KALA presents artist Kathryn Claire and trio at 8pm on Friday, October 18 in support of her new release Eastern Bound For Glory. After a decade on the road and in studios as a side person supporting countless talented artists, the Portland, Oregon-based singer-songwriter returns home to give herself fully to her unique brand of alt-folk. Her latest album, “Eastern Bound For Glory”, is inspired by her life on the road, experiencing the emotional rollercoaster of being an interna- tionally touring musician. The masterful 10-song release signifies a home- coming to her solo career and back to her beloved city. Intriguingly, it’s an aesthetic departure from her previous work in that the record explores bold indie rock instrumentation and vibey spaghetti western atmospher- ics. The album will be preceded by the single “Eastern Bound For Glory.” Honest and poetic writing, crystalline vocals, impassioned violin com- Friday positions, and an ability to move seamlessly across genres, are the hall- mark of Kathryn Claire’s original and diverse sound. Utilizing the immense talent of her trio featuring Allen Hunter on bass, and Sid Ditson on violin, October Kathryn Claire delivers her own unique brand of harmonic alt-folk music. Doors open at 7:30. Tickets are $15 at the door. 16+ please. Full Bar. 18 Kala is an intimate performance space located at 1017 Marine Drive in Astoria. 503-338-4878.
