Join the Wallowa Valley Music Alliance for their monthly showcase of original music at Lear's Mainstreet Pub & Grill in Enterprise on Saturday, April 17. This edition of Tunesmith Night features Wallowa County's own Rodd Ambroson plus friends from the Portland area, Gareth Tabor and Michael Tevlin.

A master artist and sculptor, Rodd Ambroson infuses his music with the same passion and spirit that art lovers recognize in his visual works. His melodic fingerstyle guitar lays a softly textured canvas for his finely crafted ballads, sung with a warm voice that's full of heart.

Gareth Tabor has performed for Wallowa County audiences as part of the Back Alley String Band, a bluegrass group from Portland, and now returns to showcase his original songs. An ophthalmologist by profession, Tabor shows his more artistic side as he shares his blues/swing-tinted folk songs with steady guitar backing.  Tabor says he is most satisfied when his songs “communicate a sense of place and time as well as my own view of the conundrum of existence in an existential, sometimes tragically comical world.”

Michael Francis Xavier Tevlin is the son of a first-generation Irish cop from New York. Born in the Bronx, he came west with his Brooklyn-born wife, Diane, dog, van, and guitar in 1977 trying to live out the words to the song, "Me and You and a Dog Named Blue." He still has Diane and his old guitar, but the dog and van are another story. He's been coming out to the Wallowas since the '80s, but it was his friend and bandmate, Gareth Tabor, who got him to sign up for Marv Ross's song-writing class at Fishtrap in 2008, and he's been writing songs steadily since. Michael is a full-time writer in Portland, and is at work on a novel set in the Wallowas.

The format for Saturday's concert will be a “round-robin” performance, offering an opportunity for the songwriters to be heard in a respectful listening environment. Tunesmith Night is a program of the Wallowa Valley Music Alliance. Admission to the concert is $7, showtime is 7:00 PM.

LESSONS FROM THE LOESS PLATEAU is a superb and fascinating 52-minute documentary about fixing poverty by restoring ecological function. The scene is north central China's loess plateau, the cradle of Han civilization, where centuries of poor agricultural methods had resulted in horrific soil erosion and persistent poverty. In the 1990s a project the size of Wallowa, Union, and Baker counties, combining land reform with massive restoration and terracing of erodible slopes, was initiated by the Chinese government with the cooperation of the World Bank.

Filmmaker John Liu spent years documenting the project, gaining a deep understanding of the underlying social and ecological realities, and this carefully crafted and moving film is an engaging look at rural China in the midst of changes that few have heard about.

Those interested in climate change, big government, watershed restoration, or desertification will find this a worthwhile film. Discussion afterwards hosted by Peter Donovan of the Soil Carbon Coalition.

Friday, April 30, 2010, at 7 pm at the Coffin House (400 E. Grant, Enterprise). Free to the public.
