ANNA FRITZ

We're going to the beach! My long-time collaborator David Waingarten and I are playing out at the lovely Sou'wester Lodge on the Long Beach peninsula just north of Astoria, Washington. The show itself is free! We'll be playing in the cozy living room of the main lodge building where you can get a room, or stay in one of their cool vintage trailers. There's a sauna and the beach is about a block away. It's a good excuse to get away for the weekend, reconnect with the great waters of the Pacific, and steep your soul in healing music. And you'll get 20% off your lodging if you tell 'em you're coming to see us!

David and I will each play our own sets, but I'll be contributing some cello to David's songs. If you want a taste of what that's like, I played all over his last record. You can listen to it here!

"Paul Susi plays 'The Poet,' who gives an impassioned telling of the story of the Trojan War. He's joined by Anna Fritz, who composed and performs original cello music for the play. The music she creates is haunting and beautiful – capturing both the thunder of war and the soft mourning of death. When Fritz, a Portland folksinger, finally shares her voice with the audience, it's an ethereal sound, as if from the Muses themselves."

Public performances in Portland, Oregon

Sunday, October 28th and Sunday, November 4th

BUY TICKETS HERE!

We are one week into our five-week tour of correctional facilities in Oregon and tickets are now available for the two public performances we'll be giving. It is proving to be a profoundly moving experience, sharing this work with people who are living in prison. The connection felt in these rooms has been deep and the post-show talk backs full of hearts brimming with gratitude, both on the stage and in the audiences. Please join us as we perform this play on the outside - bridging the divide in our community made by prison walls.

I'm writing a score for the play An Iliad and we'll be touring it to prisons in Oregon this fall. The Portland Tribune ran a feature story about this project. Click on the image below to read it!

I'm composing and performing the music for this play touring prisons all over Oregon this fall.

I’m deeply honored to be featured in an interview and on the cover of the latest issue of Western Friend Magazine. The music I put into the world grows from deep Quaker roots.  I speak in this interview about how that spiritual path and the Quaker community help anchor my work. Read more here.

I was interviewed recently by the brilliant queer Quaker performance artist Peterson Toscano for his show on Citizen's Climate Radio. We talked about connection to the land, right relationship to indigenous peoples, and direct action. Check it out and share with your friends!

This is a brand new song of mine, not yet released, called "Send Somebody." It speaks to the helplessness I know many of us are feeling in this unbelievable time. And it asks us to listen deeply - to that still small voice - for how we are being called to act.

HUGE thanks to Tos Fackenthall for the opportunity to perform at Fremont Abbey in Seattle, WA (April 25, 2017), and for this beautiful video!

After countless years of travel and gathering inspiration, M. Henry began writing and singing his own songs as King Roy Wing. The Southern Oregon band has a style developed from a passion for good humor, Thai curry, and Made in America folk music. They create beautiful folk songs, with an occasional spattering of gritty punk raw energy. Think early Avett Brothers if there were a few women in the group -with the addition of some fresh homemade blackberry jam, bread, and butter. Listen at www.kingroywing.com.

It is a great joy to share the stage once again with the one-man-revolution that is Seth Martin! In the tradition of such folk legends as Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and Utah Phillips, his songs and stories are relevant, moving, and crucial in our times. I hope you won't miss his only Portland appearance this year! It's an early show, so get yourself back from the river in plenty of time to order a pizza and get your folk on!
