Pickathon Presents Ken Pomeroy & Ora Cogan at The Showdown Saloon on August 1.
An evening of extraordinary songwriting arrives at The Showdown Saloon as two singular voices in contemporary folk and independent music share the stage for a special night in Portland.
Fresh off the release of her acclaimed Rounder Records debut *Cruel Joke*, Ken Pomeroy has quickly become one of the most talked-about emerging songwriters in Americana. Hailing from Oklahoma, Pomeroy crafts intimate, emotionally rich songs that blend folk, Americana, indie rock, and cinematic storytelling. Praised by NPR's Ann Powers as a "generational talent," her music has reached audiences through appearances on *Reservation Dogs*, CBS Saturday Sessions, Newport Folk Festival, Telluride Bluegrass, and beyond.
Joining the bill is acclaimed songwriter Ora Cogan, whose distinctive body of work occupies a world all its own. Blending folk traditions with experimental textures, psychedelic atmospheres, and haunting melodies, Cogan has earned an international following for music that feels both timeless and transportive. Her captivating voice and cinematic songwriting have made her one of the most compelling artists working at the edges of folk and independent music today.
Together, these two artists offer an unforgettable night of intimate performances, evocative storytelling, and deeply immersive songwriting.
