Three for Silver to play at McMenamins Sand Trap

GEARHART — Portland trio Three For Silver will perform from 7 to 10 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 15 at the McMenamins Sand Trap Pub, located at 1157 N. Marion Ave. The show is free and open to all ages.

Three For Silver represents a curious hybrid of acoustic music. The twin melodies of Willo Sertain’s smooth vocals and Greg Allison’s violin glide atop of chugging polyrhythms of Lucas Warford’s homemade bass instruments and the idiosyncratic style in which they are played.

Three For Silver evoke a timeless sense of mystery, singing songs of prophecies, drunken rambles, ancient kings and heartbreaks.

Described by Baby Gramps as “the acid baby of Tom Waits and Vicgtor Wooten,” Three For Silver combines a gritty aesthetic, world-folk traditions, and virtuosic technique with a modern songwriting sense.
