Cameron Landers Trio, Strange & The Familiars, Paper Gates

Cameron Landers Trio is a new breed of solo project, fusing Afrobeat, lowfi and jazz. Cameron weaves a story that connects the songs throughout the set, setting the stage for a journey of the senses. Sweet beats and intricate guitar are what you can expect when you see the Trio. Strange & the Familiars bring you songs and stories from beyond the veil, where more than monsters lurk in the shadows. Where black cats prowl, amnesiac goldfish reckon, and giant spiders weave songs of the past. Paper Gates: If you've heard woodwinds on a song by a Portland band in the last ten years, chances are good it was andy rayborn. While best known for his work with Night Heron and Kulululu, andy also performs alone as Paper Gates. Paper Gates features dark and powerful classically-influenced layers of bass clarinet and electronics designed to rattle both emotions and glassware. The project was recently featured at the International Clarinet Association's inaugural Low Clarinet Festival.
