Fall Into Wine and Music Fun on Central Oregon Coast

Kevin Selfe and the Tornadoes performs on September 25 in Yachats.

(Yachats, Oregon) – From special dinners, wine tasting, to loads of live music – including a national blues/zydeco act – Yachats' hills and beaches are alive with music and frivolity. Besides the glory of nature, there’s much to indulge in on this part of the central Oregon coast throughout the latter half of September.

The Wine Place features wine tasting each Saturday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. These are free. But there’s also

The Wine Place is on Highway 101, Yachats, Oregon. www.iloveoregonwine.com or call 541-547-5275. 

September  19. Spanish Wines. Spain now boasts over 2.9 million acres planted – making it the most widely planted wine-producing nation.  Amy Paul of Mitchell wines will be presenting wines from Spain. 

The Wine Shop in Yachats

September 26. Flying Dutchman. Flying Dutchman Winery is perched on a cliff in Otter Rock. The winery has been making wine since 1997 and many feel the salt air is what makes the wine so unique. Meet owner/winemaker Richard Cutler in his first visit to The Wine Place.

Friday, September 18. 6 p.m. Northwest Nouveau Wine Dinner. $50 per person, limited seating, reservations and advance payment required.  Wines presented by Amy Paul of Mitchell Wines.

The menu consists of:

Intermezzo:  Lemon sorbet and Dewey Kelley early Muscat (OR).

September 18. One Way Out. Blues and rock influences in a hot stew. These guys arrive here from South, East, and West in a blend of voices and styles unique to their new home on the Oregon Coast.  The four core players are all veterans with lots of recording and road time. Steve Sloan brings his razor guitar riffs from Long Island; Steve Cannon is the bands’ California kid with that recognizable Bay Area feel to his singing and rhythm guitar; Richard Silen, on bass and vocals, has absorbed the Austin feel; and Carl Popham, the token Oregonian, puts the icing on the sound with his vocals and harp work.

Kolvane (courtesy photo)

September 19. Kolvane. Rockin' Portland band with a Cashbox No. 1 single. Kolvane's "Cool Baby" single held the No. 1 spot in the Blues Singles category for two months on Cashbox Magazine's music chart earlier this year, no small achievement for an independent band from Portland, its name right there next to Elvin Bishop, The Mannish Boys and Tab Benoit. Only a couple of years ago, Kolvane's brand of progressive blues morphed from the Rose City Kings to what we have today - a rollicking style where Kolvane's crash energy is played against the swamp synergy of Louisiana keyboard monster Steve Kerin. www.myspace.com/kolvanemusic

September 24. Curley Taylor and Zydeco Trouble. Curley Taylor has been in zydeco music all of his life. At 16, he started playing in his father's band, Jude Taylor & His Burning Flames, and by 25, Curley had played with Steve Riley, John Hart, "Lil" Bob of the Lollipops, and his uncles, "Lil Buck" Senegal and  Wayne "Blue" Burns. He traveled with the legendary Clifton Chenier, switched from drums to accordion and formed his new band. The Times of Acadiana  (Lafayette, La.) says: "Taylor may be the freshest zydeco act to come along since Beau Jocque. Instead of the usual nursery rhymes about dogs, donkeys, goats, and chickens, Taylor's lyrics tell stories and make sense. The tunes have a contemporary R&B and blues edge that can be enjoyed by someone two-stepping in Carencro or cruising along the Golden Gate Bridge." www.myspace.com/curleytaylorandzydecotrouble

September 25. Kevin Selfe and the Tornadoes. Since relocating in Portland in 2007, Kevin has established himself as a solid bluesman and a brilliant guitarist, nominated six times for Muddy Awards. He's been doing this most of his life, joining his first band in 1997 at age 23 in his hometown of Roanoke, Va. Before moving to Portland he played over 1,500 gigs in 15 states, conquering a wide circle of East Coast venues. But his new start in the Northwest has given him a fresh outlook, a boatload of new fans and a deep 
appreciation from the blues community. He's just put out his second CD, "Playing The Game," 10 originals played with Don Shultz, the long-time Portland drummer and newly transplanted New Yorker Allen Markel on bass. www.kevinselfe.com/

September 26. North of West. Keyboard driven jazz and blues with a European base. Terry "Fingerprince" Reniex, a native of France, has performed around the globe, including a memorable Stevie Wonder tribute in the Mercadante in Naples, one of the oldest theaters in the world. He moved to Eugene where he studied music and has performed with many different people and acts. North of West is his latest project and is joined by the Afro-Cuban percussion of Carlito Sway from Orlando, Florida. www.myspace.com/northofwest
