Join the Low Bar Chorale for a singalong fundraiser benefiting the Oregon Justice Resource Center and Project POOCH, in partnership with Willamette Week’s Give!Guide.

The Oregon Justice Resource Center (OJRC) is a nonprofit whose mission is to frustrate and dismantle mass incarceration and systemic discrimination in the criminal legal system by promoting civil rights and improving legal representation for historically underserved communities. OJRC's programs include the Oregon Innocence Project, the Immigrant Rights Project, the Women's Justice Project, the Civil Rights Project, and the Youth Justice Project. Learn more at ojrc.info

Project POOCH provides life-changing opportunities for incarcerated youth and shelter dogs by operating a kennel inside Maclaren Youth Correctional Facility. Youth learn basic dog training, shelter management, and job skills, and the dogs get adopted into their forever homes. The youth and dogs learn, grow, and change together. Learn more at pooch.org

Both organizations are featured in Willamette Week’s Give!Guide. The Give!Guide is a year-end fundraising campaign that runs from November 1-December 31 to raise awareness and encourage support of local nonprofits.

LOW BAR CHORALE DESCRIPTION:

 You show up at a bar or music venue. You grab a drink and within minutes you’re singing the hell out of your favorite rock song with a hundred new friends and a killer band. In three-part harmony, no less!



Welcome to the Low Bar Chorale and what we all not-so-secretly wish singing could be.

 

Our shows combine music, comedy, and some good ol’ rock and roll magic to transform the audience from a group of strangers into an epic chorus - the room comes alive with harmony. We’re drop-in only: no auditions, rehearsals or commitments ever. We’ve got an incredible band, and we’ve performed with some amazing artists, including Built To Spill, Guster, Portugal. The Man, Storm Large, and others. 

Over the past few years, we’ve toured throughout Australia, Alaska, California, and throughout the Pacific Northwest.

The best thing is that ANYONE CAN DO THIS. No prior musical experience required. Just show up with your love of music and an open mind, and we guarantee you’ll sound great. 



So if this sounds like something you’d love, what are you waiting for?
