TEZETA BAND

Tezeta Band is an eight-piece ensemble that plays nostalgic Ethiopian influenced soul music. While rooting their sound in Ethio-Jazz, Tezeta Band (Pronounced Tih-Zeh-Tah Band) has been playing old-school African grooves across dance floors and festivals to popular acclaim since 2008

Tezeta Band was formed in Portland, OR by former members of legendary 90s Hip-Hop band, Five Fingers of Funk. After the Fingers dissolved in the early 2000s, members Ted Hille and Tim Cook discovered a cassette of music from the French compilation, Ethiopiques and decided to start a new group with their former bandmates. The band, which started as a tribute to Golden age Ethiopian soul music, has evolved to now play an inspired mix of both classic and original Ethio-Jazz compositions.

One man band master of musical imagination doomfolk

Sunday, Nov, 8

$18 Advance // $25 Day of // 5 p.m. Doors / 6 p.m. Show // All Ages

THE SUITCASE JUNKET

The Suitcase Junket -- the intriguing songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Matt Lorenz -- weds the sensibilities of early blues and rock ‘n’ roll, the improvisational spirit of jazz, and his love of Tom Waits to meticulous, cultured songcraft. Dubbed a “master of musical imagination” by NPR’s World Café Live and “astonishing” by WBUR Boston, Lorenz’s weathered, howl-flecked voice was described by Rochester City Newspaper as “a cross between Hound Dog Taylor and a Tuvan throat singer who has swallowed a bird.” Lorenz has earned snowballing acclaim for his achingly poetic dark folk. A solitary artist with an organic yet ornate vision, his seventh album To Go On is his most acutely profound yet. Created in the wake of losing his sister, singer-songwriter Kate Lorenz, it’s a tender, beautiful, and arrestingly moving record; an internal dialogue and conversation with the departed, enormously resonant to anyone who ever loved anyone.

BEN LARSEN

For over a decade Larsen has been performing up and down the west coast and nationally as a solo artist. He recently returned home to the Pacific Northwest after spending a year and half in New York City, writing and producing his third studio record Clarity, which released fall of 2024. When Ben is not playing or producing music you can find him at the farmers markets in the Columbia River Gorge.
