Gresham Saturday Market at MHCC

Local Farm Fresh Produce, Fruits & Berries • Crafts • Fine Art • Artisan Foods • Unique Services • Music • Fun

Thank you for checking with us. The COVID-19 Pandemic will again disrupt the 2021 market season. We ALL need to follow Federal, State, and Local guidelines to get through this serious crisis. Outdoor markets are NOT necessarily safer than visiting a local grocery and everyone should assess their personal situation and responsibilities for their particular family and behave and act accordingly. Please check back periodically as this information will hopefully change.

If we can locate an affordable location and put together a late starting 2021 market safely, we will.

Our Website is growing and we now have "For Vendors" & Newsletter Signup Pages as well as a Gallery of recent Market Photos.

Keep checking back - we will soon have a "Meet our Vendor Page" up and will be adding to it throughout the year.

DUE TO COVID-19, THE 2021 SEASON DATES AND LOCATION ARE ON HOLD.

Shanghaied on the Willamette

Shanghaied on the Willamette is the lively musical duo of Jonathan Lay and Gordy Euler. We perform songs and tunes "plundered from land and sea," including traditional Celtic, English, and Old-Time American music, especially music of the sea and waterways. We accompany our vocal harmonies with a "fleet" of acoustic instruments, including fiddle, bodhran (Irish drum), guitar (6- and 12-string), mandola, tin whistles, harmonicas and banjo.

Jonathan, who’s powerful and supple voice can do justice to a gentle ballad or a rough-and-tumble sea chantey, plays guitar, tin whistle, harmonica, and a rollicking bodhran. Gordy is a skilled vocalist and a multi-instrumentalist who easily switches among fiddle, mandola, tin whistle, guitar and banjo. This broad range of sounds allows them to craft exciting and varied arrangements and programs.

Our first performance together was in the 1992 Work Songs of the Sea Festival in Portland, Oregon, and we formed Shanghaied on the Willamette in the fall of that year.  Since then we have performed in festivals, pubs, outdoor markets, and concerts in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia.  (SeeWhere We've Been.)
