Cliff Stansell and Friends – Saturday, February 14, 2026 at 7:30 pm

We are pleased to announce that Curry County native son Cliff Stansell will be
performing on the Friendship Hall stage with several of his local friends for our February
14th show.

Cliff will be the songwriting instructor at the Southwest Oregon Community College Writers Conference in Brookings earlier in the day, and then play for us that
night!

Cliff was born into a house of music that saw him playing guitar by 13, writing songs
shortly thereafter, and then picking up the banjo, mandolin, and fiddle in the years that
followed. In addition to becoming an instructor of those instruments to would-be south
coast musicians, Cliff also became a sought-after player, appearing in venues too
numerous to name throughout southwestern Oregon, on his own and with notable local
artists.

He has, in fact, appeared in PRCA shows before, having developed a reputation
as our go-to local pickup musician for bands that show up without members. As such,
Cliff has been on the Friendship Hall stage with Mollie O’Brien, Special Consensus,
Chuck Pyle, and Blame Sally, among others.

Appearing with Cliff will be Amy Keusink on violin and piano, Chris Vorster on guitar and
mandolin, Beau Jones on bass, and Steve Boyer on accordion. This will be a great night
of acoustic music provided by hometown artists, so please come join us and support our
local minstrels!
