We’ll start with warm apple cider, followed by a creamy butternut squash bisque and a crisp autumn salad with baby gem greens, toasted pumpkin seeds, and late tomatoes tossed in a fresh herb vinaigrette. Then it’s on to the main course: a rich, slow-braised harvest ragu made with beef, pork, and lamb, served over creamy polenta. For dessert, we’re keeping it classic—homemade apple crisp with vanilla whipped cream. We’ll have iced tea and coffee, too.

It’s $75 per person, and we’re keeping it small and intimate. If that sounds like your kind of evening, we’d love to have you at the table.

Join us for a fun evening of music with The Lowest Pair. Craft beer by Short Story Brewing. Doors open at 5pm.

“Kendl Winter and Palmer T. Lee, both playing guitar and banjo and trading vocals; hers an achingly beautiful distinctive tone that complements his smoky delivery to perfection.“– Americana UK, The Lowest Pair at The Green Note, London By David Allen

“If you listen to no other bands or musical outfits in the Americana genre …listen to The Lowest Pair.“

-No Depression on Fern Girl & Ice Man

During the spring and summer of 2020, The Lowest Pair (Kendl Winter and Palmer T. Lee) found themselves camping and sharing songs around the fire with two dear friends and incredible musicians Adam Roszkiewicz and Leif Karlstrom of the instrumental duo “Small Town Therapy”. Founding members of the progressive string band Front Country, multi-instrumentalists Adam and Leif bring a new dynamic palette of colors to Kendl and Palmer’s own instrumental prowess and expressive lyricism.

After sharing a handful of new songs and tunes, (and making immediate fans in the campground) there was no doubt that a record was in the future, and In August of 2020 they spent a week out in Enterprise, Oregon recording at the OK Theater.

Their latest record Horse Camp. leans towards each member’s string band roots and showcases brand new Lowest Pair songs Kendl and Palmer wrote during the strange times of the pandemic. The album also includes an instrumental by each musician involved. It’s an awesome display of how a simple collaboration of friends can result in music that is as organic as it is undeniable.
