Alton Takiyama-Chung

Alton Takiyama-Chung grew up with the stories, superstitions, and magic of the Hawaiian Islands. This, combined with his Japanese and Korean roots, gives him a unique perspective to tell cultural tales and personal stories with a deep sense of reverence and authenticity. Not only does he breathe life into traditional Asian folktales with sensitivity and deep connection, but he can also touch into the fire of ancient Hawaiian legends and tell them with passion and respect. Alton enjoys telling true stories of the Japanese-Americans during WWII. However, his true passion is telling ghost stories.

Three-Fingered Jack

With an unbridled love for their music, Corvallis-based Three Fingered Jack taps into the deep roots of the Celtic world. They are known for driving dance sets punctuated by proud and clear traditional ballads, tightly harmonized waltzes, and the occasional drinking song. The band takes their name from the Cascades peak of the same name, paying homage to the power of this land and the roots the band members set down here in Western Oregon.
