will be a hands-on dye session when students will dye silk bandanas and mini skein of yarn to take home.

Each attendee will be provided with a list of dye mushrooms found in our region and a pattern for a fungi-themed knit headband. 

The workshop includes how to set up a home dye studio, prepare fibers for the dye pot, and how to store mushrooms for dying.

Participants may purchase additional silk or wool fiber to dye during the workshop.

Your Guide:

Erica Clark lives on traditional lands of the Clatsop/Chinook people. Her family stewards 20+ acres of forestland on the outskirts of Astoria.

The start of her natural dye journey using wild fungi began on a rainy September evening in Cordova, Alaska in 2010.

She sells hand-dyed goods on the coast and has taught mushroom dye workshops at several fungi festivals and for members of the Oregon Mycological Society since 2021.

Erica coordinates an annual mushroom themed makers market in Astoria on the Winter Solstice.
