*Abbey Arts presents: Haley Heynderickx, with Chamberlain / Gonzalez

HALEY HEYNDERICKX: www.haley-heynderickx.com

“ It takes a mix of skill and luck to tend a garden well, but it’s impossible without a certain amount of kindness tended. While the cyclical nature of gardening seems inherent, in some ways, Heynderickx is just beginning. Her debut album, named I Need to Start a Garden out of a search for calm through these waves of uncertainty and upheaval, is out now via Mama Bird Recording Co. For the empathetic singer/songwriter, the reasons for seeking such acceptance and understanding stem from a life of paradoxes.

Heynderickx grew up in a religious household in Oregon, closely identifying with her Filipino roots, but also straddling multiple cultural identities. Now residing in Portland, her faith is not overt, but her introspection and continued struggle for self-actualization are easily accessible and relatable. Likewise, the tracks on I Need to Start a Garden reflect these seemingly disparate elements. Because the beauty of a garden is that, while it’s often started for deeply personal reasons, its bounty is best consumed and shared with others.” – Artist Bio

CHAMBERLAIN / GONZALEZ: https://chamberlaingonzalez.bandcamp.com/album/gonzolain

Eliot Chamberlain and Soliana Gonzalez have been writing songs, harmonizing and performing together in Portland since March 2020. They could be described as a folk duo – though their music draws from a wide array of traditions and inspirations. Soli grew up climbing trees in N.Y. state, singing with her sisters, making art and falling in love with early folk, rock and the latin music of her Colombian heritage. Meanwhile, Eliot is your classic West Coast bluegrass banjo player turned psychedelic rock guitarist and songwriter, moving from Santa Cruz to Portland in 2013. With their distinct backgrounds, geographical origins and styles, it’s almost uncanny how well their voices and musical sensibilities blend.

Chamberlain / Gonzalez  released their sophomore album “Gonzolain” on 6/21/24. The songs were recorded mostly live in their basement and in Blue Room studios with the brilliant guidance and expertise of Mike Coykendall. For this album, as for their first, their aim is to make music that is somehow honest and responsive to our current time.

Chamberlain / Gonzalez features vocal harmonies, original compositions, acoustic guitar and fingerpicking; they draw inspiration from many genres of music including: early English folk, americana roots, blues, jazz, latin, protest, 60/70s, world music, etc.”

QUIET POLICY:

• Please refrain from talking or texting during the show
• Please silence all devices. Turn off vibrate, rings, etc. If you need your phone on vibrate for specific reasons, please keep it close to you and not on a hard surface that will distract your neighbor.
• If arriving late, please be advised that ushers may hold doors during each song due to acoustics of the space.
• Please refrain from talking during the show.
• Please enter quietly if the show has already begun.

• NO CAMERAS WITH MECHANICAL SHUTTERS (This goes for Press too unless approved to photograph during applause only.) That means silent digital cameras/photos are ok but we really recommend you enjoy most of the show through your own ‘retina screens’.

• Anyone exhibiting loud or disruptive behavior during the event will be asked to leave.

• **We are unable to provide a separate soundproof room for viewing this event. These shows are very very pin drop quiet so please consider that when deciding what ages are appropriate. No cry room available at this venue and even voices in the lobby will be heard in the concert space.
