MaMuse (“Ma” as in Mamma; “Muse” as in the one who inspires) is coming to Portland with their band for an evening of music to uplift the spirits and rejuvenate the soul: a tune-up for the heart. Wholeheartedly fed by the folk and gospel traditions, MaMuse (Sorah Nutting and Karisha Longaker) create uplifting music to inspire the world into thriving. Interweaving brilliant and haunting harmony with lyrics born of honed emotional intelligence, MaMuse invokes a musical presence that inspires the opening of the heart. Expect to enjoy unreleased songs from their upcoming album, old favorites and an audience inspired improv! Playing a family of varied acoustic instruments, including upright bass, guitar, mandolins, and flutes, while backed by guitar and keys, these two powerful women embody a love for all life. The synergy created through this musical connection is palpable and truly moving to witness. “Weaving extraordinary voices with surprising syncopation, MaMuse’s soulful folk commitment is evident with every note.” ”Vocal bliss” — Dan DeWayne, California WorldFest With seventeen delicious years of co-creation and five full length albums under their belts, MaMuse keep their hearts tuned to the creation of music for the health of ALL BEINGS. The evening will be started with a beautiful set by Mariee Siou.
