Join us as we host a Special Preview Artist Reception. Meet the
artist, enjoy refreshments, live music by Erin Cole-Baker and more
during this very special preview reception. 

 “I will be playing music for the rest of my life”
is the tag line on Erin Cole-Baker's website,
and one we applaud. This singer-songwriter grew up in New Zealand, in a
home filled with
acoustic music, jazz, blues, even classical piano.  As she grew older,
she began to realize how the music was influencing her life. Erin
now says that music is “her love and her passion, and she hopes to
share it with you.”

After moving to the States in 2005, Erin joined with
Erin Zurflu, to form a singing duo familiar to Sisters Folk Festival enthusiasts and fans everywhere as The Erins. Compelling
songwriting and thoughtful lyrics have pleased audiences across the country.

High Desert Gallery is honored to host Erin Cole-Baker
during the opening artist reception for Grace Bishko.

Friday, May 7, from 5 to 9pm. We will
host our monthly Bend, Oregon First Friday Gallery Walk Artist Reception. Meet
Grace, enjoy refreshments, live music by a Central
Oregon favorite,
Bellavia. 

Bellavia is a Central Oregon band featuring great music from many different genres, including jazz, blues and pop classics as well as some original material.   Enjoy the smooth styling of multi-instrumentalist, Kimberly Lakehomer on flute, soprano sax and vocals, Jim Erickson on bass, vocals, harmonica and keyboards and the guitar wizardry of Phil Cronin.   Bellavia is a pleasure to hear and their joy at the task is engaging.
