James Moors and Kort McCumber grew up in different places and listening to different kinds of music – classical, rock, bluegrass, you name it. But when they met ten years ago, they knew they’d found something golden. Since then, they’ve been cultivating their wide-ranging musical influences in songs that delve into love and life through haunting lyrics, soaring harmonies, and dazzling instrumental proficiency. As Grammy award-winning producer Lloyd Maines puts it, “these guys should be playing every major festival in the country. They bring it all to the stage and deliver it in a big way.” Moors & McCumber have also been called “a modern-day version of Crosby, Stills and Nash.” Don’t miss this third concert in CAE’s new Summer Concert Series!

Where Are the Elk? At the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce, this is one of the most asked questions we receive. We often have the answer, but not always! So, we decided to increase our chances of being able to direct folks by creating an event that partners local artists by installing elk-inspired pieces at local businesses. Everyone is encouraged to go visit each of the businesses acting as a host site to enjoy a wide variety of artwork. We are lucky to have some very established artists participating and some newer, younger artists just getting started. Where are the elk, you ask? Go to evergreenchamber.org for a map to all the locations! I will bet that while you are discovering some really awesome artwork, you will also find some local businesses that are new to you too! Artwork will be up for viewing until September 9th. Nancy Judge, President/CEO Evergreen Area Chamber of Commerce
