These small gatherings are for those who practice or would like to learn about Christian contemplative, or mystical, spirituality. The meetings are open to the public, educational, supportive, and non-dogmatic, but we are currently meeting in the Ashland Public Library's Guanajuato Room, which has limited space. (Disclaimer: These meetings are neither sponsored nor endorsed by the Ashland Public Library.) Please arrive on time to have the doors at the rear of the building unlocked; the library will not yet be open. —Fr. Scott Carter

The world-traveling band, Dirty Cello returns to Talent for a show at the Cedarwood Barn.

From Iceland to Bali, and everywhere in between, the Dirty Cello band plays rock, blues and Americana with wild abandon and a whole lot of foot stompin’ fun, but whenever possible, they return to the Ashland area to put on a show.

Many years ago, the Dirty Cello band played their first big festival at the Green Show, and since then, have created a finely tuned show that incorporates everything from Jimi Hendrix to Johnny Cash, all with wailing cello, emotive vocals, and a whole lot of rhythm.

LA Times describes the band as, “The group seamlessly careens from blues to bluegrass and rock in a way that really shouldn't make sense but somehow does."

The Cedarwood Barn is a beautiful location in Talent. Come check it out and hear the band on a beautiful November evening.
