➢  Saturday March 21, 7pm (doors at 6) at the Winthrop Red Barn - Project Convergence - a bi-coastal American dance company uniting Bharatanatyam & American tap dance, two traditions rooted in distinct cultures, brought together without erasing what makes each unique. What emerges is an experience that feels both familiar & surprising, ancient and contemporary, grounded & electric.  Led by artists whose work spans stages from Lincoln Center to Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre, Project Convergence blends technical mastery with storytelling, showing how Indian & African-American dance traditions intersect through rhythm, timing, & expression. The result is a performance that resonates across generations & backgrounds, accessible, rigorous, & deeply human.  Presented by Methow Arts.  For tickets click here.

➢   Monday March 23, 6-8 pm at Methow Valley Community Center gym - The Jazz Workshop - A bi-monthly gathering to create opportunities to learn and grow in playing jazz.  Each gathering will include playing/singing with the backing of a rhythm section.  Also included will be teaching, learning, and mentoring.  See Recurring Events for more info.

➢  Friday March 27, 6:00-9:00 at the Old Schoolhouse Brewery, Winthrop - The Welter Brothers - The Welter Brothers are, in many ways, a classic stringed instrument-wielding blood harmony duo. Like the Louvins, Monroes, and Everlys, they have spent countless hours melding their individual sounds into a cohesive unit. However, the wells they draw from stand unique among similar groups. Jackson, a historian, delves as far back as the thirteenth century in the English/Scottish ballad tradition, infusing this wealth of knowledge into even the most modern arrangements. Corban, an original songwriter, and skilled technician on several instruments, brings a contemporary perspective to even the oldest of songs. Together, their style stands at the nexus of genres, as if time-traveling anthropologists had distilled the last 200 years of storytelling and dance tunes into music suitable for the modern palette. No cover. 

➢  Saturday March 28, 7pm (doors at 6:30) at the Twisp Valley Grange - Spring Dance with The Family Vibe - all ages dance with a local reggae favorite.  $10 sliding scale, kids free.

➢  Friday April 24 , 6:00-9:00 at the Old Schoolhouse Brewery, Winthrop - Matt Mitchell Music Company - an original Americana project hailing from the Pacific Northwest. Centered around the old-soul, observational storytelling of Mitchell, who lives full time out of an imported Japanese bus, MMMC brings Mitchell’s tunes to life in solo, acoustic duo/trio and full band configurations. Mitchell's songs are equal parts clever, quick-witted and heartbreakingly confessional, (oftentimes all at once) translating well both in attentive listening rooms and rowdy rock halls. If ‘The Band’ took a road trip to Laurel Canyon and pulled their tour bus over to pick up John Prine hitching his way down the pacific coastline, their rolling jam sessions might sound a little like Matt Mitchell Music Co.

➢  Friday, May 8 and Saturday May 9, 7pm at the Methow Valley Community Center - A Celebration of American Music - performed by your talented and enthusiastic neighbors and friends! The concert honors our nation’s 250th birthday and will feature jazz, Motown, bluegrass and more by favorite artists such as Aaron Copland, Aretha Franklin, Paul Simon and George Gershwin.
