JACKSONVILLE, Ore. \u2013 The Jacksonville Community Center is hosting a free concert tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Located on East Main Street in Jacksonville, the concert will feature local musician Nick Garrett-Powell.<\/p>\n
Powell is known throughout southern Oregon as a soloist and as a member of various bands, including the Fret Drifters and Nick and Shae.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow, Powell will perform original songs and his set will focus on looping, a tool that allows artists to layer music live. Attendees will have the opportunity to see Powell build his set from the ground up before their eyes.<\/p>\n
He also specializes in playing the guitar and is a recording engineer, having worked with many artists and their records over the years.<\/p>\n
Powell says the music scene in Oregon is tight-knit and has formed its own unique sound.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s actually so much talent all through southern Oregon and so many great people to work with. We\u2019re just kind of overflowing with qualified artists,\u201d said Powell.<\/p>\n
Additionally, he said any chance of performing is a way of showcasing the talent Oregon has to offer that others be unaware of.<\/p>\n
