MORE ABOUT THE PERFORMERS:
Kate Power & Steve Einhorn
Kate Power - singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist
Music2Life winner of the Grand Prize at Kerrvillle 2006 for her song, "Travis John", Kate Power is considered "one of the great voices of our time." (Bill Margeson, WCDB). Multi-instrumentalist, Kate is a DADGAD guitarist, open-back banjo, 6-string ukulele and high-strung Nashville guitar. Kate's first instrument is a voice that delivers songs from the broad brush of a warm heart. Poet, Kim Stafford, says Kate "writes from the beginning of time" rendering songs that feel familiar in new songs.
In play with Steve Einhorn, guitars, banjo and ukuleles lay the strings under harmony as it was intended to be; natural, beautiful, one.
Steve Einhorn- singer, songwriter, guitar,
The classic sound of his guitar lends rich and elegant backgrounds to a voice that growls warm with a sweet molasses and a shade of grit. Steve Einhorn is the groundwire who holds the audience in his hand with a deft wit that matches the warmth of his music.
Steve Einhorn's name was synonymous with his extraordinary music shop, a legend in Portland since 1981, Artichoke Music. Owner of Artichoke Music from 1981 through 2006, Steve inspired and taught thousands of people about music, instruments and songs and grew a deep and rooted reputation for making a better world through music and helping people get their start while running the shop and performing in the region all along.
Kate and Steve joined forces in 1994 and they have been harmonizing ever since.

Jasnam Daya Singh (Weber Iago)
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Jasnam Daya Singh (Weber Iago) has spent all of his musical life researching different types of sounds, ultimately dedicating most of his endeavors to uniting elements of Classical, Jazz and Brazilian Music. In Brazil, Iago spent years developing his craft as a concert pianist as well as a composer, writing mostly piano and chamber music works. In the early 80's he began developing a strong interest in Jazz which prompted his move to Los Angeles, in 1987. Once in the U.S. Iago began working with notable musicians such as Moacir Santos, one of Brazil's greatest composer and arranger.
Iago has participated as a pianist and band-leader in Jazz festivals all over the world: Brazil, Mexico, USA, France and Belgium. He has also performed extensively as a solo artist and sideman in Italy, Luxembourg, Italy and New York, Japan and Czech Republic.

Trashcan Joe
Soaring vocal harmonies and modern song writing set in a soundscape harkening to the early jazz era, Trashcan Joe has a unique sound with a broad appeal. The fact that the instruments are made from recycled and found objects is quickly lost to their stellar musicianship. It's no wonder they are a steadily working live band and have performed at events such as Pickathon, Burning Man, Oregon Public Broadcasting's Live Wire, the Northwest Folklife Festival in Seattle , Oregon Country Fair, and were the house band at the Candidates Gone Wild at the Roseland Theater.
