ABOUT THIS SHOW
The return of “…the lovechild of John Prine and Mitch Hedberg with a vagabond troubadour edge." - the stranger
JOHN CRAIGIE
Much like community, music nourishes us mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It also invites us to come together under the same roof and in a shared moment. In similar fashion, John Craigie rallies a closeness around music anchored by his expressive and stirring songcraft, emotionally charged vocals, lively soundscapes, and uncontainable spirit. The Portland, OR-based singer, songwriter, and producer invites everyone into this space on his 2024 full-length album, Pagan Church. Following tens of millions of streams, sold out shows everywhere, and praise from Rolling Stone and more, he continues to captivate.
“The music is always evolving and devolving with each new record,” he observes. “With my last album Mermaid Salt, I really wanted to explore the sound of isolation and solitude as everyone was heading inside. With this record, I wanted to record the sound of everyone coming back out.”

Tré Burt
Tré Burt's latest album, Traffic Fiction, is a loving tribute to his late grandfather Tommy Burt. Inspired by the music they'd drive around and listen to, the record is a big swing into the sounds of Motown. It's quite a departure from the Sacramento-based singer-songwriter.
Burt wrote most of Traffic Fiction from the wilderness of Alberta, Canada. Working by himself in the middle of nowhere and armed with nothing but blank notebooks, Burt opted for a zen approach to generate ideas.
"So if an idea fails to come to you in a moment, the best thing you can do is just get into the Buddhist mindset of just embracing the silence," he says.
