Peninsula Arts Center hosts Matt Brown and Michael Jodell

LONG BEACH, Wash. – The Peninsula Arts Center will host the gorgeous vocals of Miss Michael Jodell and the fine guitar work of Matt Brown at 3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 19. Doors will open at 2:30 p.m. and tickets will be $12 at the door.

Born in Lander, Wyo., Jodell grew up singing harmony to classic country standards with her Grandmother Audrey. Jodell’s singing and songwriting drew on that foundation, mixing in layers of jazz, roots rock and melody, to create a sound that stretches far beyond her classic country roots. Currently living in Portland, her melodies and lyrics draw from lush, sweeping landscapes, and are narrated by a voice described as “full of torch and smoke.”

Brown is one of the Northwest’s most in-demand players. Formerly leader of the popular Portland band The Baseboard Heaters, he now divides his time between his recording studio, playing in Storm Large’s band, and other projects. Peninsula Arts Center regulars will remember him from his concert with RedRay Frazier last September.

The Peninsula Arts Center is located at 504 Pacific Ave. N. For more information, visit http://peninsulaartscenter.org
