Middle of nowhere Sessions: Kelli Schaefer / And And And

The Middle of Nowhere Sessions concert series continues at the Gesa Power House Theatre on Friday, February 27 with Portland bands Kelli Schaefer and And And And.

Singer/songwriter Kelli Schaefer plays a style of rock music defined by passionate vocals and soul-searching lyrics. It’s rock music that encourages deep concentration as much as it does a slow roll of your hips; pop music that leaves a bittersweet aftertaste; folk music meant for a dark nightclub instead of your local coffeehouse.

And And And play modern rock with songs ranging from lo-fi garage pop to folksy ballads. Self described as "everyday misfits who have a pretty interesting band" their performance style is earnest, intense, and occasionally off-kilter.

Middle of Nowhere Sessions was created in 2011 by Reggie Mace and Beth Rahn in Dayton, OH with the goal of strengthening the independent music scene in the Pacific Northwest. The original concerts and recording sessions took place at Mace Mead Works in Dayton, and a partnership with Gesa Power House Theatre now expands concert venue options to Walla Walla.

The doors open at 7:00 p.m.; the show starts at 8:00 p.m. A beer and wine bar will be open in the Electric Lounge throughout the evening.

Tickets purchased in advance are $15 general admission; $10 for students. Tickets at the door are $18 general admission and $12 students.
