Doors open at 6pm, show 7-9pm. Tickets are $25 + fees.Jerry Joseph is a musician who lives in Portland Oregon, but he’s often gone. He’s been inducted into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame but is still rather obscure to a lot of people. He plays well over 150 shows a year in the usual places. Across America. Sometimes in Europe, Mexico, and Central America. Then there’s these other places he plays—Lebanon, Israel, Kurdish Iraq, India, and Afghanistan. All over the Middle East, often in war zones and refugee camps.
In addition to his touring, Jerry has set up a non-profit called Nomad Music Foundation that acts as a sort of School of Rock for displaced teenagers in areas of conflict. So far, he has taken guitars and taught lessons in camps in Kabul, Afghanistan, and Sulaymaniyah and Dahuk, both in Kurdish Iraq. These life-changing missions have been written up in Rolling Stone, Relix, and PBS News Hour.
A triple threat—someone who works at the highest levels as a songwriter, singer, and player. Jason Isbell, who kinda personifies such, recently tweeted about triple threats and listed Jerry Joseph (along with Richard Thompson and St. Vincent) among the greatest examples of that phenomenon.
Most likely, if you know who Jerry is, you agree, but there’s also a big chance that you don’t. His talent, drive, work ethic, amazing body of work, and flat out badass-ness make him one of the most underrated and tragically overlooked artists alive today. He deserves better, and I’m hoping to help shine a light on who and what Jerry Joseph is and why you should listen to what he’s doing and saying.

Travis Shallow
Travis Shallow is an American singer-songwriter, musician, and recording artist.
He is best known for his steady solo career, but in recent years has also become sought after as a producer and co-writer. Shallow also founded the independent record label, Pearly Girl Records.
After 20+ years of writing songs and performing, Shallow spends most of his time now at his newly built recording studio on his property on the coast in Wilmington, NC. With his touring schedule scaled back since the world shut down in 2020, it seems that he’s still never been busier. Producing other songwriters and self-producing his own music, he’s carved out a niche in the music world that has no strings attached and is independent and thriving.
