Halloween with Family Worship Center

Family Worship Center specializes in a strain of redemptive, 1970s-styled rock n’ roll that recalls the Rolling Stones, Leon Russell, The Band, and Delaney & Bonnie. The band formed in 2017 in Nashville, Tennessee founded by prophetic visionary, singer-songwriter and keyboardist Krissberg, but it has since relocated to Portland, Oregon. In 2020, Family Worship Center released the EP Sunday A.M. (2020) recorded by Grammy-winning producer Eddie Spear (Rival Sons, Blackberry Smoke, Lukas Nelson), and featuring musicians associated/who have played with The Band, Deer Tick, Ringo Starr, James Brown, Keith Richards, and Foxygen, among others. The Family’s latest offering—released September 2023—Kicked Out Of The Garden, features a core band of devoted musicians, and was produced by Portland go-to producer Cameron Spies (Spoon Benders, Shivas) who specializes in what he calls “mid-fi.” Kicked Out Of The Garden was tracked in Portland with additional recording done in Philadelphia and Ukraine.  Kicked Out Of The Garden topped the NACC 200 college radio charts for 8+ weeks, was featured on the nationally syndicated NPR program Live Wire Radio, landed on multiple 2023 “Best Of” lists, and has gained hundreds of thousands listeners worldwide.

Mason’s Children
Oct

Mason’s Children

Mason’s Children is unlike your average Grateful Dead tribute. This group of youngsters brings to the stage more than just recreations of our favorite Dead tunes… they embody the authentic 1960’s flower child vibration!

Members met on the Golden Road, travelling the Earth and following their dreams. The band first began learning the ropes of the music at Dead and Co / Bob Weir shows, and gained a following by playing at shakedown lots before and after each show.

They are also known for their impromptu Haight Street shows, where they set up plugged in on the corner of Haight and Ashbury playing multiple sets of music, revitalizing Haight of its Summer of Love era.

They are versed in all eras of The Grateful Dead, but currently align more with the 1960’s and 70’s chapter.

Mason’s Children is learning from the Grateful Dead and strongly believe the music will never stop. They are carrying on the legacy of the Dead as well as leaving their own taste of life with original songs and other musical numbers that illuminate the soul.

Mason’s Children has a zest and passion for The Grateful Dead that shines through their playing.

Low Hums & Morning Bat

Low Hums hail from Seattle Wa, but could have easily been born in the mid 60’s in a Laurel Canyon garage. Their influences draw from 60’s psychedelia, garage bands, acid rock, German Cosmic Music, and AM pop. Danceable, fun and not too serious.

Small Paul

Small Paul

Sunshine and storm clouds converge at the core of Seattle’s harmony-heavy, Folky Rock and Roll band Small Paul.

Born in and raised Seattleite Kevin Murphy (leader of The Moondoggies) shares drumming and guitar duties with California’s born and raised Chris King (leader of the Chris King & The Gutterballs). Chris brings bandmate and collaborator Malcolm Roberts into the fold on bass guitar and harmony and Seth McDonald to fill it out on keyboard and harmony (member of hip-hop band All Star Opera). These different perspectives all pulled together create the vibe that is Small Paul.

Musically, Small Paul is a 4 headed collaborative effort that began fortuitously during the pandemic as a fusion of 4 musicians living in the same pod. While originally bonding over the shared love of Wings, NRBQ sounding records and singing harmony together late into the night, Small Paul became an outlet and excuse to reckon and engage with each individual's own past and present struggles and to use music as an outlet to create light out of dark days.
