Singer-songwriter Heather Christie will perform with Philip Pelletier.

ASTORIA — Two expressive songwriters return to Astoria in a double bill: Cult of Orpheus presents Songcraft at the Voodoo Room, a performance with Heather Christie and Christopher Corbell.

The music will be new, but the room is bound to evoke the community of the 1990s when both artists were Astoria residents active in the North Coast music scene.

Christie and Corbell will perform at 9 p.m. Saturday, April 16 at the Voodoo Room, located at 1114 Marine Drive. The show is open to ages 21 and older, and there is no cover charge.

Christie brings the chiaroscuro energy of her lyrical and poignant voice, woven into original tapestries of acoustic guitar and harmony, supported by multi-instrumentalist Philip Pelletier.

Well-known as a Northwest singer-songwriter and performer, Christie relocated to Portland and became the voice of the multimedia family musical “Frogtown,” recording and touring with the successful production. With nuances of Joni Mitchell, Ricki Lee Jones and Ani Difranco, Christie has written and produced three albums.

Corbell was formerly active in Astoria poetry and roots-music circles. He went on to engage in the Portland indie classical scene, serving as a director of Classical Revolution PDX and composing and producing a successful one-act opera, “Viva’s Holiday.” Cult of Orpheus is Corbell’s opera and art-song vehicle .

Corbell brings to the Voodoo Room song settings of original sonnets, a fusion of poetry, singer-songwriter performance, and classical art-song composition. Local cellist Andrew Emlen will join Corbell for several songs.

Christie and Corbell will collaborate on a few numbers as well. The show promises to be rich and buoyed by community reunion.
