SUREL’S PLACE PRESENTS: REEB WILLMS & CALEB KLAUDER

Saturday, August 2ndDoors 7:00pm | Show 8:00pm

The melody of a song can come back to us over and over throughout our lives, but a Surel’s Place resident coming back to our community is not as common. Surel’s Place is pleased to present Alumna Artist-in-Residence Reeb Willms with Caleb Klauder, a country roots music duo bringing soulful harmonies, driving dance tunes, and classic original songs. It’s been 6 years since Reeb’s artist residency at Surel’s Place where she led harmony singing workshops and developed her own original songwriting. She shared this personal music for the first time at The Audio Lab and now one of those songs, “All About Love,” is her first ever published song in the their new album, Gold In Your Pocket (2024). Join Surel’s Place at the Visual Arts Collective to listen to heartfelt music, tunes both new and old, and celebrate hardworking artists and our vibrant arts community.

ABOUT CALEB AND REEB

Caleb Klauder and Reeb Willms live in the San Juan Islands of Washington, though until recently, home was Portland, OR. They are foundational to the exceptional old-time and country music scene in the Pacific NW with the Caleb Klauder Reeb Willms Country Band and their membership in the Foghorn Stringband, of which Caleb was a founding member. Charismatic performers, they bring their unique set of talents to the stage with an eye towards good times and an ear towards the deepest songs and tunes.

Caleb Klauder and Reeb Willms both originally hail from Washington State: Caleb from the coastal islands, and Reeb from the high desert plateau. The two have come together in music and are hailed as some of the most compelling musicians making country roots music in America today. When these two sing together, their honest incantations leave us spell-bound and smiling.

Their repertoire is made up of original songs and tunes as well as gems from American roots repertoires, and the music they make is Americana in the truest sense of the word. Music is clearly in their blood. Caleb and Reeb’s originals and interpretations of songs have been covered and recorded by many performers and their musical presence reaches into a diverse and loyal fanbase, giving creedance to the impact that this duo has on their listeners. Pillars of the Northwest music scene, they carry the torch of their music around the world, and can be found touring as a duo, as well as with the Caleb Klauder Reeb Willms Country Band, their bluegrass band the Cali Cutups, and with the Foghorn Stringband. Their fans exude admiration for the timeless sound that these two produce, capturing the essence of American roots music.

Idaho Gives BEGINS!

Join Surel’s Place for a special kick-off event for Idaho Gives. Held annually, Idaho Gives encompasses the span of 4 philanthropic days (May 4th – 7th) where the community comes together in support of its nonprofits by raising money and raising awareness. We are pleased to present the Sean Hatton Trio at Surel’s Place in support of this statewide enterprise. Join us with the Sean Hatton Trio to celebrate our mission – to support artists by providing them time and space to explore their creative process, cultivating a connected, vibrant, and inspiring community.

“Called one of Idaho’s best by the Idaho Statesman – The building harmonies and talents of vocalist Sean Hatton might take you back to the days when Crosby, Stills, and Nash were kings of folk. The band’s sound is unabashedly Americana at its best.” – Amy Busek / Idaho Mountain Press

GET TICKETS!

Get Ready. We only hold the Shrinky Dink Art Auction every other year, so if you miss it, you’ll have to wait two more years. What is it? It’s our biggest fundraiser that features the artwork of dozens of talented local artists who are asked to use (at first take) the unassuming, crafty, children’s art toy of Shrinky Dinks, which are bake-able, shrinkable plastic sheets. But, (at second take) the art material becomes limitless, elevated, surprising, and utterly creative. The ante always goes up, and this unusual art exhibition is not to miss.

On top of our Shrinky Dink Art Auction, we will parteeee with buskers, a DJ, a tarot card reader, refreshing food and beverages, a photo booth, and more. Dessert will be deliciously provided by a fellow nonprofit organization, Life’s Kitchen. Another festive aspect of the night: a live auction and paddle raise, so look forward to coming together to raise money for Surel’s Place while having a good time and celebrating art and community.

Oh, and the theme this year is Pop Art, so prepare for bold color, nods to popular culture, and soup cans 🙂

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS:

P.S. There is an art preview party the night before during the District-wide First Friday Art & Studio Stroll.
