If you follow the news, the current moment can seem really dark. The Solidarity Social is about coming together in joy and generosity to drive the darkness out. So put your love light on and join us in supporting our community and one another.
Sponsored by local pro-democracy group Indivisible Eugene-Springfield, the Solidarity Social is a benefit to support our immigrant neighbors being unfairly targeted in these troubling times. All proceeds will go to two wonderful local organizations doing crucial immigrant support work: Oregon Community Asylum Network and Catholic Community Services’ Refugee and Immigrant Services Program.
We’ll have food trucks serving affordable international fare, a no-host bar, a silent auction featuring finely crafted items from area artisans, and for the kids (and kids at heart), a silent disco and other age-appropriate activities.
Our entertainment features an eclectic mix of reggae, jazz, folk, and funk bands, each bringing their own special sauce to our community buffet, as well as Ballet Folklorico Colibri, a local troupe of young dancers carrying on the time-honored tradition of Mexican folk dance.
So come be a pillar of your community and help us prop our neighbors up.

The only thing better than dating someone in your band is dating no one in your band. At least it sure sounds that way according to the recent output from Portland based Post-Yacht Rock outfit Fox and Bones, whose best work is coming directly following their split as a romantic duo. Or perhaps it was the addition of internationally acclaimed songwriter Greg Holden, who joined the project as a producer for their 2024 album “Long Time Honey” and upcoming fifth studio record “Are We Still Having Fun”, scheduled for release September of 2026.
Regardless of what has codified the group, the musical result is undeniable. “Are We Still Having Fun” is an expansive step forward for the band, both lyrically and sonically, as the duo tackles technology, the modern political climate, anxiety, party culture and mental health under a musical tapestry that ranges from their familiar retro folk rock to modern Bleachers-esque indi-pop. It is a plunge into the deep end after years of swimming on the surface. When combined with Holden’s surgical production and lyrical composition, “Are We Still Having Fun” is primed to be Fox and Bones best record yet.
And after ten years and 200,000 miles, it better be. Fox and Bones has toured tirelessly in their career, sharing stages with the likes of Rayland Baxter, The Dead South, ZZ Ward, Fantastic Cat, ALO and Glitterfox among others and have been awarded first place at the 2023 Tucson Folk Festival songwriting contest and second place in the International Acoustic Music Awards along with earning the Best Folk/Americana Album of 2024 by the PNW Music Awards. In their spare moments they’ve founded and run Portland’s Folk Festival, an annual celebration of folk and roots music hosted by the iconic Crystal Ballroom in their hometown of Portland, Oregon.
Haley Johnsen, a musical maverick from Portland, Oregon, is a genre bending artist with a career path that is uniquely her own. Influenced by iconic voices like Brandi Carlile and Bonnie Raitt, Haley's vocals soar with soul in the worlds of Alt Pop and Americana.
Delving into the depths of self-doubt, the wistful beauty of nostalgia, and the resilience required to weather life's storms, Haley's songs showcase genuine songwriting prowess. Haley’s aspiration is clear: "My music is deeply personal. I can only hope that it inspires people to overcome challenges, to embrace hope, and to believe in their authentic selves."
Haley's artistic journey took flight when she reached the top 24 on American Idol Season 11 in 2012. Returning home, she crafted around 200 songs in her parents' backyard shed over three years, culminating in her debut EP, Through the Blue, in 2015. Her second EP, When You Lit The Sky, followed in 2017, alongside singles, national tours, and formative experiences with her hometown band.
As a performer, with or without a band, Haley’s passion and talent is undeniable. Touring mostly as a solo act, her powerful ‘one woman’ band has supported acts such as the sister trio Joseph, The Voice Winner Sawyer Fredericks, The Wind and the Wave, and KT Tunstall. In 2019, Haley's career soared in an unexpected way as she joined electro-pop artist Big Wild as a bassist and backup vocalist. She and the group have performed at renowned festivals such as Lollapalooza, Coachella, Bonnaroo, four sold-out shows at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and four national tours over the last four years.
May 2019 marked the release of Haley's 12-track debut album, Golden Days, attracting acclaim and catching the attention of artist Allen Stone, who lent his vocals to her blues-driven track, 'Weekend.' In the same year, just after finishing her second European tour, Haley recorded a live acoustic album, 'London Sessions,' at the famous Abbey Road Studios
Fast forward to 2022, Haley's full-length album Goner emerged, exploring the perpetual tug-of-war between confidence and self-doubt, fear and trust. The pandemic-inspired album showcased a masterful fusion of '80s-inspired synth-pop and poignant ballads, earning praise from American Songwriter.
In Fall of 2023, After a 3 year hiatus of international travel, Haley made her way back to Europe and the UK for her 3rd tour overseas. She later joined The Folk Rock duo The Talbott Brothers as the opening act for their Spring tour in 2024, stepping her foot more into the Americana scene.
Haley’s latest EP Late Bloomer released July 12th, 2024 is inspired by Texas twang and the Oregon roots that raised her. It began as a collaboration with Austin, Texas Producer and Songwriter Dwight Baker (of Far From Saints and the Wind and the Wave) back in 2022, and continued on for two years until a 6 song EP was finalized. Many of the EP’s themes tackle letting go of what no longer serves you and speaking up louder than you thought you could.

Her writing is real, introspective and reflective. After touring the songs in Europe four times in 1.5 years, Lujan is ready to show her versatility and growth as an artist. The first single released late March 2024 titled ‘Goodbyes’. The song explores mourning and loss of important people in your world. In the sense of ending romantic relationships it explores the process of knowing when someone isn’t suited for your life or growth any longer. Lujan writes “I wrote this song to remind myself that even though things are hard you will meet those people who stick around eventually.” Even though people come and go in your world, remembering that there will be lots of cries and laughs on your journey to finding those people who see you for who you are. The Song can be heard in Peacocks ‘Long Bight River’ starring Amanda Seyfried, tying together the final scene of the series over the rolling credits. The main hook stating: ‘it takes a lot of goodbyes to get to forever.
