Songwriter Circle with Cal Scott and Richard Moore, special guest Ashleigh Flynn

The first two Songwriter Circles were sellouts. Cal Scott, Richard Moore and their guest artists were a delightful surprise not only to their audience, but to each other as well. So we're going to build on that success, this time on the west side at O'Connor's in Multnomah Village, with special guest Ashleigh Flynn, Monday, December 5 at 7:00pm.

Ashleigh Flynn hails from Kentucky where she grew up foot stomping along the Ohio River as the steamboats and barges made their way to the muddy Mississippi. A songwriter of exceptional emotional depth and intelligence, Flynn is also an electrifying performer blessed with unbridled charisma and the voice of a fallen angel. (I didn't write that but I certainly can't argue with it. All I know is that her music just makes me smile.)

Ashleigh makes her home here in Portland, but tours all over the country and elsewhere, and has a stack of songwriting awards from festivals coast-to-coast.

The usual suspects bookending Beth will be Cal Scott, jack-of-many-genres who writes and performs with The Trail Band and Kevin Burke, and the word-witty and tunewise Richard Moore, likely to share a few more scenes from "Rain," his musical-in-the-works about Portland. Cal and Richard will also debut a song they promised to write based on suggestions from the audience at the last show.

Tickets are $10 each, from brownpapertickets.com or $12 at the door. The first two shows were sellouts, so jump on it soon.
