SUMMARY:Sit Spot Community Gathering & Meditation: A Mini Forest Bathing Experience
DESCRIPTION:Looking for a mid-week pick me up? Join Mindy Lockhart of Rooted Presence for a short but powerful meditation and nature immersion to help relieve stress and regulate our nervous system. \nThis experience focuses on coming together and enjoying the peace of the forest. It includes a brief sensory opening meditation\, 20 to 30 minutes to enjoy a solo “sit spot” invitation\, which is a core forest bathing invitation for reducing stress and reconnecting to nature\, and a closing community circle with an opportunity to share what we each noticed in our unique experience. \nForest bathing is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku\, which translates to “forest bath” and just means to take in the atmosphere of the forest through our senses (leave your swimsuit at home…no literal bathing required!). It is a practice of spending time in forested areas for the purpose of enhancing health\, wellness\, and happiness and remembering our connection to nature and each other. \nDecades of studies have discovered a wide range of health benefits associated with this practice\, including stress relief\, better sleep\, lowered blood pressure and inflammation\, and improved immunity. \nLearn more at www.rootedpresence.com

SUMMARY:Sun Garden—new mixed media paintings from Shelli Walters
DESCRIPTION:Tumalo Art Company’s August exhibit\, Sun Garden\, features new mixed media paintings and paper mache sculpture by Shelli Walters. The opening reception takes place August 4\, during the First Friday Gallery Walk from 3-7pm in the Old Mill District. \nVisitors to the gallery in August will be treated to an uplifting stroll through whimsical imagined gardens in Shelli’s Sun Garden series. Shelli says this body of work flowed out over the past year in response to the loss of her Mom. Her grief and a complex estate management process had her craving moments of peace and simplicity. \nIn the studio her garden experience spills out in acrylic paint\, collage\, graphite and crayon on 24”x12” canvas panels creating mural-like impression of a blissful day in the garden. Paper mache sculptures of deer and birds on bicycles\, complement the two-dimensional work. Shelli enjoys repurposing materials to forge these whimsical creations giving what would otherwise end up in the trash or recycle bin a joyful new place in the world. \nTumalo Art Co. is an artist-run gallery in the heart of the Old Mill District open 7 days a week. tumaloartco.com; 541-385-9144.

SUMMARY:Lonestar at General Duffy’s Waterhole
DESCRIPTION:General Duffy’s Waterhole is excited to host Lonestar on July 28\, 2023 as part of their 2023 Summer Kickin’ Concert Series in Downtown Redmond! Presented by Subaru of Bend. All ages welcome\, show starts at 4pm. \nNot every musician has the opportunity to revisit and even potentially improve upon their biggest hits. But on the forthcoming TEN to 1 record\, the award-winning band Lonestar— Dean Sams (keyboards\, acoustic guitar\, background vocals)\, Michael Britt (lead guitarist\, background vocals)\, Keech Rainwater (drums) and Drew Womack (lead vocals\, guitar)—are taking a fresh look at all 10 of their chart-topping country songs. \nThis streak started in 1996 with the band’s second single\, the rock-edged “No News\,” which describes a man left bereft (and confused) when his girlfriend suddenly disappears\, and the following year’s tender “Come Cryin’ to Me” and “Everything’s Changed.” The band’s quadruple-platinum 1999 album Lonely Grill spawned four No. 1 hits (including the beloved global smash “Amazed”) and established Lonestar as music’s preeminent pop-country band—a status they’d maintain through the 2000s and beyond\, thanks to songs full of energy and creative lyrics (“What About Now”) and (“Mr. Mom”)\, along with heartfelt messages and soaring melodies (“I’m Already There”). \nWith these re-recordings\, the band members were mindful of striking a balance between preserving the sonic elements fans were familiar with—and not repeating them. “It was a high wire act trying to figure out how to change it a little bit and not throw people off too much\,” Britt says. “I’ve seen bands that when they do the big hits that I know\, and they change it up too much\, I feel disappointed. I think people want to sing along—the vocal melody is what people really are latching onto the majority of time. \n“That’s what was in everybody’s minds when we were trying to come up with different arrangements\, was trying to keep the vocal melody true\,” he continues. “Don’t change it so much that people go\, ‘That’s not even the same song.'” \nAs a result\, many of Lonestar’s re-recordings have merely cosmetic updates and changes. “Mr. Mom” is “a little bit more country-sounding\,” Britt says\, while Sams created some loops for “Smile” to “make it more modern-feeling\, and have a little more motion\,” he says. “It’s a little bigger-sounding than what the original record is. We kept most of the songs pretty close to the originals\, but with just more updated\, modern sounds.” \nThe changes to “Amazed\,” meanwhile\, reflect the power ballad’s status as an exclamation mark during concerts. “Since it’s usually the biggest part or finale of the show\, we’ve made it a little bit more bombastic\,” Britt says. “We didn’t want to change it so much as just to make it more epic.” \nTEN to 1 reflects the ways Lonestar’s hits have evolved over the years during the band’s rousing\, high-energy concerts. For example\, Britt improvised a guitar solo in the studio for the new version of “Tell Her\,” just as he’s done live in the last few years. \n“We’ve all played these songs live so much that we’ve morphed them over the years and play them a little bit differently\,” Sams says. “In re-recording them\, it was taking all the different things that we have done and harnessing it into the best direction for today. Michael’s got a lot better guitar sounds than he had when we made a lot of these hits; Keech has better drums.” Sams also produced the TEN to 1 record sessions\, and he approached the songs with fresh ears from both a musical and studio perspective. “I had to look at the music this time\, like\, ‘As not only a band member\, but as the producer of this record\, how can I keep the integrity of what made the songs the hits they were—but also update them so when people listen to them\, there’s something unique and different about them that catches their ear for today’s time?'” \nPerhaps the biggest example of this contemporary updating is “Come Cryin’ to Me\,” which the band members agree is the biggest sonic departure. A particular concert by indie-folk act The Lumineers inspired a completely new direction for the song; Lonestar’s updated version has gang vocals\, four-on-the-floor beats\, and percussion that adds a galloping vibe. \nWomack\, who joined the group in early 2021\, also put his own soulful spin on the songs\, and brought his deep experience recording session and lead vocals to the studio process. “I sat there and listened to each song about 20 times\, and the phrasing and the feel of the new tracks\, and tried to absorb it to where I can sing it in one take\,” he says. “And then I went in and sang four or five passes\, and then go back and listen to it and choose the best track.” \nThe vocalist is also no stranger to chart success. He co-wrote Kenny Chesney’s first No. 1 hit\, “She’s Got It All\,” while his former band\, Sons of the Desert\, also had multiple country hits in the ’90s and collaborated with Lee Ann Womack on her crossover hit “I Hope You Dance.” Drew Womack also has deep personal and professional ties to his new band; Sons of the Desert crossed paths with Lonestar many times\, even opening shows for them early on. \n“We actually covered a couple of the songs that I’m re-recording\,” Womack says. “It’s surreal re-recording for a greatest hits record songs that I covered back when I was 23\, 24. But it’s been great. We have very similar tastes in music and similar temperaments. And I’ve always been a band guy from day one—so this is just like coming home\, like flopping right back into a band. It feels right to me.” \nThe rest of Lonestar also speak of how easily Womack fit into the lineup. “Everybody has a best friend somewhere—and then all of a sudden\, at the job that you love\, you get to work with them every day\,” Rainwater says. “It’s a great feeling that one of your good friends is now one of your bandmates. And it shows on stage when we play—it comes through in the music a little bit\, in the attitude and the stage presence.” \nAdds Sams: “His vocals are soulful. What I love about him is that you feel every word that he sings\, which is probably the biggest compliment I can give. He has this really unique way of attaching himself to the lyric of the song and making the audience that is listening to him feel what he is feeling. It’s a gift.” \nLonestar’s roots date back to the early ’90s\, when Sams originally moved to Nashville from his native Texas intending to be a solo artist. However\, after a few months\, he realized that he was better suited for a band and recruited Britt and Rainwater. \nLonestar found success out of the gate with their self-titled 1995 debut\, which spawned the hit “Tequila Talkin'” along with “No News.” \nOther honors soon followed: The band has won many of music’s top honors\, including Academy Of Country Music awards for New Vocal Group in 1996\, and Single and Song Of The Year in 2000\, along with Humanitarian Of The Year in 2002. They also won Country Music Association’s Vocal Group of the Year and International Artist Achievement award in 2001. All told\, Lonestar have sold more than 10.5 million records since their formation. \nSams and Womack have already started writing new songs together\, which has been a hugely positive creative experience. “We jelled very quickly\,” Sams says. “When something feels comfortable\, it really makes the creative process much more enjoyable and fun\, and it actually doesn’t feel like work. Drew is such a positive person and he fits in with me\, Michael and Keech so much. And there’s just this newfound energy and life that we haven’t had for some time.” \nAnd so as Lonestar looks toward a big career milestone—the band is celebrating 30 years in 2022—and the release of TEN to 1\, they are full of gratitude for what they’ve accomplished already\, and excited about what the future holds. “People that we used to look up to back in the day—like the Rolling Stones\, Boston\, and even bands like Alabama—they’re older than us\,” Rainwater says. “We look up to those people as like the senior class. But now we are sort of the senior class that people seem to look up to and ask questions about and ask for our expertise.” \nAdds Sams: “It’s amazing that we’re still standing and putting on great shows after all these years. The fans are still coming out to our shows night after night\, to see us and hear our music. That’s almost 30 years of touring\, and I can’t tell you how grateful I am—and I’ve never once taken it for granted.”
