SUMMARY:First Friday in the Alley
DESCRIPTION:Join us for food and live music First Friday May 1st.\n5-7 pm Trebled Souls.  Local favorites!! Trebled Souls features six super talented musicians who sing\, play bass\, guitar\, percussion\, keyboard\, trumpet\, and harmonica. They play an eclectic mix of jazzy\, soulful\, and have fun putting their own twist on all the varied music we love: R&B tunes\, American Songbook classics\, rock’n’roll\, pop sensations\, country music\, Latin-American ballads\, international tunes\, and some original compositions.\n7-8 pm Ankata.  Local drum band performing traditional and contemporary music.\n8 pm Eek Sallad.  Back by popular demand! They rocked the alley last year and we’re happy they’re coming back. With roots in Blues\, Grunge\, Rock\, Americana\, and Folk\, Eel Sallad’s sound has been called ‘Pacific Northwest Grunge Grass’- a dynamic fusion of raw energy and heartfelt lyrics.  Their music spans everything from sultry ballads to audacious anthems\, delivered with a compelling stage presence that keeps audiences dancing from start to finish.  \nThe Nature Shop will be closing at 8\, but music will continue after closing hours.

SUMMARY:Oregon Wildflower Poetry Reading by Pepper Trail
DESCRIPTION:Awarding-winning poet and photographer Pepper Trail will read selections from his new collection Wild/Flower: Poems of the Oregon Flora\, illustrated with his photographs of Oregon’s beautiful wildflowers. “In this rewarding collection\, the ecopoet Pepper Trail honors Oregon plant life with one finely-crafted poem after another\, praising the very existence of a large\, varied flora that includes mugwort and larkspur and oak\, trillium\, and ponderosa and beargrass. Even non-native weeds garner tribute from him\, as he recognizes that thse are the plants intrepid enough to “carry life on/Into the warming years\, into the melting north? And back into the burning forests.” When this naturalist turns his poetic attention to the Oregon flora\, we are the beneficiaries: “our vision is held/quiet and still\, tranquilized by beauty.” Paulann Petersen\, Oregon Poet Laureate Emerita
