Upcoming Churchill events
Dean Johnson
w/ James Dean Kindle
Dec. 12th
Doors open at 6pm Show at 6:45pm
Not long after crossing beyond the neon into Al’s Tavern, one might catch murmurs drifting up and down the bar during Dean Johnson’s bartending shifts – nudges and whispers that he might just be the best songwriter in town. “Wait ’til you hear him sing. Just don’t ask him to do it, because he won’t. He might do another show this year, but probably not.” Al’s regulars, howsoever biased, speak of his talent like a family secret – Seattle folklore. How many times, and for how many years, has Dean elusively replied to some variation of the question, “When will there be a record?”
James Dean Kindle’s “Trail Mix” is his first full-length album in six years – is settin’ out to wrangle the emotions of the heart, just like a cowboy on the open range. This collection of ten songs from the Eastern Oregon singer-songwriter-performer explores all facets of romantic love through lyrics celebrating the western landscape and utilization of the song forms of western swing and cowboy trail songs.

Forest Ray
Doors at 6pm and show at 6:45pm
Forest Ray is a psychedelic rock project whose dedication to analog recording hasharbored a darker, older and more intimate sound. Forest Ray’s music combines guitar driven psychedelic rock with tinges of raw synth-laced post-punk, Tropicalia flute and uninhibited performances that embody the garage punk aesthetic that fueled the group’s creation.

We are so thankful for all of the support this project has received from the community, our friends and family. It’s hard to believe how much we have accomplished here at Churchill School since 2018 with the help of the community, friends, family, volunteer groups and complete strangers.
