On Saturday the Oregon Shadow Theatre presents their show “The green bird: a Mexican story” as part of the on going series “puppets on the rock.” The company are preforming under the auspices of the Lopez based Northwest Puppet Center. The center’s creative directors, Chris and Stephen Carter, received requests for puppet theatre appropriate for all ages, and so the idea for the “puppets on the rock” series was born. This was designed to organize and host a variety of quality puppet theatre, and Saturday’s show promises to be just that.

Ian McFeron broke into the Seattle music scene after his self-produced debut album “Don’t Look Back” (2003) was discovered by “The Mountain” in Seattle (KMTT 103.7 FM). An independent and virtually unknown local artist at the time, McFeron’s heartfelt lyrics and tightly composed songs inspired the Seattle media giant to put the album’s lead-off single, “Love Me Twice,” into rotation.
