Performing Ans Center,

The Weekender
Grhmmy Award winners Eric
Tingstad and Nancy Rumbel have
performed, recorded and toured
together for more than 22 years
and have 19 albums to their credit.
Performing as many as 70 concerts
a year, they are friends who enjoy
each other's company and love
making music.
Tingstad performs Virtuoso
American finger-style guitar and
Rumbel uses woodwind instruments
to create beautiful melodies inspired
by music from across America, Asia,
isles- I
Tingstad and Rumbel began their
collaboration in 1985. Their debut
album, “The Gift," quickly became a
holiday classic. In 1998, “American
Acoustic” was honored as “Acoustic
Instrumental Album of the Year"
and in 2003 they received a Grammy
Award for “Acoustic Garden."
While Tingstad hales from Seat—
tle, Rumbel grew up in San Antonio
and studied at Northwestern Uni-
versity where she was influenced by
new styles of music and intrigued
by ethnomusicology which led her
to the Paul Winter Consort.
Togstad attended Western
Washington University where he
was trained in the Segovian classic
guitar tradition. He is a product of
influences as diverse as Led Zeppe-
lin, Hawaiian slack-key guitar, Ravi
Shanker and Martin Denny.
While traveling to different cit-
ies to perform, the duet frequently
visits art museums and antique
stores. Historic preservation and
the environment are just a couple
of the many special interests they
share. Their love for nature, beauty
and creativity takes center stage in
their music.
Tingstad is known for his

uncanny ability to unearth the soul
of musical landscapes and creating
a distinctive sense of place, espe-
cially in'his latest, prize—winning
collection. L
“The ancestral spirit of the
American Southwest is so moving,
so alive, so powerful,” Tingstad
said. “It transcends the here and
now with an inherent sensibility as
old as the land itself."
' A longstanding and highly vis-
ible steward of the land, Tingstad
conceived this project eight years
ago under the working title, “The
Desert Project." He envisioned
an earthy and evocative mood he
refers to as “Native Americana
western desert chill."
“Southwest” is on Tingstad’s
label Cheshire Records (visit erict-
ingstad.com).
“Southwest” is Tingstad’s second
nomination. He won the Grammy in
2003 with Nancy Rumbel for “Acous-
tic Garden." Rumbel also'appears
with Tingstad on his newly-nomi-
nated collection, as well as Lanz.
The stable ofcontributing art-
ists also includes bassist Garey
Shelton, native flutist Gary Strout-
503 and accordion player Murl
Allen Sanders.
The Desertt Project‘s nine acous~
tic cuts by Timgstad are enhanced
with a rhythm section from percus-
sionist Tim Miiller and drummer Tl
Morris, who worked with Tingstad’s
drum loops creating “Ambient
Americana."
Terry Laubier’s pedal steel guitar
anchors this rrecording with essen-
tial western urnderpinnings without
turning the corner into an overt
country soundl. Petra Stahl contrib—
utes venerable chants and haunting
vocals authenticating the echo of
ancient voices.
Tingstad shares with Lanz the
history of recording on the Narada
label.
By a vote of his peers, Tingstad
was honored in October 2006 with
the Coyote Award from Arts North-
west commemorating his leader-
ship, visibility and contributions to
the constant change in the arena of
live performance.

Fledgling eagle festival planned in Arlington, Stilly Valley
b Sarah Arne
The Weekender
The Stillaguamish Tribe and
the City of Arlington are planning
an annual Arlington Eagle Festival
to honor the eagles who hover
around this community through
the year, and especially in the
winter, searching for food from
the Stillaguamish River.
The event is set for Saturday,
Feb. 9.
The chair of the organizing
committee is Vic Ericson, the
city’s economic development
manager. He said the idea popped
up at a downtown merchants
meeting about this time last year,
but it was too late to launch a
new event, so they tabled it until
this year.
A wildlife biologist and mem-
ber of the Stillaguamish Tribe, Jen
Sevigny represents the tribe on
the committee and her father, Bill
Neat, has designed a logo, depict-
ing a: beautiful young eagle in
Native American style.
The Stillaguamish Tribe is
assisting in the project by spon-
soring experts to share their ‘
knowledge about eagles, both at
The Nature Conservancy property
at Hat Slough on the mouth of
the Stillaguamish River and in the
City Council Chambers later in
the day.
Robert Warren and Kat Morgan
from The Nature Conservancy will
offer bird talks and eagle viewing
at The Nature Conservancy prop-
erty at 10 a.m. and Libby Mills
will speak at the Council Cham—
bers in the afternoon.
“Iibby Mills has agreed to
share her knowledge about eagles
at an indoor information session
in the City Council Chambers,“
Sevigny said. Mills is active with
the North Cascades Institute and
a talented artist as well.
“Hat Slough is the location
where eagles are most likely to be
seen at this time of year," said Bill
Blake, the city of Arlington’s natu-
ral resource manager.
Sarvey Wildlife Center will
bring birds for demonstrations
at the Council Chambers, where
Paul Nyenhuis will perform on
his Native American style flutes.
There will be coloring contest for
kids, an art show and slides of
photographs of eagles as well as
educational displays about eagles
and their habitat here in the Still-
aguamish River Valley.
After the activities at the river
and at City Hall, the Stillagua-
rnish Tribe Will sponsor music by
Dana Lyons and/or Tim McHugh
at Mirkwood's Shire Café on the
north end of Olympic Avenue,
about 3:30 pm.
"They both do environmental
folk music with acoustic guitar
and fiddle," Sevigny said.
Maps will be available around
town to show visitors how to find
the viewing area and other poten-
tial eagle viewing areas between
downtown Arlington and the
mouth of the river.
Organizations interested in
providing displays or participat-
ing in any ‘other way may call the
city's recreation manager, Sarah
Hegge for information at 360—403-
3448.
Artists who would-like to
show artwork that depicts eagles
should call Sarah Arney at 360-
435-5 75 7.
“Downtown merchants are
encouraged to plan promotions
and other activities to attract visi—
tors into their stores and restau-
rants," Ericson said
The event will begin with
tours of the estuary at 10 a.m.
in the morning with educational
displays, eagle related art, and
other fun activities in the Council
Chambers from 11 a.m to 3 pm.
The acoustic environmental music
at Mirkwood concludes the event.
“We agreed that the initial
event should be a small, but suc-
cessful, festival," Ericson said.
