Thirsty Thursday - Story and Tune Duo

Performances will take place inside the tasting room during winter weather months and then out on the patio as soon as the weather allows. The tasting room is open from 4-9 pm with music from 6-8 pm. Seating both indoors and on the patio will be on a first-come, first-served basis (feel free to bring your own chairs.) For groups of 6 or more, please contact Chemeketa Cellars for reserved seating. Award-winning, student-made wine along with beer, cider and charcuterie platters are available in the tasting room, or bring your own picnic.

Aussie singer-songwriter Ben Grace and Californian poet Karyn Thurston met for the first time weeks after they first said I love you, a blush-worthy whirlwind love story that landed them in a creative partnership writing a torrent of original songs. Story & Tune is the marriage of her words and his melodies (though they’ve been known to switch roles from time to time.) Driven by folk-americana’s long history of lyrical storytelling, the harmony-driven duo’s songs are a unique blend of heart, ache, and laughter, all grounded in the unwavering belief that belonging is an essential human right.

Story & Tune are a blend of Woody Guthrie’s commitment to a better world with the rise and fall drama of a ballad by The Civil Wars. They’re the story you tell about an evening in Over the Rhine’s barn where too much whiskey leads to a flirty, irreverent guest appearance by Johnny & June. Whether they are sharing unforgettable modern folk originals about ghosts, good boundaries, and hard goodbyes, or leading a bar sing-along of your favorite cover tunes, you won’t leave a Story & Tune show without feeling a little seen, a little celebrated, and a little more hopeful than you did before you came.
