A concert series titled “Songs of Power & Protest” is set to take place at Trout Lake Hall on December 6, 2023. This event will feature twelve talented songwriters from the Pacific Northwest who aim to inspire and unite audiences through original protest songs. The concert is created and hosted by Rose Gerber, a Portland-based artist known for her distinctive blend of country, folk, rock, and alt-country music.
The lineup for this second installment of the series includes a diverse array of musicians: Matt Mitchell, Jim Brunberg, Crystal Lariza, Erin Adkission, Zach Markezich, William Surly, Kyle Patrick Kregan, Jordan Krinsky, Shiloh Mae, Tim Karplus, and Katie Waterland, alongside Gerber herself. Each artist will perform original songs crafted specifically for this event and a cover of a protest song that resonates with them personally.
Gerber, who has a rich musical history, has performed at renowned festivals such as Pickathon, Treefort Music Festival, and Jackalope Jamboree. Her music encapsulates a vibrant spirit where “cowboy boots meet Doc Martens,” appealing to a wide audience. “Folk, bluegrass, country, pop — whatever the sound, these songs carry a shared purpose: to move hearts, spark action, and remind us that music has always been part of the movement,” stated a press release about the concert.
This concert presents a unique opportunity for attendees to experience songs that may become the anthems for future generations of change-makers and activists. Tickets and further details can be found on the official website at www.TroutLakeHall.com.
As the concert approaches, the excitement builds, promising an evening filled with powerful performances aimed at stirring emotions and inspiring action.
