2024-09-22 19:00 - 21:00 | KALA, 1017 Marine Dr., Astoria, Oregon, 97103, United States
KALA welcomes Portland-based ambient-classical artist Ann Annie. The project of Eli Goldberg, their stage moniker Ann Annie began as a way for the composer to explore the world of modular synths and ambient music. As the project grew and took form, they slowly introduced various instruments into their compositions – most notably in their new release, The Wind, (June 2024).
The new sound combines aspects of classical orchestra with string and horn instruments, old country guitar twang and the original electronic modulation to form something wholly new. Ann Annie is on a Northwest tour as a trio; Eli Goldberg on piano and modular synth, Blu Midyett on saxophone and Kate Koller on cello, performing dreamy, sometimes improvisational chamber music mixed with atmospheric synth soundscapes.
With special guest singer-songwriter Amos Heart. Members of the Annie Band contribute on Heart’s new release coming out this fall.

Positioned on the cusp of unveiling her upcoming post-pandemic double record, Mae embarked on a mission to address the stark gender disparity for music producers—a mere 4% representation by women.

True Life Trio PNW Album Release Tour
2024-10-20 19:00 - 21:00 | KALA, 1017 Marine Dr., Astoria, Oregon, 97103, United States
True Life Trio’s music is all about harmony. The fiery voices of these three women spin and interweave, traveling from Ukrainian village tunes, to Greek polyphony to Louisiana two-steps. Bulgaria to the Bayou. On paper, it’s an unlikely combination but in person, it feels just right.
True Life Trio’s singing exudes untamed joy. They met in Kitka Women’s Vocal Ensemble and soon found their affinity extended beyond Balkan music to the far reaches of Europe and America. Their music is an elixir of ancient traditional songs made new, tasty choral arrangements and inspired original compositions. They have been enchanting audiences in their San Francisco Bay Area home and all across the West for more than a decade with their finely-honed, heart-centered, “concert hall meets front porch” performances.
Their new release “At My Window” is a harmony-driven potpourri of uniquely arranged folk songs, ballads and dance tunes. Brimming with gutsy and colorful vocals, the album is a swirling journey through the lush musical landscapes of Ukraine, Ireland, Bulgaria, Italy, Albania, Sweden, Norway, Greece and America.

A Whirling Dervish of the Cello
One of the most unique, talented and beloved New Orleans artists, cellist Helen Gillet is known for her eclectic palette, which includes avant-garde jazz, French chansons, funk, alternative rock … even the bohemian flair of the Velvet Underground.
Composer, singer-songwriter (Belgian French & English) and looping artist, Gillet’s career has won her awards of Offbeat Best of the Beat, Gambit Big Easy Awards, featured artist at the New Orleans Jazz Museum and has been nominated three times, most recently in 2023, as a rising star in Downbeat Magazine’s Critics Poll.
Over the years, working in New Orleans with musicians of all stripes, from avant-garde jazz and classical to pop and funk, Gillet has developed a singular polyglot style. Gillet’s solo performance is known for its enigmatic quality as she fabricates each song with innovative use of the cello and true mastery of live looping technology. The core of her work is solo performance with live looping, layering cello parts and vocal lines. Rhythmic figures emerge with bowed or plucked ostinatos or a variety of rubbing and slapping on the body of the cello, then enhanced with melodies played or sung in her haunting alto.

Singer Songwriter Deb Montgomery
2025-01-17 19:30 - 21:00 | KALA, 1017 Marine Dr., Astoria, Oregon, 97103, United States
Now residing on the North Coast of Oregon, Deb Montgomery has grown accustomed to dwelling in life’s in-between spaces: her art, much like her life, welds together what the world likes to separate. Her lyrics are spools of vulnerability and grit, her voice is an unwavering paradox of grief and joy, and her presence is a palpable strength in weakness.
Over the course of twenty years and four records, some film credits, and the pleasure of sharing stages with a plethora of amazing musicians, Montgomery has solidified her ability to write and play with unreserved passion. Fluent in the language of mourning and loss, lament and prayer, raging seas and the ache at the heart of things, Montgomery’s music is a river of empathy, coaxing us towards self-reflection and healing.
Deb will be in duo with Seattle cellist Sydney Metcalf.

Oregon poet, novelist, gardener Charles Goodrich and local fisherpoets gather Friday, March 21 at KALA to share original poetry and song in honor of Clem Starck who died at spring equinox in 2024. Clem’s poetry – lean, honest, vocational – inspired the first FisherPoets Gathering years ago and Clem became a regular, cherished participant. Through his poetry, Clem, too, will join us.
Fisherpoets Geno Leech, Jon Broderick, Jay Speakman and Moe Bowstern who each spent many agreeable hours themselves at Clem’s table join Charles to read – or sometimes sing – their own work and Clem’s.
Both Clem and Charles, longtime friends from the rural Willamette Valley, have received Oregon literary awards, published a number of poetry collections, contributed to poetry journals, encouraged writers and been read aloud by Garrison Keillor on the Writer’s Almanac (though Clem didn’t care for Keillor’s version of A Brief Lecture on Door Closers). Probably no one passed more pleasant evenings than Charles at Clem’s farmhouse kitchen table. DRAWING BY ROSHEN KOSHEY

The Horsenecks
2025-11-07 19:30 - 21:30 | KALA, 1017 Marine Dr., Astoria, Oregon, 97103, United States
The Horsenecks play hard-hitting and heartfelt Old Time, classic Bluegrass and original roots music. Their sound is centered around the pairing of the signature rhythmic Appalachian fiddle style of Oregonian Gabrielle Macrae and the driving yet subtle banjo playing of Liverpudlian Barry Southern.
Gabrielle’s playing style is the result of being raised in the Old Time music hotbed of Portland, OR and being exposed to the fiddle traditions of the Southeast through years of traveling to festivals and learning from some of the greatest players in the genre. Her love of traditional music brought her to North Carolina as a teenager where she fully immersed herself in the music of the region and became a sought-after clawhammer banjo player after releasing an album with the Macrae Sisters.
Barry’s banjo playing ranges from thrilling and high-octane to moody and captivating, and his versatility shines whether playing clawhammer or driving three-finger banjo. Also an accomplished guitarist, adept in many styles of playing he has been consistently active in the UK Old Time and Bluegrass scene for the last decade playing with multiple groups.

Everyone knows “A Christmas Carol”. We meet the flinty old businessman, Ebenezer Scrooge, who receives – though he hardly welcomes – visits from four Ghosts, starting with his late partner, Jacob Marley. By the end of one eventful night, Scrooge has discovered the meaning of Christmas – and been transformed.
But how did Jacob Marley get permission to visit Scrooge, in the first place? Not exactly standard operating procedure in the Afterlife!
“Jacob Marley’s Last Chance” supplies an answer. A plan is hatched in the offices of St. Peter, just a few steps from the Pearly Gates. In addition to St. Peter, the plan involves his assistant, Angel Fan, and three theatrical angels – Robert Armin and Will Kempe (of the original Globe company) and Mrs. Sarah Siddons (perhaps the most famous Lady Macbeth of all time).
By the end of a hectic, improvised, and more than occasionally comic evening, more than one crusty old miser has seen things in a new light.
