An evening with Nashville Americana duo Goldpine
2026-06-24 19:00 - 21:00 | The Chameleon, 1801 West Sunset Boulevard, Spokane, Washington, 99201, United States
Bold + gold harmonies straight from Nashville. Winner of the Rocky Mountain Songwriter Contest and seen on NPR’s ‘Mountain Stage with Kathy Mattea’ and the KC Chiefs National Anthem, Goldpine’s brand of “aggressive Americana” is a flawless channel for their bold and reminiscent compositions. Husband and wife of 16 years, Goldpine has just released their third album, appropriately titled Three, which collects stories of sorrow, tested-love and space-trips. Mastered by Dave McNair (Shovels & Rope, Lauren Daigle), the album was captured from a mash of actual live performances on the road in 2024, showcasing the duo’s live energy as you would experience it straight from the stage. “…sharing a sound that’s cast in honesty, emotion and homespun sentiment…the songs say it all, providing clear indication that Goldpine has established a precious standard.” -Lee Zimmerman (Goldmine Magazine)

2026-06-25 16:00 - 19:00, 2026-06-26 16:00 - 19:00 | Terrain Gallery, 628 N Monroe St,, Spokane, WA, 99201, United States
CATHARSIS is an interdisciplinary solo exhibition by Duncan Clark Menzies examining one’s journey from concealment to discovery through catharsis. This exhibition extends the central question of The Bedsheet Chronicles: “What do you cover?” Through landscapes and the cultural terrains around us, CATHARSIS explores how our environment shapes, conceals, or defines our worldview—consciously and unconsciously—through life experiences, religion, family, society, and the culture of our adolescence.
Featuring a variety of media, including conceptual lamps, collage, classical Americana landscapes, surveys of different decades, and photojournalism, the exhibition will also include an immersive installation and sheet covered canopy premiering a new documentary about The Bedsheet Chronicles, which was created in collaboration with videographer Jack Wade.
____________________________________________________________________________
ARTIST STATEMENT:
Duncan Clark Menzies is an interdisciplinary conceptual artist born in Snohomish and raised in Coeur d’Alene, where he currently resides. His work explores the intersections of spiritual, Celtic, communal, and queer identities through shared stories and spaces.
Menzies’ primary project, The Bed Sheet Chronicles, collects personal stories through community interviews in which he asks participants, “What do you cover?” Interviewees then provide him with a bedsheet. Using bedsheets, storytelling, performance, woodworking, projection, and lighting, the project examines themes of shame, upbringing, religion, politics, cultural heritage, and identity.
