The Central Oregon (USA) 11th Hoedown For Hunger will take place at Bend's Community Center (BCC), 1036 NE 5th St, Bend, OR 97701 on Saturday, Nov. 5 beginning at 3 p.m. This event is kind of mini-festival that features local artists who donate their performances each year to help raise money for BCC's "Feed the Hungry" project. Many of Central Oregon's finest acoustic performers participate. This year's event will include Central Oregon's busiest performer Bobby Lindstrom as well as 10-year old fiddle phenomenon CJ Neary, a multiple winner at the National Old Time Fiddler's Championships to go along with state and regional titles. The music tends towards country, bluegrass and folk, but past shows have included some blues, celtic, and soul.

In addition to the music, the Hoedown also features a chili feed with a variety of chili recipes from restaurants and caterers of Central Oregon.

Hey everyone! Long time no see / hear!

I really miss being in the chat, but time just does not allow it these days. 

However, we are really excited to announce our new single: THIS IS WHAT WE DO . 

This song was inspired by my son Robin while he had to go through radiation treatment last year in Florida [he was 8 back then]. It is a song about special people in our lives - some call them angels. 

Anyway, as always we hope you'll enjoy our new tune.

Halloween is approaching fast. How is everyone doing on their tunes? Mixposure's Annual Halloween Song Submissions is upon! 

If you have not done a Halloween Tune before with Mixposure, here is how it works. Just create you best spooky/scariest song. It can have vocals or not and you can use any genre you like It is entirely up to you. When you post your song, please use a genre of Halloween 2016 so we can track them and post audio players with all of the songs. Around Halloween, we will play all the songs on a radio broadcast. 

Good luck!!

Hi all!

So, I first want to say a HUGE thanks to each and every one of you who have supported my return to Mixposure. For those of you who may not know, I used to be active here under my old stage name, Al Chantrey. I now credit myself under my real name, Al Williams. 

I had to take some time out for a multitude of reasons, but I am now writing and recording again with my wife, JJ, and we have formed a singer-songwriter duo, Little Fable. 

We have been writing and recording together for the past two years; blood, sweat, tears... our souls--it has been a magical and fantastical journey, and our new album is complete and contains pieces of everything that makes us who we are. This album is very much US, and very much everything we have always worked hard to be. We have decided against over-produced material and just gone with the live-and-raw feel, with some additional instrumentation where we felt necessary, and we are very proud of what we have achieved. It is our pleasure to share our child here with you.

We both thank you from our hearts for your support--it means more than you know.

Special thanks, also, to Toni (Barefoot) for spinning our tracks and believing in us. 

Our album is available here, of course, but you can also get it via our site and Bandcamp:
littlefablemusic.com  +  littlefable.bandcamp.com/album/freedom-other-stories

Thanks again, guys, and enjoy!

Al & JJ (Little Fable)

Word is all over the internet that Angelina filed for divorce from Brad. I know most of us are devastated. I debated on starting a Mixposure-Brangelina Support group in case anyone needs it. Feel free to use this post for now. After the Halloween Song maybe we can so a site song in their honor .  I know we have a Presidential Race coming up and some wacky terrorist things happening but Hollywood is much more important.
