Pete Droge's appearance at The Churchill School will be his first ever show in Baker City. He will be joined by his partner in life and music, Elaine Summers. The intimate acoustic evening will feature fan favorites and deep cuts from his 1994 American Recordings debut, Necktie Second, which is getting the double vinyl deluxe treatment this Fall. The set will also lean heavily on material from his new studio album, Fade Away Blue. (Out August 22 on Puzzle Tree/Missing Piece Records.) Recorded with Grammy-winning producer Paul Bryan (Aimee Mann), the collection is largely autobiographical, built on a series of dreamy, cinematic snapshots from throughout Droge’s life. The songs are bittersweet, balancing longing and gratitude in equal measure. The arrangements are warm and inviting, with a spotlight fixed firmly on Droge’s tender lyrics and understated delivery. The result is an album a lifetime in the making, a rich, revelatory sonic memoir that faces down doubt and despair with love, resilience, and commitment at every turn.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to see this acclaimed singer-songwriter.
