Winter Warmer I:
Jukebox Salon with Invoke
Friday, March 6 | 7:00 PM
Three of Strong Spirits | Portland
Fueled by a passion for musical storytelling, the multi-instrument quartet Invoke dodges any attempt at genre classification. At Jukebox Salon, you’ll hear inventive arrangements of tunes spanning half a century of popular music—classic rock to K-pop, smash hits and deep cuts—artfully blended with bluegrass, jazz, and minimalism. This don’t-miss event combines virtuoso intimacy with electrifying musicality, along with complimentary refreshments and signature drinks in one of East Bayside’s most vibrant craft distilleries.

Meet The Artists
Geoff Manyin
cello/vocals
Geoff is passionate about scrumptious vegan food, always searching for Austin's best tacos, Thai, or tofu scramble. Don't forget about good drink too - just be sure to think twice before asking him about mezcal or whisk(e)y. An avid videogamer, you'll often find him enjoying a role-playing game, a story-rich one-off, or whatever may strike his fancy that month. Sometimes though, all he needs to be happy is a stroll through a local park on a crisp afternoon, a great Netflix show, or a nice chat with an old friend.
Zach Matteson
violin/vocals
A man of many origins (i.e. Maryland, Siberia, Montana), Zach is proud to call Austin, TX his home base. When he's not making tunes with Invoke, you can find him at a a local coffee shop writing down some haikus, playing in the Austin Symphony, slurping down ramen from Ramen Tatsuya, or adding to his crazy collection of shirts from the local goodwill.
Karl Mitze
viola/mandolin/vocals
When he isn’t performing and teaching with Invoke, Karl enjoys baseball, board games, and walking his dog Max. A huge baseball fan, he follows the Cincinnati Reds avidly and listens to as many games as possible, usually when running at the park. Karl is also kind of a nerd: he’s a weekend Xbox player, loves fantasy novels, and enjoys anything Dungeons and Dragons related. You can often find him enjoying a beer at a trivia night somewhere in Austin, TX.
Nick Montopoli
violin/banjo/vocals
When he's not banjo pickin' or fiddle scrapin' with Invoke, you might find Nick at the recording studio of composer Graham Reynolds, where he works as Graham's assistant, or pumping iron at the Montopoli Barbell Club. He also loves kicking back with a prime bourbon, relaxing to the soothing tones of power metal, or stalking around the stage of a reunion show as lead singer of the former D.C. hair metal band, Sextacy.
