Internationally acclaimed roots bluegrass group Kathy Boyd and Phoenix Rising will be appearing as the main entertainment at the Cascade Locks Sternwheeler Days Celebration on Saturday, June 27.
The band will be performing its original music, which can be heard throughout the United States and in such places as Australia, Belgium, France, Canada, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands and throughout the United States; you can hear this music locally on KBOO and KINK radio.
The bands latest recording, "stories never told" features 15 original songs written by the various band members and features the music of 2008 Roots Music Association Bluegrass Songwriter of the Year Dennis Nelson.
Based in Tualatin, this group is all about the stories, and stories are what you get with their original material, culled from their individual and collective observations of life. Whether it's the high mournful old-country sound of Dennis Nelson, the storytelling baritone of Tom Tower, the vocal and instrumental virtuosity of Tim Crosby or the high energy sincerity of Kathy Boyd herself, this band offers something for everyone.
Music begins at noon and will provide an upbeat background for the various games, exhibits and demonstrations taking place throughout the afternoon.
