Join the fun at The Covert Cafe, a cozy and fun hideaway adjacent to the Montevilla district. This show will feature all original music by three creative humans. Come join the party!Kina Lyn:
Kina Lyn Muir is a multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter, composer, live performer, recording artist, and private music instructor who has been based in the Portland Metro Area for the past 22 years. Known for her many years of being a bandleader for groups such as Twisted Whistle, Kozmic Tilt (A Tribute to Janis Joplin), and Kina Lyn Divided By Zero, as well as for countless guest spots and album credits, and a handful of film credits as a session musician, Kina Lyn has recently toured in the western U.S. as well as Central America. You can find her performing solo, as a duo with her husband and longtime musical partner, Matt Franzen, or in full band configurations. Her newest project, Kina Lyn & The Western Kind, debuted September, 2025.
Kina was born in Oakland, CA, and spent most of her early childhood studying piano and cello in Eureka, CA before moving to Sweden. Her family returned to the U.S. and moved to Santa Barbara, CA during her teenage years, where she was privileged to access a treasure trove of musical opportunity. She spent four consecutive summers touring Italy, performing on the cello with a chamber music festival, the last also attending an Oberlin workshop in northern Italy, as well as touring the UK with her Madrigals Singers choir, before testing out of high school to attend the San Francisco Conservatory of Music for cello performance. From there, she found the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle which took her all over the West Coast and Montana before she finally settled in Portland, which is where we began.

James Tiefenthaler:
James curates these Showcases at The Covert and hopes you get as much inspiration out of them as he does. James will share his tunes, at times they focus on community, nature, the failing malaise we live in, the wonderful spark of positivity in every being and other musings. James invites you all to sit back, relax, meet a new human, and enjoy the Songwriter Showcase.
21+, no cover, but please do consider the wonderful food menu at The Covert Café, and please tip the artists.
