Oktoberfest

Oktoberfest means celebration and beer - so we're serving up tasty German-style specials, plenty of beer, and live music as a backdrop to it all.

Oktoberfest Lager

We make this lager only once each year for our annual celebration - but it's great for drinking anytime or place! Turn up the accordion, pour a pint in the autumn sun, and celebrate harvest season and beer with us.

Tribal Heart BellyDance

Tribal Heart Bellydance is an improvisational dance troupe based in Portland, Oregon, whose style of dance began in this area more than 20 years ago. We are women of all ages and sizes who celebrate life and engage community through dance, just as women have been doing since ancient times. With roots in cultures around the world, we offer this powerful and positive collective energy with our dance and music. Special guests include Jewels and dance company Instar Alchemy, who seeks to bring joy, beauty, magic mystery and grace to every performance.

Festival Brass

Festival Brass performs traditional, authentic Bläsermusik up and down the West Coast. The group’s fun-loving programs are thoroughly rooted in German folk and festival music; they are the “real deal.” The group combines energetic performances with exceptional musicianship to deliver a memorable entertainment experience.

The City Jellyroll Society

With a unique sound somewhere between ragtime, blues, early jazz, and jugband music, the **** City Jellyroll Society delivers a driving syncopated swing that gets dancers out on the floor. Influenced by artists of the 1920s and 30s like Bessie Smith, The Harlem Hamfats, Memphis Minnie, and Blind Boy Fuller, this wild bunch of fun-loving musicians have a few originals in their repertoire as well.

Lewi And the Left Coast Roasters

Good songs, deep roots and fun

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

Helping achieve this are THE LEFT COAST ROASTERS, a band of stalwart Portland musicians. Bill Rudolph (bass and vocals) played with the Crackpots and Little Sue for years, driving their home crowd into an energetic frenzy with his low tones. Ned Folkerth (drums) has toured the world over with many groups, including the midwest's Pinetop Seven and Portland's own Caleb Klauder Band, always laying down the perfect groove to cure whatever ails ya. Newest addition Dan Eccles (guitar) has most often been seen in the band Richmond Fontaine or backing up local rock legend Fernando.

Swiss Alphorns

Gayle and Phil Neuman will perform a program of Swiss music on a pair of traditional alphorns. These 12 foot long wooden horns, originally used to call cows in from the hillsides, are played like brass instruments but the notes are reached without the use of keys or valves. Also, Swiss dances played on a pair of flageolets will be included.

Darka Dusty & The Borshch Beatnicks

Old World Soul Music

Darka Dusty is a life-long musician living in Portland, Oregon. As a singer, Darka is known for her big voice and likes to genre-hop from blues to jazz to country as well as sing in Ukrainian, the language of her ancestors.
