Phinehas Nyangoro is a talented young vocalist and guitarist from Durham, North Carolina. He is well versed in both American music and African traditions, as he was raised traveling often with his parents to their home at Tanzania. While growing up in North Carolina, Phinehas performed in local churches, restaurants, and bars alongside jazz professors from Duke University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and North Carolina Central University.

He currently performs at local music venues, clubs, and restaurants in the Seattle area, with frequent stops to New York City and homecoming concerts in North Carolina.Multi-instrumentalist and Portland native Machado Mijiga wears many hats, both literally and metaphorically. Classically-trained, jazz-weathered, and eclectically inclined, Mijiga left the proverbial creative box at a very early age, with access to many instruments and a diverse musical background brought about by an intercultural heritage. Mijiga is a musical polymath; composer, producer, bandleader, educator, gear fanatic, and audio engineer, to name a few. Authenticity and uniquity assume the locus of Mijigas artistic identity. Self-expression is the prime directive, and the medium of choice changes like the weather.Important Safety Notice: In accordance with the Multnomah County mask mandate, all Jack London customers and staff, regardless of vaccination status, will be required to wear masks when not eating or drinking. As a further measure, no customers will be admitted without proof of vaccination against COVID-19 or proof of negative test taken within 48 hours of admission. Stay safe, Portland!
