Mazot Fest (April 11 & 12, 2024)
Live Music Mondays
Join us at our pub in White Salmon, WA each Monday from 6-8pm for a set of live tunes from local artists.
4/8 Alonzo Garbanzo
Folk rock from Parkdale.
BIO: Alonzo Garbanzo is the stage name of Dennis Castañares, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist across various styles, with a working repertoire of 650+ songs (many originals, and tunes ranging from 15th century to Lead Belly to Fats Domino to Radiohead to
Li’l Nas X, etc.) It’s not easy to pigeonhole his “genre”, except to call it maybe “Folk-rock-blues-country-R&B-baroque-Martian” just to (mostly) cover the bases.
An Oregon resident since 2012, he’s an L.A. expatriate who in times past has played with Leland Sklar, The Cowsills, Maroon 5, and various other luminaries. Alonzo’s main artillery these days is his 6- and 12-string acoustics, and he also plays occasional bass and keyboards in ensembles.
As of early 2024, Alonzo has more than 635 self-made music videos posted on YouTube.
6-8PM at the pub.
4/15 Ben Johnson
Folk singer/songwriter from Portland
With a rich and smoky voice honed in the endless mountains and lonesone deserts of the west, Ben Johnson tumbled into the Portland, Oregon music scene offering a vivid and stark portrait of real American life.
Writing in the style of Dylan, Prine, and Hank Williams, his loyalty to the American songbook is eclipsed only by his dedication to convey the often heartbreaking circumstances of the stories surrounding him.
His enduring originality in both sound and lyrical direction reminds listeners of the golden age of folk and country/western music. All the while simultaneously carving his own soothing path.
6-8PM in the pub.
4/22 Tom Letson
Singer-Songwriter/Americana/Old-Time
Tom Letson is a long-time troubadour who's been hurlin' songs into the vast expanse for over 10 years. Starting out as a buskin' hobo, he worked his way up to perform at various bars and venues across North America through skillful songwriting, fingerpicking, slide guitar, and clawhammer banjo. He's appeared on festival bills with world renowned acts such as Willie Watson, Charlie Parr, Brothers Comatose, Haley Heynderickx, Possessed by Paul James, and more. In 2023, he joined up with drummer & brother Justin Letson to form Tom Letson & the Letdown while living in Haines, AK. They're a vintage sounding roots duo drawing influence from the prewar Piedmont & Hill-Country Blues, Appalachian Mountain Music, and Alt Rock. They're currently based out of Oregon, and can be found playing shows throughout the Pacific Northwest.
6-8PM at the pub.
4/29 Chris Baron
Funky folk from the Willamette Valley
Chris' live show exudes the wonderment and enthusiasm of an artist drawing an authentic connection with his audience...feeding off that raw live energy...he rocks out and story tells the way Wilco and The Avett Brothers have so successfully done.
6-8PM in the pub.
