Chris Baron bringing his magic to Bargeway tonight; Gorge Packin' in the shows all week
Entertainment Weekly sponsored by The Bargeway Pub & Catering
Chris Baron performs tonight, April 26, at the Bargeway Pub at 6 p.m. That looks a lot like the Deschutes River to me.
The Bargeway Pub is throwing everything at it this week with another set of seven shows. And it all kicks off tonight, April 26 at 6 p.m.
Weather could not be better!
Chris Baron performs some music for you that you’ve probably never heard before, he said on his website. “ I compose songs on the acoustic guitar, banjo or uke, or imagine them out of the air around me. “
His Friend Jake Riggs said"...It's not hard to tell that Baron was born to perform. From the solemn to the goofy, sentimental to grateful, his mannerisms and charisma effortlessly transition between the songs and the mood of the room. 'How can Chris be in all moods at all times?' you have asked many times. It took thousands of hours of stage time, thousands of gallons of beer and more heartbreak than the average human can endure. Go see ChrisBaron live. He'll be the long-haired, tall approachable guy holding the guitar...and chances are he'll be smiling...

Neon Disco Skate Night at HR Elks
The first time I heard Queen’s “Another One Bites the Dust” I was at a roller rink in 5th grade and was finishing a speed skate and getting ready for the snowball. That’s when they dim the lights and the mirrored ball shines balls of light around the rink, and you go ask somebody to skate with you. The cool people could skate backward. I was never that guy. But everybody is cool when that song plays - Tom Peterson.

About the Film
“Elemental takes viewers on a journey with the top experts in the nation to better understand fire. We follow the harrowing escape from Paradise as the town ignited from wind-driven embers and burned within a few hours of the fire’s start. We visit fire labs where researchers torch entire houses to learn why some homes burn and others survive. We learn from Native Americans as they employ fire to benefit nature and increase community safety as they have for thousands of years. We follow researchers who work to understand the effects of climate on forests and the crucial role that natural forests play in storing vast amounts of carbon. Along the way we listen to people who have survived the deadliest fires to underscore the importance of this quest.”
