THIS EVENING’S PROGRAM:

“Ibis Mating Dance” by Ollie Sims 

“Creating Good Sounds Together” by Betty Booher 

Group improv by members of Friends After Good Sound 

Friends After Good Sound is a queer-identified new music collective focused exclusively on bringing new works by local PDX composers to life. We seek to be a vehicle that lowers the barriers of access to performing new musical works for artists and composers of the Pacific Northwest. New work is the pulse of any good music scene; it's exciting, it’s overrated, it doesn't work, it changes minds and fires the imagination. Without new work,  concerts can be boring, predictable and prescribable. F.A.G.S. isn't that. Currently, we are composed of four core-members; James T. Hickey, Chanchito Loko, Mia Chavez Lysaght and Michael Anderson, all of which are multi-instrumentalist that come from a wide variety of musical backgrounds.
