Such a wonderful tribute to a wonderful man. Thank you for letting us share this day with you 💖🙏

I’ll miss his smile

Remember Sven good, he visited me in my home in Norway for some days long time ago.

We put “Swedish Fish” on his plate!

Sven was my very first boss! He was a good man 🇸🇪 💕

CONGRATULATIONS to the BROWNSMEAD FLATS who were named Best Local Band in the Coast Weekend Readers' Choice Awards for 2023. The "Flats" are our favorites too and will perform at the Midsummer Festival at 4:30 PM on Friday, June 16, at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds. Come hear the Flats and enjoy a special evening at the Festival!

From the Daily Astorian:
‘Crabgrass’
By Marianne Monson

Readers’ pick for Best Local Band/Musician is the mainstay group Brownsmead Flats, who play acoustic music that they describe as “crabgrass,” a folk and bluegrass style with a maritime flavor.

The band has a strong focus on vocal harmonies.

Many of their songs are composed by group members and reflect on living in the Northwest. The group includes Dan Sutherland on the hammered dulcimer, fiddle and mandolin; Ray Raihala picks the banjo, guitar and mandolin; Ned Heavenrich plays harmonica and guitar; John Fenton keeps the band together rhythmically with the bass; and Larry Moore rounds out the group with his expertise on mandolin and occasional fancy footwork.

At Brownsmead Flats performances, audiences are encouraged to sing and dance along. The name of the group is inspired by the town of Brownsmead, an area settled by farmers and fishermen from Scandinavian countries.

There, gatherings and potlucks were frequent, followed by music, singing and dancing. These get-togethers inspired the band’s creation, and they’ve been performing together since 1984. Since then, the group has played at events throughout the Northwest and as far away as Costa Rica, where they toured in 2015.

Though the group has been playing together for almost 40 years, they still cherish their time together.

“Making music is a joyful experience for us all,” Ned Heavenrich said, “and we love interacting with audiences, especially the children.” ... See MoreSee Less
