Bright Red Paper plays cello-driven rock Saturday, Nov. 11, at the Cannery Cafe Lounge. Submitted photo.

Portland band Bright Red Paper brings its virtuosic, dynamic, ambient-but-high-energy cello-driven music back to the Cannery Café Lounge at 9 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 11. There is no cover charge.

The quartet in-cludes Douglas Jenkins on cello, Eben Dickinson on percussion, Arcellus Sykes on bass and Daniel Enberg playing guitar and singing. The music is what happens when a guitarist brought up on Northwest indie rock matches wits with a classically-trained cellist. Throw into the mixture a jazz-obsessed five-string bassist and a drummer who has toured in jazz, reggae and surf bands, and you have a combination that is both calming and explosive. The music is primarily instrumental. Because of the four players’ drastically different musical tastes, the conglomeration of influences tends to inspire diverse audiences to flock to the ensemble’s performances.

The Cannery Café Lounge is located at No. 1 Sixth St. in Astoria. For more information, call (503) 325-8642 or go online to www.cannerycafe.com
