CAC to present concert on December 4

The Clatskanie Arts Commission presents Never Come Down, in concert, Sunday, December 4, 3 p.m., at Birkenfeld Theatre, 75 S. Nehalem in

Clatskanie.

After a national tour and a showcase at the recent IBMA Awards, the Clatskanie Arts Commission is excited to present this group as part of its 33rd annual Performing Arts Series.

Weaving together modern and traditional styles of bluegrass and americana, Never Come Down is a Portland, Oregon based 5-piece composed of Joe Suskind (guitar), Crystal Lariza (vocals), Brian Alley (banjo), Kaden Hurst (mandolin), and Ben Ticknor (bass). Their dedication to thoughtful songwriting and dynamic arrangements highlights polished technical skills and a commitment to listening to each other.

Formed in 2018, the band’s self-titled debut arrived shortly thereafter, and their second album “Better Late Than Never” was released in 2021. The band has toured internationally and have found acclaim from festivals and venues such as Iceland Airwaves, John Hartford Memorial Fest, Americanafest, FreshGrass and RockyGrass where they were Band Competition winners in 2021.

Tickets are $20 for adults; $18 for seniors (60+) and students and $15 for children. Tickets may be purchased online at clatskaniearts.org or by calling Elsa at 503-728-3403.
