ilk Lodge Anniversary feat. Jeffery Silverstein's Cosmic Country

Jeffrey is a Portland-based singer, songwriter, and guitarist who creates music that brews together cosmic Americana, sun-soaked country-funk grooves, kosmische barroom explorations, and pastoral folk ballads into a singular, laidback, welcoming sound.

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.

Sam Jayne Forever Listening Party
On April 20, our friends at L.G. Records are releasing “Sam Jayne Forever,” which contains selected pieces of Sam’s recorded history, a lot of home tapes along with curious outtakes and cover songs. By their estimation, the record is “Hilarious, bittersweet, incredible, heart-tugging,” and we can’t imagine ever arguing with that… Sam, who tragically passed away in 2020, was “a specific breed of classic songwriter: strong-willed, surefooted and unstoppable.” L.G. Records sent us some copies of this brilliant new record, so we’re going to play it and other jams from Sam’s extensive catalog with his bands Lync and Love as Laughter. We’ll also have a few copies available for purchase. And maybe we’ll get AJ to tell some Sam tour stories. And drink some Love as Lager! And throw LAL stickers at people (kindly, of course)! Let’s all drink to Sam.
