Dancing With The Gorge Stars
About The Event
Mid-Columbia Community Concert Association is proud to bring back, by popular demand, the 11th annual Dancing With The Gorge Stars competition. Six local Gorge "stars" will compete for your votes at this mid-winter fundraiser for MCCCA. Like the reality TV dance show, our contestants learn a dance routine prior to show time. But in this show, the competitors are our friends and neighbors from the Gorge area. Paired with a professional dancer from the Utah Ballroom Dance Co., they have one week to learn and perfect their routines before performing on stage before a live audience. Video highlights of the rehearsals are shown during the event to showcase how far each contestant has come in just one week.
An entertaining judging-panel of three locals score each couple after their individual performance. During intermission the audience cast their votes which are combined with the judges scores and tallied to determine who wins the beautiful mirror ball trophy. The second half of the show is a spectacular performance of the Utah Ballroom Dance Co. with a professional showcase featuring a variety of highly choreographed and technical dancing.

Songwriters in the Round
Friday, Dec. 20, Songwriters in the Round, Featuring Richard Tillinghast, Kyle J. Glenn, Shelby Natasha, and Leo Moon, FREE, 6 p.m. Doors / 7 p.m. Show, All Ages
A Richard Tillinghast show involves thoughtful song writing, deft guitar and banjo work, and usually a healthy dose of off-beat humor. "Through the years, he has quietly built a reputation for warm, welcoming shows...his music is a deep, healing well.” (Edge Magazine, SC)
Kyle J. Glenn (he/him) is a singer-songwriter from Portland, Oregon, who has been writing and performing his own songs since 2014. His music blends indie folk, folk rock, alt-country, and singer-songwriter traditions, and his latest record, *Everywhere is Close to Somewhere Else*, reflects a decade-long journey to find "home." Inspired by artists like Gillian Welch, John Prine, and Big Thief, Kyle's story-driven songs have earned him features on Kink FM 102's Homegrown Discovery and performances at venues across the U.S., Spain, and Portugal. After returning to Portland in 2023, Kyle is assembling a band to bring his new album to life.
Shelby Natasha is a songwriter and music producer in Seattle, Washington. Heavily influenced by her upbringing living between China and the Pacific Northwest, her music is a blend of alt-rnb and Chinese folk music. Her ghost-like vocals are performed alongside the traditional Chinese instrument, Guzheng, layered on top lofi beats.
Leo Moon is the solo incarnation of singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Brian Adrian Koch. California born and Oregon raised, Brian has been active in the Portland music scene since arriving in 2000. He is a current and founding member of indie rock band Blitzen Trapper (2000-present) and psychedelic folk duo Dead Lee (2018-2023) Appearing now as a solo acoustic performer, his minimal and haunting tunes are stripped down paeans to the glorious absurdities of life; harmonica spattered psalms to the void.

Saturday, Dec. 28, Haley Johnsen Band, Genre bending Alt Pop and Americana with soaring vocals, $15 Advance // $18 Day Of Show, 6 p.m. Doors / 7 p.m. Show, All Ages
Haley Johnsen, a musical maverick from Portland, Oregon, is a genre bending artist with a career path that is uniquely her own. Influenced by iconic voices like Brandi Carlile and Bonnie Raitt, Haley's vocals soar with soul in the worlds of Alt Pop and Americana.
Delving into the depths of self-doubt, the wistful beauty of nostalgia, and the resilience required to weather life's storms, Haley's songs showcase genuine songwriting prowess. Haley’s aspiration is clear: "My music is deeply personal. I can only hope that it inspires people to overcome challenges, to embrace hope, and to believe in their authentic selves."
Haley's artistic journey took flight when she reached the top 24 on American Idol Season 11 in 2012. Returning home, she crafted around 200 songs in her parents' backyard shed over three years, culminating in her debut EP, Through the Blue, in 2015. Her second EP, When You Lit The Sky, followed in 2017, alongside singles, national tours, and formative experiences with her hometown band.
