ARTIST RECEPTION THIS SATURDAY @ NCRD

Submitted By: lortiz@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
Join Captain Thron Riggs, retired Columbia River Bar Pilot, at a reception for his show “Wildscapes” at the NCRD Gallery, 36155 9th Street in Nehalem, on Saturday, July 12 from 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. Riggs, who has a deep affinity for the Oregon Coast, and particularly the Nehalem Bay area, will be showing 40 new paintings—many showcasing this rugged landscape.
North County Recreation District (NCRD) is hosting the show for Captain Riggs who has generously offered 80% of the proceeds from the show to support the vital role NCRD plays in the health and wellness of the Nehalem Bay area community.
Since retiring from his active, unique standing as one of 14 bar pilots on the Columbia River bar, Captain Riggs continues to enjoy the bounty of life on the north Oregon Coast as an avid surfer, painter, musician (viola), radio host and maritime scholar. He began his career on the sea on merchant ships after graduation from high school and spent 27 years on ships, the last seven as Master. He became a Columbia River Bar Pilot in 1993.
Plan to attend the reception to meet Capt. Riggs on July 12 to meet Capt. Riggs—ever the quintessential sea captain—where he is always standing ready to deliver sea stories or the inside scoop on what it is really like to pilot a giant ship through the world’s most dangerous bar.
“Wildscapes” will be up the entire month of July and is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. or weekends by appointment. Call 503-368-3203.

Two Drifters – Kathryn Claire & Margot Merah

Two Drifters – Kathryn Claire & Margot Merah
A Cross-Continental Collaboration from the heart
July 18th | 7:30pm (doors at 7pm) | $20
White Clover Grange – Nehalem, OR

In a world where folk music so often evokes roots and place, Two Drifters is a rare project that proves home can be a feeling, not a location. This cross-cultural, cross-continental collaboration between Portland-based Kathryn Claire and Amsterdam’s Margot Merah is as unexpected as it is organic. Their story begins, fittingly, in a pub in Amsterdam—one of those magical spots where tunes and fate converge. From that first meeting in 2013, the musical bond was immediate, and it has since blossomed into a heartfelt collaboration that spans oceans and traditions.

Their latest album, Come Close, Come In, is a warm invitation to listeners to do just that—to lean in and feel the richness of their original songwriting, the depth of their musicality, and the rare magic of two voices entwined in breathtaking harmony. The record blends the traditional with the new, the old-world with the Pacific Northwest, creating something deeply connective and refreshingly authentic.

Kathryn Claire’s violin playing rooted in her classical and traditional music background along with her poetic lyricism merge seamlessly with Merah’s storytelling sensibility and rhythmic guitar playing. Whether playing fiddle, ukulele, bodhrán, or simply letting their voices tell their stories, these multi-instrumentalists craft songs that are honest and tender. There’s strength in their subtlety, and a shared intuition that can only come from a love of the craft and of each other’s artistry.

Having toured across the US, Europe, and Japan, Two Drifters are proof that music really can bridge any distance. Their partnership is a reminder that sometimes, drifting leads you exactly where you’re meant to be.

Censorship in Manzanita?

Submitted By: barbaraandchuck@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
Here’s a story from the Tillamook County Pioneer that describes how an entry in the Fourth of July parade of was deemed too political. The entry–people dressed as the Statue of Liberty, one with a sash that said “Protect the Constitution” and one with the word “Choice” on the crown.

Have we truly come to this? We were supposed to be celebrating our Independence. This censorship is not that. My heart is even heavier as the consequences of the destruction of our American ideals comes to our community.
