THE UNDERSCORE ORKESTRA
The Underscore Orkestra is a Portland, OR-based band playing a blend of Balkan, Klezmer, Gypsy jazz and swing, with a repertoire consisting of both original and traditional material from fast bulgars and melodious waltzes to odd meters and swinging rhythms. Their instrumentation includes violin, accordion, guitar, banjo, clarinet, horns, flute, harmonica, bass, vocals and percussion. Each of the members comes from various backgrounds and musical disiplines from as far away as Russia and as close as the Northwest. The Underscore Orkestra has been performing for the past 3 + years, touring all around the western U.S., Mexico and Guatemala and has been seen at intimate coffeeshop settings and huge outdoor festivals alike.

ENSEMBLE SUB MASA
An invitation from this wonderful Seattle Gypsy/Euro-folk quartet: "Psst! You. Yes, you. It's us, over here. The Ensemble Under the Table. Come with us. It's time for some music. Bring your dancing shoes and maybe a little flask of something distilled from plums or pears. We'll travel all over the east of the west — visit a Budapest café and a Transylvanian village, dance at a Jewish wedding and a Romani party, wander through the back streets of Bucharest to a little club for hot dance tunes from yesteryear. So come to the party! We welcome you with open arms."

KREBSIC ORKESTAR
The Krebsic Orkestar is a 15-piece brass band based in Portland, Oregon that
plays a gypsy-brass repertoire from the Balkan region. Formed in 2006,
The Krebsic Orkestar has already played locally at the Doug Fir Lounge, for the Metro City Council, the grand re-opening of the downtown Macy's, has played live on KMHD (89.1fm), and has played numerous other shows

ROSE CITY VAUDEVILLE
Welcome to the new age of vaudeville. Bringing together premiere practitioners of the antique and futuristic arts on a single stage, Rose City Vaudeville is a mad steampunk experiment worthy of Jules Verne - a new banner beneath which spectators and visionaries alike may gather to share in the unbridled amazements of the self-trained human animal.
