Will Stenberg is a writer and musician who lives south of Portland in a cabin on the Willamette River with his dog and turtle. He usually performs with cellist Susan Reilly, but on this night he will be performing with a full band. His literate, poetic songs, steeped in traditional folk music, have been compared to John Prine and Kris Kristofferson.
Emily Love and the Highliners are a rambunctious country band from Portland, Oregon. They play an irreverent take on traditional honky-tonk. Emily Love's original songs are literate and witty without sacrificing a melody you can dance (or cry) to. Emily Love has solo original recordings available on bandcamp and the Highliners will be recording and releasing a full length record in 2024.
