Extremely Frank Dance Concert at The Ruins

Join the Columbia Gorge Orchestra Jazz Collective Big Band for "Extremely Frank," featuring world-class Sinatra tribute artist Jamie Goetz on Saturday, Oct. 21, at The Ruins in Hood River.

Tickets $25 adults ($15 CGOA members), $5 youth ages 10-17, free for kids under 10, tickets available at www.gorgeorchestra.org

About the event

Pop star, matinee idol, raconteur...for decades, Frank Sinatra was one of America's biggest celebrities. You know the hits: Strangers in the Night, My Way, The Best is Yet to Come, New York, New York...really, too many to list. And let's not forget the movies like “Guys and Dolls,” “From Here to Eternity” and “Pal Joey.” Then there are the Las Vegas shows, the TV appearances...Frank Sinatra was at the heart of popular culture.

Frank Sinatra began his career singing with big bands, and while we can't hop in a time machine back to the 1930s and 40s, CGOA can bring you the next best thing. Oh, and dancing is more than allowed...it's encouraged. So put on your porkpie hat -- Frank famously said how you wear your hat is all about "angles and attitudes" -- dress to the nines and enjoy the return of Old Blue Eyes, courtesy of CGOA.

About the Book

“The Graveyard Book” by Neil Gaiman

“IT TAKES A GRAVEYARD TO RAISE A CHILD.”

“Nobody Owens, known as Bod, is a normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn’t live in a graveyard, being raised by ghosts, with a guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor the dead. There are adventures in the graveyard for a boy—an ancient Indigo Man, a gateway to the abandoned city of ghouls, the strange and terrible Sleer. But if Bod leaves the graveyard, he will be in danger from the man Jack — who has already killed Bod’s family. The Graveyard Book, a modern classic, is the only work ever to win both the Newbery (US) and Carnegie (UK) medals.

The Portland Mercury called him “an undisputed genius of comedy,” and he's been featured on podcasts such as Lovett or Leave It, Pod Save The People and Harmontown. Elshieky zeroes in on topics that seem off limits - then surprises you with how hard you’re laughing.”

About the Artist

“An anarchist streak still runs through me,” says Rizo, the singer-sophisticate who was once a teenage punk rocker. “I love the idea of claiming something that’s uncool and making it authentic.” To that end, the NYC-based artist has earned a name for herself by transforming nightclub-pop into experiences that are more soulful, more theatrical. A provocateur with an electric wit, Rizo is a vessel for the spirits of Edith Piaf and Freddie Mercury.”

Locarno at The Dalles Civic

It’s a celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month with the traditional musical styles of Locarno, at The Dalles Civic Auditorium on Tuesday, Oct. 3. Locarno is an eight-piece band that fuses elements of traditional musical styles — folk, Cuban, Cumbia, Jarocho, Salsa, Joropo, some marimba tunes from Chiapas, Mexico — with contemporary sounds, such as pop and funk.

About the Artist

Locarno is the Latin project of JUNO Award winning musician, Tom Landa. Like him, the music is equal parts Mexican and Canadian. Tom was born and raised in Mexico City, and moved to Canada in his teens. In the mid nineties he formed the Folk Roots band, The Paperboys, who have been touring world-wide for over 20 years. Tom has always dabbled in Latin music, and in 2005 decided to immerse himself more into the genre, and started working on material for an album. In 2006 he was awarded a Canada Council Grant to study traditional Mexican Music in Veracruz, Mexico. Tom spent his days learning the jarana (an 8 string guitar), and learning songs from the Son Jarocho repertoire. Upon his return to Canada, Tom started working on what would be Locarno’s debut CD.

Since then the band has honed in on their sound and incorporated more of their influences such as music from Columbia, African Sukous, Mexican Marimba Music, Venezuelan Joropo and Brazilian Forro Music. Perhaps where the band shines the most is in the live shows which features Tom Landa on jaranas and guitars, Kalissa Landa on violin, Robin Layne on marimba, congas and timbales, Pedro Mota on guitar and vocals, Aaron McKinney on bass, Liam MacDonald on drums, congas and pandero, Jocelyn Waugh on trumpet and Nick La Riviere on trombone.
