It’s an honor to announce one of my favorite humans on this planet, Evan Sofro joining the Hidden GEMini Gathering stage again at on June 5-7th!

Evan Sofro is a contemplative folk singer-songwriter whose music weaves together introspection, ecology, humor, and human connection. Raised among the rugged landscapes of Idaho’s Sawtooth Mountains and now based in the Siskiyou region of Southern Oregon, his songs are shaped by a life spent close to the land.

Before stepping onto the music scene, Evan spent years working in sustainable agriculture research and restoration ecology, traveling widely in service of healing ecosystems and learning from the communities rooted within them. Those experiences echo throughout his songwriting — music that explores interpersonal relationships, humanity’s place in the universe, and our relationship with the natural world.

Writing and performing his own original material, Evan balances sincerity with wit, often weaving humor into songs that invite radical honesty, holistic well-being, and deeper presence. His sound is intimate, reflective, and grounded, offering listeners a heartfelt journey through both inner and outer landscapes. ~

Encouraging and Witnessing the progression of Evan’s music once he began to write his songs down, is the type of stuff I live for. His songwriting ability and stage presence is reminiscent of some of the greatest.
Evans first official stage performance was at Gemini two years ago. I included the song he finished that set with. In true Evan free style, he captures the moment and depth of heart we all share for this ever budding community.

“Friends like these… who needs much more…”

20 years deep in friendship…. how blessed are we to look forward to more in store 💫

Hope to see you there, ticket link in comments

📣 Workshop Announcement 📣

Legendary Lyrical genius himself
Marv Ellis brings us ~

~ The Beauty & Chaos of Creation ~

Join acclaimed underground hip hop artist Marv Ellis—known for his genre-bending “Neuro-Spicy NW Hip Hop,” folkloric storytelling, and 18-album deep creative evolution—for an intimate workshop on the songwriting process.

Drawing from over two decades of boundary-pushing work, including his long-standing collaboration with DJ DV8 as one of Oregon’s most enduring live hip hop duos, Marv opens a space to explore how songs are truly made—not as polished products, but as living expressions shaped by intuition, disruption, discipline, and flow.

In this workshop, he’ll share insights from his evolving “Gear 5” era—where positivity, experimentation, and raw authenticity meet—and guide participants through the paradox at the heart of creativity: how beauty often emerges directly from chaos.

Honored my big Bro offered to host a songwriting workshop at the Hidden GEMini Gathering this year. Join us in Paradise

A Wild Soul necklace

Grounded in nature yet alive with energy, this bold necklace combines the raw elegance of naturally shed deer antler with the stormy beauty of Pietersite. The antler centerpiece speaks of strength, renewal, and connection to the wild, while the swirling depths of Pietersite radiate transformation and inner power. Simple in form but rich in meaning, this piece is a wearable reminder of resilience and untamed spirit.
