Artichoke Community Music song circle led by the Soldier Songs and Voices Team.

We welcome all veterans and current military to bring your acoustic instruments and share a song or two, covers and/or originals. Song books will be available.

Soldier Songs and Voices provides free songwriting workshops and guitar and voice instruction to veterans of all eras.

If you are interested in joining the workshops, email us.

From the Denson book

Song Circle every Sunday - see Facebook page of Fat Albert‘s Coffee House for Zoom Link and meeting ID.

Songwriters in the Round, $15, show 7 pm (doors open at 6:30).

Joe Kerry New
Joe Kerry New is a Native of Northern California who has lived in Oregon for the past 16 years. His songwriting path has traveled through Nashville as a former staff writer for Almo Irving / Down in Dixie Music and as an Indy publisher associated with Bug Music since 1980.

Denny Bixby
Denny Bixby is an artist in the truest sense, in that he is always evolving in the ways of musical expression. Since returning to Portland, Oregon after almost 18 years living in Nashville, Tennessee and playing around the planet with a half-dozen Grammy-winning artists, he is up to his old tricks and then some. In 2010 he was inducted into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame. He plays in and around the Northwest with rock icons Quarterflash, blues and R&B maven Lloyd Jones, and renowned songwriter Jack McMahon.

John Bunzow
Portland Oregon native John Bunzow’s mix of eclectic musical influences – melding blues, country, rock and even jazz – have helped establish him as an original artist of heartfelt depth, substance and style.
He’s as likely to draw on his love of the music of country legend Merle Haggard or scuffling barroom bard Tom Waits, as he is the smooth R&B and soul of Marvin Gaye, the iconic folk wisdom of Bob Dylan, James Taylor, Ry Cooder or the blues of Albert King.

Held every Sunday. For more info, go to: http://www.seafolklore.org/wp/about-sfs/seattle-song-circle/.

Finally, we come back together and play the tune all together. On the fourth meeting, we work specifically on reviewing the first three tunes and harmony singing. For the final class meeting, we will meet early for a big community dinner (COVID permitting) and will play all the tunes we have learned during the session. In addition to the class meetings, enrolled students will receive access to source recordings and demonstration videos for each of the tunes we teach.
