We are thrilled to welcome back Laura Gibson! Join us Saturday, June 20th for an incredible evening of songwriting.

Stella Jones opens the show at 6pm

Laura Gibson is an internationally acclaimed multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, producer and writer, born and raised in the small Oregon logging town of Coquille. Both literary and raw, with a love of traditional folk music and a bent toward experimentation, she has performed on four continents and had the distinct honor of playing the very first (and 200th) NPR Tiny Desk Concert. The New York Times has described her themes as “longing and instinct, and whether they can ever converge.” Her most recent album Goners (Barsuk/City Slang) was praised by NPR as “a gripping collection of songs about accountability and grief.” The Fader called it, "so incessantly beautiful that one cannot help but want to gently crack it open to get to its beating core.” Between albums three and four, Gibson earned an MFA in fiction writing from Hunter College, completing her thesis in the back of a tour van. Her essays have appeared in Talkhouse, the Los Angeles Review and Oregon Humanities Magazine, and she was a 2020 recipient of the McElheny Award from MIT for her work the Timber Wars podcast. She is currently prepping a new album while very slowly working on a book.

Join us at The Historic Granada Theater for the first showing in our 2026 Film Series! We will be watching the documentary film The Summer of Soul

Film starts at 7:00pm on Friday, June 19th.

Tickets are $10 (free + 1 for any Wines on Second Wine Club Memberships)

In his acclaimed debut as a filmmaker, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson presents a powerful and transporting documentary—part music film, part historical record created around an epic event that celebrated Black history, culture and fashion. Over the course of six weeks in the summer of 1969, just one hundred miles south of Woodstock, The Harlem Cultural Festival was filmed in Mount Morris Park (now Marcus Garvey Park). The footage was largely forgotten–until now. SUMMER OF SOUL shines a light on the importance of history to our spiritual well-being and stands as a testament to the healing power of music during times of unrest, both past and present. The feature includes concert performances by Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Sly & the Family Stone, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Mahalia Jackson, B.B. King, The 5th Dimension and more.

SUMMER OF SOUL premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, where it won both the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award. It is streaming on Hulu in conjunction with Disney General Entertainment’s Onyx Collective; Searchlight Pictures released it theatrically.

We’re thrilled to welcome Edda Glass and Max Hatt back to Wines on Second!

Peachy Rain and Just Curious will open at 6pm

Edda Glass and her long-time collaborator Max Hatt have “forged a unique sound," says NPR's Larry Groce. Drawing from jazz, bossa nova, and folk, their alternative musical universe stretches effortlessly from award-winning original compositions to radical reinventions ranging from “Wichita Lineman” to ”Falling Grace." But striking material is only half the alchemy— Glass’s hauntingly intimate voice is “one of a kind...you cannot confuse her with another artist," according to the New York Theatre Guide; “She must be heard to be believed,” says Nels Cline (Blue Note, Wilco). Likewise, Hatt’s guitar and pedal work is a swoon-inducing soundscape that “creates a vastness within its quiet,” (Yes! Weekly) and has an “an incomparable spook” (Nashville Scene). Hailed as “mesmerizing,” ”evocative,” and “cinematic,” not to mention “elegantly funky,” they make one feel "both lost and found, all at once" (New York Theatre Guide).

Based in Montana, their original music draws from the Northwestern landscape, featuring, on occasion, snow geese and wheat fields; pioneers and native peoples. But the sense of place runs deeper than mere iconography— the harsh aridity, frigid winds, and spacious grandeur have musical equivalents, carried out as a dialog between intimate instrumentation and lush layering, yearning dissonance and resonant homecoming. “You remember how small and fragile you are, when you drive around out here," says Glass, “You take your life in your hands. But everyone does, everywhere. We're all little people on great plains." 

Glass and Hatt have been touring since 2013, appearing on NPR and PBS stations from Seattle to New York City, with tour stops including New York City’s Lincoln Center, D.C.’s Kennedy Center, the Sundance Film Festival, Wilco’s Solid Sound Festival, Earshot Jazz Festival, and the Exit Zero Jazz Festival. In 2022 they received a Jazz Road Grant, funded by the Doris Duke Foundation and the Mellon Foundation, and in 2013 they won the Grand Prize of the NPR/Mountain Stage New Song Contest. They have been awarded official showcases by ASCAP, APAP (UpNext), Arts Midwest, Arts Northwest, and South Arts. Their latest album, Gray May Day (2023), was co-produced by their frequent collaborator, Patrick Sansone (Wilco, Autumn Defense).
