The Natural History of the American West 2/22/2025 9:30 AM - 3/15/2025 12:00 Noon

Mon, 13 Jan 2025 12:17:54 GMT

Naturalists, explorers, and scientists have a unique understanding and appreciation for the natural history of the American West. This course is a journey through this complex region, drawing on geography, geology, evolution, and ecology. We explore the history and inter-relationships of the physical landscape and the biological organisms that inhabit this unique area. While the course emphasizes broad principles, the examples given will be drawn from the Western landscape and the plants and animals that dwell there. This educational series enables students to appreciate the West better through follow-up field trips, vacations, and general sightseeing. However, it is crucial to acknowledge humans' significant impact on this region, with species extinctions, habitat loss, and climate change becoming increasingly prevalent. To that end, class participants may be inclined to work towards conserving these precious natural resources.

vocalist/musician band leader, event planner, wife, mother, and friend Shelley James
Shelley grew up in a small family who performed music together throughout her youth. Her father was a music major and semenary graduate who had a gift for arranging 4 part harmonies. So Shelley’s ear developed being the youngest singing Alto, her big brother sang tenor, Mom had Soprano, and Daddy sang the bass. They toured Western Canada for several years before she went off to college. She started a band with a flautist and jazz guitar player who performed jazz and pop much to the delight of the following they grew in the northwest. They recorded a CD, and soon wanted to add bass and drums. This is how Shelley met Callan her bass player husband of 25 years. They went on to collaborate, write and record and perform together. Shelley has been a trusted worship leader in her home church, and in numerous churches around the area. She became known for being able to bless the house when needed as a help if the team is on vacation or transition. She started her band Shelley James m u s i c b o x in 1997 which is still together as a 6 piece smooth 80s pop/rock outfit. She is also a founding member and manager of Satin Love Orchestra for 22 years. Shelley and Cal spend a few years in LA where they collaborated with musicians Sheila E., Terron Brooks, Jonathan Butler and others. They continue to perform, write and record in Lane County, or can be seen on the beaches of O’Ahu where they spend as much time as possible too. They enjoy their daughter Eva, and 4 cats as well as their family and friends to the fullest.

Parking:

We have room for approximately 20 cars in our lot (parallel to the road & in front of our container / dock is fine). Additional parking: there is a very large parking lot across the street. A few thoughts regarding that parking lot: I circled the “ideal” area, though there aren’t any rules on that parking lot. Also, our area of w.11th can be a bit dangerous, we encourage everyone to use the crosswalk / traffic signals and be cautious even after using those.

Michael Marcagi 3/15/2025 8:00 PM - 3/15/2025 11:00 PM

Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:54:40 GMT

On Saturday, March 15th the Community Center for the Performing Arts proudly welcomes Michael Marcagi to the WOW Hall.

Cincinnati singer-songwriter Michael Marcagi’s ascent is a homegrown success story. With a career built largely through grassroots social media support, the folk-rock singer has demonstrated that listeners are hungry for earnest storytelling rooted in age-old American musical traditions. Marcagi announced himself with “The Other Side,” a depiction of the claustrophobia of small-town life, but it was his cinematic tribute to taking a leap of faith— “Scared to Start” —that pushed his TikTok view counts into the millions. In a few short weeks, he had built a legion of eager fans and secured a record deal with just two songs to his name.

His debut Warner Records EP, American Romance, expands on that promise, highlighting the timeless sound and engaging sense of emotional truth that has made Marcagi’s music so immediately compelling. Though he grew up playing and singing in rock bands, Marcagi always struggled to envision himself as a solo artist. However, his persistent desire to record some of his sparer acoustic songs—ones he rarely dared to perform in public—eventually inspired him to try his luck. Dipping into his savings, he trekked to upstate New York, decamping to a studio outside of Woodstock to work with producer David Baron (Lana Del Rey, The Lumineers, Shania Twain).

The two assembled a team of crack musicians to bolster Marcagi’s intimate and unvarnished guitar and vocal performances, employing folk and bluegrass instrumentation, cavernous rock drums, and luxuriant vocal harmonies. All of the songs Marcagi recorded—including the five on American Romance—mix authentic storytelling with sadness, frustration, and ennui. Avoiding confessional outpourings, he turns his experiences growing up in the Midwest into vignettes exploring the cracks in human relationships. By his own account, coming from a largely conservative and religious town meant that a tightly prescribed set of family values were passed onto him. The EP’s title track explores this directly, sketching scenes from an archetypal failed marriage of teen sweethearts.

“There are all these familial norms you have to fall into,” Marcagi explains. “I just watched a lot of my friends fall into that trap of getting married really young and then watching it falling apart before they are even thirty.” Even at his most unsparing, Marcagi is careful not to pass judgment on the decisions of the characters in his songs. If the songs on American Romance carry any message, it is that there is no “right way” to get through life, and that we learn something we can use from every relationship. This message comes through pointedly “In the Light,” which Marcagi claims he connects with more than any other song he’s written. The defiant stomp-along anthem is carried by an infectious mandolin and piano motif and disarmingly direct lyrics: “So fuck all you bought, it ain’t what you got/And be who you need and not what you’re taught/You know from all this pain you cannot hide/And stand there in the light.”

Marcagi never undermines his listeners or takes them for granted. “Audiences are usually smarter than the musicians they are listening to,” he says. For him, there’s plenty of evidence that modern listeners of all generations understand and connect with specificity and sophistication in songwriting. This is part of why he aspires to remain as open and approachable as possible—in both his music and his public persona. If what has happened in his career during the past year is any indication, he may be on to something.

“I want people to feel like they know me,” Marcagi says. “I’ve never really connected to that mysterious rock band thing—four blurry faces in a field where you don’t know who the guys are. I don’t want to hide."

Chair Yoga for Writers 3/16/2025 3:00 PM - 3/16/2025 4:00 PM

Wed, 05 Feb 2025 14:35:52 GMT

Learn to ease tension and build a mindful writing practice in this gentle, inclusive class with Jen Hernandez.

Sitting for long (or even not-so-long) stretches at a time while you’re writing can leave you sore, stiff, and frustrated. This one-hour, in-person chair yoga class will help you relieve tension, improve your posture, and reconnect with your body–so you can keep creating comfortably. You’ll learn small practices you can do to take care of your body while sitting and writing, ease some physical discomfort, and build awareness and mindfulness.

What this class can help with:
-A sore neck, stiff shoulders, pained back
-Tension, a tight belly, stiff hands and wrists
-Headaches, blurry eyes, tired eyes
-Tiredness, anger, and frustration from not being able to sit longer
-Finding mindful movement that works while you work

What you’ve probably tried:
You’ve tried a new chair–and adjusted it. Or different sitting positions, sitting somewhere else, or even standing or lying down to write. Maybe you’ve tried stretching at your desk, but your body still feels tight, achy, or exhausted.

None of these address the root of the problem: lack of mindful movement while you work.

What’s chair yoga?
Chair yoga is a physically-inclusive asana practice that supports you in building mindfulness and groundedness in the capabilities of your own body. It’s not a show-off class with acrobatic poses but, rather, a gentle time to reflect and connect. You’ll focus on connecting to what your body needs and working with your body’s abilities in each moment, normalizing the need for adjustment, change, and challenge.

Chair yoga is a connected, breath-centered practice that can be done from the chair you already have. You’ll learn a mindfulness routine that can become part of your creative work and allow you to continue working with your body rather than fighting it.

Is this class for you?
This class is ideal for writers, artists, and anyone who spends time sitting for creative work. No prior yoga experience is required. The class is physically inclusive, all bodies are welcomed and celebrated for the amazing things they can do.

What you’ll learn
-A set of simple, gentle chair-based yoga poses to relieve stiffness and tension while you work (no special tools or equipment needed)
-Breathwork and mindfulness practices you can use anytime
-A new perspective on your connection to your body and your working environment

What to expect in class
-Seated, breath-centered yoga (with floor options for those who prefer)
-Slow, gentle, adaptable movement focusing on breath connection and body awareness
-Several options for each pose, allowing you to notice what your body needs
-Gentle self-massage
-Connecting to your creative practice
-A supportive, no-pressure environment where all bodies are celebrated
-No hands-on adjustments—body autonomy is respected and your poses won’t be corrected (unless you might injure yours)

This isn’t a high-energy, acrobatic yoga class. It’s a gentle, supportive space to reconnect with your body and make writing more comfortable.

Damien Jurado performing “Saint Bartlett” 3/19/2025 8:00 PM - 3/19/2025

Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:55:03 GMT

Get ready for a night of intimate, soul-stirring music as Damien Jurado takes the stage for a very special performance! On March 19th at WOW Hall, he’ll be performing his acclaimed album Saint Bartlett in its entirety.

This is a rare opportunity to hear the beloved 2010 album—known for its haunting, atmospheric sound and poetic storytelling—played front to back, live. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to Damien’s world, this will be a show you won’t forget.

“Play on, there’s no such thing as better days,” Damien Jurado sings on “Roger,” the sweeping wash of a song that opens Reggae Film Star, his 18th full length album and second release from Jurado’s own Maraqopa Records label. But as he enters his 25th year as a recording artist, it’s clear these are, at the least, very good days for Jurado on the creative front. In these 12 songs, which evoke half-recalled dreams and overheard conversations, the cosmic rushes headlong into the autobiographical and specific moments on the clock fade from past to future to scenes set only in the eternal now.

Playing out like a backlot documentary filmed on the location of an unnamed TV or film set—maybe a sitcom taping, or perhaps it’s a low budget science fiction B-movie, or could it be a talk show?—the album is populated by performers awaiting call times, camera operators praying for their shot, and studio audiences rapt with anticipation. The stars here eschew glitz and glamor. Instead, they wander grocery stores and parking lots in the verdant Pacific Northwest and the desert Southwest, looking for payphones and a sense of purpose.

Produced by Jurado with multi-instrumentalist Josh Gordon and recording engineer Alex Bush at Sonikwire studio in Irvine,CA, Jurado’s home away from home and musical headquarters, the record’s compositions are among the most musically rich in his vast discography, encompassing romantic AM gold, ‘60s psychedelia, driving rock & roll, Latin shuffles, and left of the dial ambiance. Strings swell, melodic bass bubbles, and piano sparkles, undergirding Jurado’s unmistakable voice, at once intimately present and ghostly, grounded in the here and now but capable, at any moment, of drifting off into the divinatory. Following threads established by 2021’s The Monster Who Hated Pennsylvania, the album sees Jurado embracing his auteur era, penning vignettes that arrive with little fanfare and depart quicker than you might suspect, only to linger long after they wrap.

Seeking a skeleton key to decipher the action is beside the point—Jurado’s songs are worlds meant to be lived in, not picked apart—but on the beatific single “What Happened To The Class Of ‘65?” the singer imagines himself as both the viewer and the viewed, the eye behind the camera and its subject. This emotional and spiritual transference animates Reggae Film
Star. Like a masterful director, Jurado offers motivation to the listener, staring unblinkingly from the mise-en-scène in your mind. “Look into the camera,” he commands on “The Day Of The Robot,” “One more time with anger/And sadness/I believe you.”

A quarter-century in, Jurado remains gripped by his visions and driven by an unmatched creative drive. Reggae Film Star is one of Damien Jurado’s finest works to date, a stunning new feature from one of indie rock’s most cinematic figures. Here on this sound stage, you are the camera, you are the scene, you are the setting, and you are the viewer. Please try not to blink.

The Merry Pranksters, led by author Ken Kesey, were a countercultural collective in the 1960s whose vibrant, free-spirited ethos helped define an era of social and artistic revolution. Known for their cross-country journey in the brightly painted bus Furthur and their legendary Acid Tests—psychedelic parties blending live music, experimental visuals, and LSD—they played a pivotal role in shaping the psychedelic music scene. These gatherings provided a platform for bands like the Grateful Dead to develop their signature sound, blending rock, folk, and improvisational jazz into a transformative live experience. Beyond music, the Pranksters embodied a cultural shift towards individuality, collective creativity, and a rejection of societal norms. Their influence extended into art, literature, and social activism, leaving a legacy that continues to ripple through contemporary music festivals, free-spirited gatherings, and the enduring ethos of countercultural freedom.

The Garcia Project is proud and thrilled to celebrate the legacy of the Merry Pranksters with two magical nights of music and Prankster fun at the historic WOW Hall in Eugene, OR, on March 20 and 21, 2025. Eugene holds a special place in Prankster history, serving as a home base for Ken Kesey and his colorful crew. The Garcia Project honors this connection by recreating the authentic Jerry Garcia Band experience, channeling the same spirit of spontaneity, joy, and deep musical exploration that defined the Acid Test era. These shows will not only pay tribute to Garcia’s timeless music but also embrace the playful, freewheeling energy that the Merry Pranksters embodied. Fans can expect a vibrant celebration filled with music, community, and perhaps a surprise or two in true Prankster fashion. It’s more than just a concert—it’s a reunion of kindred spirits who believe in the power of music, creativity, and collective magic.

Jerry Garcia’s relationship with the Merry Pranksters was a defining chapter in both his life and the broader countercultural movement of the 1960s. The Pranksters, led by Ken Kesey, were at the forefront of the psychedelic revolution, and their Acid Tests served as the proving grounds for Garcia and the Grateful Dead. These immersive, boundary-pushing gatherings blurred the lines between performer and audience, creating an atmosphere where spontaneity, creativity, and exploration reigned supreme. For Garcia, the Acid Tests weren’t just concerts—they were transformative experiences that shaped his approach to music, improvisation, and connection with his audience. The Pranksters’ mantra of “You’re either on the bus or off the bus” resonated deeply with Garcia, reflecting his belief in unity, freedom, and the power of shared experience. Through this bond, Garcia became not just a musician in the Prankster universe but a central figure in a cultural movement that sought to break down societal barriers and celebrate life in its raw, unfiltered form.

With special pranksters art, music and guests, and Ken Roberts’ Psychedelic Express Lightshow, It’s more than just a concert—it’s a reunion of kindred spirits who believe in the power of music, creativity, and collective magic.

A Brand New World: Building Believable Worlds and Characters 3/22/2025 10:00 AM - 3/22/2025 5:00 PM

Wed, 05 Feb 2025 14:35:54 GMT

Learn an innovative solution to confusing characters and their motivations in this full-day workshop with Leah Velez

How do you create characters and build believable worlds based on real-life motivations?

Perhaps you’ve tried filling out lengthy character questionnaires. Or created speech patterns, gaits, or other mannerisms to differentiate one character from another. But you get mired in the details and the results feel stilted or overdone or off somehow.

Your worlds, and the characters who inhabit them, need to be grounded in real-life motivation–not just wants, but deeper needs. These deeper-seated values cause naturally arising reactions to stress and growth, in a way that feels organic and believable.

Using an innovative approach, author and teacher Leah Velez, will teach you how to uncover your characters’ motivations, core wounds, and communication preferences. A combination of the enneagram and roleplaying character matrix, Leah has created a tool to help you understand how worlds, and people, work in life–and in story.

It’s very hard, maybe even near impossible, to step outside of our own views of the world, our own cultures, the ways we were raised, and the languages that we know. This creates confines on our imaginations and resulting writing.

If you’re writing about people and places unfamiliar to you, this tool will give you insight into how other folks and their world views operate, making them more believable in your writing. Even if these insights don’t make it directly onto your published pages, they provide a peek outside your confines, allowing you, as a writer, to create worlds that differ from the ones you live in.

Even if you’re writing about familiar environments and people you know, this tool shows how and why we respond the way we do to different experiences, giving you a deeper understanding on what makes your story, and the people in it, tick. Rather than a formulaic approach to writing, spending time with the results you come up with and noticing their gravitational pull on you, gives you essential feedback and insight.

Tell me more about this magical tool!

The tool Leah co-created is a combination of the D&D character matrix and the enneagram, retooled to use an ethics and values matrix. It gives you a clearer view of the worlds and characters you create. Using it feels invigorating, activating your brain in new ways, and helping you better understand folks you may have had a difficult time understanding before.

This day-long workshop includes different versions of the matrix itself, a handbook, and a card deck that you can use to map your characters, and the social and political systems your characters operate within.

"We are so appreciative of all of your contributions to this workshop over the years and want to ask you to return." -Workshop Participant

Is this workshop for me?

This workshop is for:
-Writers interested in story structure
-Writers who enjoy figuring out the behind-the-scenes infrastructures for the words on the page
-Writers who like playing with dice and prompts
-Writers who like D&D and other role-playing games might get extra enjoyment from the workshop, but no experience is necessary!

What will I learn?
-Learn a new framework to help you map your characters
-Gain deeper understanding of why your characters behave the way they do – or how they should behave in your story
-Leave with your own matrix card deck to keep using in your writing
-Connect with other writers interested into the workings of characters and their worlds

Pascuala Ilabaca y Fauna 3/22/2025 8:00 PM - 3/22/2025 11:00 PM

Wed, 05 Mar 2025 09:43:52 GMT

On Saturday, March 22nd 2025, the Community Center for the Performing Arts proudly welcomes Pascuala Ilabaca y Fauna to the WOW Hall.

Pascuala Ilabaca y Fauna

Hailing from Valparaiso, Chile, singer-songwriter Pascuala Ilabaca is a unique and treasured voice in both the Latin American and World Music scenes. In little over a decade, she has released six albums and performed on multiple world tours. She is known for her flamboyant and refreshing performances.

?Ilabaca’s debut album, Pascuala Canta a Violeta, was released in 2008 featuring her arrangements of legendary singer-songwriter Violeta Parra’s songs. In 2010, Ilabaca receives the Guitarpin de oro prize at the Festival del Huaso de Olmué, and by 2012, she had completed her first two European tours, which included two nights of performance at the German TFF Rudolstadt Festival. She also released her second album, Busco Paraiso, that same year.

In 2013, Ilabaca and her band Fauna were the Audience Award winners for Best World Beat Album at the Independent Music Awards. They also performed at the Music and Politics Festival in Berlin and at the Barnasants Festival in Barcelona.

In 2014, Ilabaca released her third and fourth albums: the solo project Me saco el sombrero and her second album with Fauna Diablo rojo, Diablo verde. That same year she returned to the Barnasants Festival and also performed at the Pirineos Sur Festival in Spain and at Fusion Festival and the Berlin Philharmonic in Germany. In addition, she completes an 11-concert tour in England that includes a performance at the London Jazz Festival.

Exciting 2015 brought the release of Ilabaca’s fifth album Rey Loj and performances at Shambala and WOMAD in the UK, Circulart in Colombia and La Mar de Musicas and the Bidasoa Folk Festival in Spain. Then 2016 brought an official showcase at WOMEX and a tour of Brazil, Peru, Argentina and Mexico. She also received the Pulsar Prize, the most important Chilean music industry award, and she was named Best Artist by Songlines Magazine in the company of Mariza, Seckou Keita and Lura.

In 2017, Ilabaca performed 22 concerts in Europe that included stops in Belgium, Holland, Germany and Spain. This European tour was followed by her first US tour with concerts in 12 cities across 9 states and performances at such festivals as ¡Globalquerque! and the Chico World Music Festival. In 2018, Ilabaca released her sixth and most recent album El mito de la pergola. She spent the next two years touring Chile, Europe, Colombia and the United States.

Pascuala worked remotely throughout the COVID pandemic, performing multiple internationally streamed concerts with her band for the likes of such organizations as the Americas Society. She also wrote a trove of new music, including collaborations with other Latin American women artists, and she continued her work leading creative musical workshops with school children from remote villages across Chile, bringing the classes online. In 2021, Pascuala also released her EP “Amatoria” recorded with an all female string quartet.

Upon the world’s reopening Pascuala Ilabaca & Fauna began touring South America, North America and Europe immediately. Some of the standout concerts include the mainstage of the Montreal Jazz Festival in front of 26,000 people, Lollapalooza Chile, and the closing ceremonies of the 2023 Pan American Games. Additionally, in 2022, Pascuala was named 1 of 12 Spotify Equal Artists and was featured on billboards in Times Square, and in 2023 she was invited to perform on Chinese National Television.

Pascuala Ilabaca & Fauna are currently signed to Warner Music Chile and released the albums “Lucero” in 2022 and “Alegriste” and “Portena” in 2023.

CHARLIE FARLEY IS A FULLY INDEPENDENT ARTIST THAT IS GARNISHING OVER 6 MILLION STREAMS PER MONTH ACROSS ALL DIGITAL PLATFORMS.

With music commonly described as alternative country, Charlie utilizes his home of DeQueen, Ark. and past experiences as inspiration for the music he writes. His music resonates with his fans, as it’s lyrically diverse, but always honestly portrays real life.

“A song should hit you in one way or another. Party hard, love harder. There isn’t a middle ground with my music.” – Charlie Farley

Farley kicked off his career in music with his first record Hog Heaven debuting on Billboard Charts, and the following, All I’ve Been Through, hitting #3 on them in 2016. In 2018, his third studio album titled Winning With The Losers was released. It became an instant hit with longtime fans as well as with new fans. Farley’s first two singles from the album, “Where I’m From” and “Alcoholiday” both surpassed the 1,000,000 view mark on YouTube in just a few short months. Riding on the success of the album and his three EP releases of 2019, Charlie and his band brought his unique interpretation of music to the masses through constant nationwide touring from Fall 2018 – now.
When it comes to live shows, there isn’t one around that is as energetic or as interactive as Farley’s. Between year-round touring, popularity on streaming platforms, his performance, and Charlie’s determination to become a once in a lifetime type of artist, Farley is at the absolute top of his game and thriving on the idea of advancing even further throughout 2020.

In addition to writing for himself, Farley also happens to co-write for artists such as Colt Ford and Taylor Ray Holbrook. One of his co-writes, Colt Ford’s “Reload,” was curated for the televised event series UFC Tonight. Along with that, “Stabbin’ Cabin,” from Hog Heaven, was picked up by CMT’s TV Series “Party Down South.” Currently his song “Exposed” is on The Outdoor Channel’s hit fishing series, The Timmy Horton Show.

Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt Whitman 3/29/2025 9:30 AM - 4/19/2025 12:00 Noon

Wed, 05 Feb 2025 15:28:09 GMT

The idealistic, prophetic voices of essayist Ralph Emerson and poet Walt Whitman helped to push the growing materialistic culture of 19th century America toward the higher principles of reverence for nature, spirituality, and individual responsibility. Considered radical by many of their peers, and viewed even today as intellectual revolutionaries, these writers continue to urge us to rethink our assumptions in favor of more holistic, democratic relationships with each other and even with the environment. It is no exaggeration to call them founding figures of American philosophy and poetry. Although different in personality and style, they partner in their unswerving commitment to a profound faith in what they considered universal truths.

Our class will read these writers as spiritual soul-mates, exploring how philosophy (Emerson) and poetry (Whitman) comingle. Even though only sixteen years separate them, Emerson and Whitman form a father-son relationship; the child emulates as well as disturbs the parent, fostering growth and intellectual intimacy. We’ll tackle many of their romantic themes: perception, mind/body dualism, freedom, and the like. However, we’ll also investigate the "Transcendentalist" movement, a type of thinking that has roots both in American Puritanism and the Enlightenment. In addition, we’ll take time to reflect on each writer’s views on aging—an area of interest to many of us.

Our texts hold an embarrassment of riches, much more than we can intelligently consider in four weeks. In reading selectively, a sampling of these two influential voices of American history will generate an appetite for deeper banquets of ideas.
