Friday, February 09, 2024

7:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Venue: The Ruins

Artist: Ashleigh Flynn and The Riveters, Mawlee Jones Band & Slutashia

Host Shandi Evans is a big sparkly force to be reckoned with. She has been wiggling around theaters, stealing people's money, and wearing Crocs for 9 fabulous years! Quoted as “The Ziwe of Portland”, watch in awe as this Persian enby beauty crosses lines only she can cross. And yes, she is very, very pretty.

With what Pop Matters describes as "tenacious swagger," locally acclaimed solo artist Ashleigh Flynn, from Portland, Oregon, recently dialed up the volume and debuted an all-female rock band as a nod to the “Rosie the Riveter” archetype from WWII.

Ashleigh Flynn & The Riveters’ inaugural LP hit the streets in 2018 featuring a sound that hearkens back to early Stones, ‘70s psychedelic country rock, and alternately charms like a Sunday afternoon front porch session. Produced by her longtime musical collaborator, Chris Funk of the Decemberists, the 10 original tracks feature Flynn’s soulful vocals and compelling brand of songwriting, amped-up and virtuously enveloped by the electric guitar work of Nancy Luca. Luca honed her style and skill playing with Tom Petty and Bo Diddley. 

Reverberating raunchy tonk from the Pacific Northwest, The Mawlee Jones Band is rounding up delinquents with hootin’, tootin’, out-ball-country. This band of bizarre bandits have a twangy, swamp-witch sound that is punishably good— from belly-aching ballads to fruity cowboy rendezvous tales, they’re confessing the reality of backwoods queer love and eroticism. 

Darn tootin’, Mawlee Jones is a concept— representing the trials and tribulations of the journey towards authenticity; they simultaneously navigate their fluid, complex internal landscape and the external trek, seeking the right environment to live and love freely. Written and performed by the queers, for the queers. 

Slutashia is a multi-talented rapper and drag artist from Eugene, Oregon. She possesses a modern-day hip-hop aura and delivers her original rhymes with strong power. She has had the pleasure of opening up for other queer artists such as God Des, Wreckno & Big Freedia.
