Saturday....Joni Harms... Oregon's reigning Western & Country Star returns for a great show, solo, at Cartwright's Music and repair shop... For those of you who know Joni, you already  know she's got the golden voice that we all wish we had, for those of who do not, let me say that you don't want to miss this show... Joni, who is a Sony special artists recording star, only comes our way once in awhile. She may bring Jason Barlow, her favorite fiddler/guitar with her so get your tickets early as she is always a sell out and seating is limited to 50 persons... She performs all original songs that have been are being played all over the world on the radio and in CD players... Beautiful, talented and extremely entertaining, Joni Harms.. $15 per person, children under 12 admitted free when accompanied by paying parents or guardians.

Bluegrass Jam and the last one of the season as we wrap up our 2007-2008 jam season.... Again, we will feature our ever popular slow jam for beginners and those who can't play up to speed from 4 PM to 5 PM. The full speed jams begins at 5 PM and runs till 8 PM... If the weather is good, we'll do some jams outside by the mill stream... Come and be a part of our jam series and help us celebrate the last one of the season... Coffee is always on and sometimes we have pretty darned good munchies too... It's free and free is a good price.. 
May 17
Jeff Smith-Dale Atkins and friends..... Now these super pickers have a wide circle of friends so it will be more than interesting to see who shows up to pick with these guys... Jeff Smith played mandolin with Sam Hill for many years and picked with Dale when he played with Leah Larson.. Dale has played with Into the Blue, Kate McKenzie, Northern Lights and is currently doing some touring with Dan Crary... This will be a wonderful evening of great bluegrass and New Acoustic music... Seating is limited to 50 and we usually sell out on our house concerts, so don't delay, this will end our 2007-2008 concert season with a bang... $14 per person, children under 12 admitted free accompanied with paid adults or parents...
