GERLE HAGGARD BAND
Gerle Haggard Band is the infamous "All Girl All Merle Tribute."
They bring the best of Merle Haggard’s timeless music to dyed in the wool fans, while introducing his well known hits, obscure singles, and early work to the next generation of Outlaw Country and Western Swing listeners. Often included are some of The Hag’s own carefully chosen blues and jazz covers.
The gerles have been singing tight harmonies and connecting with audiences since 2013. This ensemble features a terrific line-up of musicians who weave original instrumentation and a big heap of showmanship into a full-throttled entertainment event.
They've performed in Washington, California, and throughout Oregon. They've toured Idaho and Nashville. And, in 2019 they played a sold out show at the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame, in Muskogee, Oklahoma ... and will be back. They also play Women's prisons!
Lisa Lepine called them "Fun, Feral, Femtastic!"
Merle Haggard himself said "I wish you girls well!"

LUTHER'S BOOTS
Luther’s Boots was formed to recreate Johnny Cash’s legendary “At Folsom Prison” record in Oregon prisons for the Folsom50 project. Creators Danny Wilson and Tracy Schlapp recognized that Cash’s work was a contract between performer and audience dignified through mutual respect. One prison concert became a tour that has led to a suite of art and musical projects: the work in Oregon prisons grows through their nonprofit Bridgeworks Oregon and Luther’s Boots continues to play music by Cash, his contemporaries, alongside original music by Wilson. Luther’s Boots stays true to the spirt of the original music bringing contemporary energy to the musical roots for audiences on either side of prison walls.
