2008 PROMOTIONS
CONCERTS
THE LOST CREEK BAND
Lost Creek delivers driving bluegrass and old time standards with outstanding vocal harmonies and tasteful instrumentation. For years they've delighted audiences at bluegrass festivals, pubs, parks, weddings, and markets in both Oregon and Washington.
LINDY GRAVELLE
Lindy grew up in the small town of Heppner in Eastern Oregon, where the landscape was as broad and open as Texas. "It was cowboys and ranchers, and the big deal of the year was the rodeo." Her parents owned Heppner’s popular Wagon Wheel Café. For entertainment at the Wagon Wheel, Lindy’s father led her brothers and sisters in a country and western band, performing songs by Hank Williams, Buck Owens and Patsy Cline. Lindy made her debut as a performer at the age of three, when her father brought her onstage for a nightly solo.
BRIANNE MARIE BEATY
Brianne Marie Beaty is a graduate of McNary High and San Diego State University. She comes from a musical family and has been a musician/dancer her entire life. She studied, competed, and composed in classical style piano for many years. Brianne Marie has performed professionally as a dancer for the WCHL's Gulls, the NFL's Chargers, television and film projects, and several dance companies along the west coast. Since becoming a country singer, she has performed from Oregon to Iraq and will be performing in Afghanistan in August with The Sweethearts for Soldiers.
COURTNEY JONES
Courtney Jones' unique sound and songwriting style has been compared to Sarah McLachlan meets KT Tunstall, with a hint of Keane thrown in just for good measure. Her upcoming record boasts a roster of talent usually reserved for a major label artist with a major label budget. She is neither . . . yet. She has opened for a half dozen (and counting) major label artists as diverse as Warner Bros.’ Australian Pop superstar Missy Higgins and KCRW’s “Morning Becomes Eclectic” favorite Bitter:Sweet of “The Mating Game” fame. She has shared festival billing with Augustana, Joshua Radin, and Anna Nalick. XM Satellite Radio and CBS Radio affiliates have also featured her music.
THE YOUNG BUCS
The Young Bucs is a vocal group that originally formed as a 50’s- 60’s doo-wop group, but the group began to add bluegrass selections to the repertoire when local musician, Fred Corbett joined the group as the temporary tenor. Later, Bob and Jerene Shaffar were invited to join the group to fill out the bluegrass sound with their stand-up bass, dobro and fiddle. Now the group suffers from a split personality, performing both doo-wop and bluegrass.
JOHNNY LIMBO & THE LUGNUTS
On May 29th, 1978, Johnny Limbo and the Lugnuts played for the first time together at a party we had planned. As a party gag and telling no one, we put together a band consisting of work associates who happened to be also our friends. To our surprise we were a "hit?" Several parties later, we thought it be fun to play a club or a bar. We found a couple of clubs that were not necessarily known for live music, and it was at one of those clubs that we were "discovered". With occasional time off, we played the next 18 months of Sundays at the Red Lion in Downtown Portland, Oregon and we were "let loose" on the public. As they say, the rest is history, 30 years of it!
