About Lewi Longmire

Roots-rock Americana

Lewi Longmire

Lewi Longmire has built a reputation as Portland's multi-instrumentalist "go to guy." In the years since relocating to Portland from Albuquerque, New Mexico, he's been included on shows and recordings by many of the Northwest's finest bands and songwriters. He's played with national acts Michael Hurley, Victoria Williams, Dolorean, AgesandAges, Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside, Blue Giant/Viva Voce/The Robinsons, Dolorean, the Minus 5, Breathe Owl Breathe and Tara Jane O'Neill as well as local luminaries Denver, The Portland Country Underground, Midlo/Pancake Breakfast, Quiet Life, Fernando, James Low, Perhapst, Electric Ill, Little Sue, Casey Neill, Michael Jodell, the Freak Mountain Ramblers, and is an anchor member of Portland's all-star tribute to the Allman Brothers, Brothers and Sister. 

Recently, though, Lewi has taken all the things he learned from working with these fine performers and has been spending his time leading a roots rock/americana band of his own, singing his own compositions. This group owes much to the American tradition of good songs played with high energy, deep roots, and an unpretentious sense of fun. Their sound finds the connection between the basement feel of The Band, the raspy blue-eyed soul of Joe Cocker, the desert space of Giant Sand, the "without a net" deep space improvisations of the San Francisco ballrooms, the punk abandon of The Stooges and the quiet contemplation of Neil Young playing solo.

About Anita Lee Elliott

Anita Lee Elliott

Anita Lee Elliott (formerly Anita Robinson), singer, guitar slinger and songwriter based out of Portland, OR. For the last decade, Anita has been performing worldwide and releasing critically acclaimed albums as one half of the indie rock duo Viva Voce.  

Having made a name for herself as an inspired lead guitarist with a knack for lovely vocal harmonies (she sang on the Shins' stellar 'Wincing the Night Away'), she now steps into the spotlight, performing select songs from past and present projects, including Viva Voce, raucous southern rock group Blue Giant, and Portland's Bluegrass-inspired female trio, Calico Rose.
