Briana Renea - Country Singer/Songwriter
Friday, August 11th, 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Briana Renea comes by her country roots naturally, growing up on a rural farm in Canby,
Oregon in the heart of the Pacific Northwest. Her musical style is greatly influenced by
her childhood growing up on 80’s rock and 90’s country. She released her EP “Red Lips
White Lies” in May 2015 and has just released a new EP “Chasin’ Trouble”. Her hard
work is paying off, having her new single “Chasin’ Trouble” placed in the Top 40 for the
Nashville Songwriters Association International’s in 2016. “Dirt Side” off of her first EP
“Red Lips White Lies” was chosen for the top 12 Best of NSAI Spring Training Award.
Nate Botsford – Live Music
Saturday, August 12th, 11:00am – 1:00pm
Popular Portland-based artist Nate Botsford’s hybrid style is a lifetime in
the making and the backbone of his latest release “Hourglass”. Nate began
playing piano when he was only five, but the Taylor acoustic guitar given
to him by his dad at age 14 became the instrument that has accompanied
him everywhere and helped to lay the foundation for his musical career.
That career has seen up to 300 shows a year for the last five years: Nate
has shared the stage with the eclectic likes of Eric Hutchinson, Barenaked
Ladies, James Bay, Ingrid Michaelson, and Lukas Graham, and calls upon
his influences of Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, and his big-band
pianist grandfather while crafting his music. His songs have received reg-
ular rotation radio play and won numerous awards, including 2015 Pro-
ject Aloft national songwriting contest judged by industry professionals.
Nate’s dream is to share his music with a wider national audience and to
leave his listeners with a lasting impression of singable melodies and
lyrics that, as Nate says, “Can feel were written just for them to find a glimmer of hope.”
