A unique concert series titled “Songs of Power & Protest” is set to take place at Trout Lake Hall on December 6, 2023. The event will feature twelve talented songwriters from across the Pacific Northwest, who will perform original protest songs created specifically for this occasion. The series aims to inspire and unite audiences through music, highlighting its role in social change.
Hosted by Rose Gerber, a Portland-based artist known for her eclectic blend of country, folk, rock, and alt-country, this concert promises a rich musical experience. Gerber, who has built a reputation as an American roots explorer, has shared stages with notable acts such as Big Richard, Margo Cilker, and Never Come Down. Her performances have graced various iconic festivals across the Northwest, including Pickathon and Treefort Music Festival.
Exciting Lineup of Artists
The concert will showcase a diverse array of artists including Matt Mitchell, Jim Brunberg, Crystal Lariza, Erin Adkission, Zach Markezich, William Surly, Kyle Patrick Kregan, Jordan Krinsky, Shiloh Mae, Tim Karplus, Katie Waterland, and Gerber herself. Each artist will present both an original protest song and a cover of a personal favorite protest anthem, adding depth and variety to the evening.
According to a press release, the essence of the concert lies in the collective purpose of the music: “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.” This concert not only serves as a platform for established artists but also as a space for emerging voices to resonate with audiences committed to social activism.
