MAMUSE with Rebecca Elatiki
📍Star Theater
Portland
MaMuse has spent nearly two decades building a devoted audience through unforgettable harmonies, exceptional songwriting, and performances that leave listeners feeling more connected to themselves and one another. Led by Sarah Nutting and Karisha Longaker and joined by longtime touring collaborators Scott Elliott Ferreter and Nate Dittmer, the nationally touring folk-soul group brings together rich vocal arrangements, multi-instrumental mastery, and songs that speak directly to the human experience.Born from a creative partnership forged in Northern California in 2008, MaMuse draws from the folk and gospel traditions while creating music that feels distinctly their own. Their songs explore belonging, resilience, wonder, grief, joy, and the beauty of being alive. Beloved originals such as We Shall Be Known and Hallelujah have traveled far beyond the stage, finding their way into community choirs, weddings, funerals, birth rooms, places of worship, and gatherings around the world.Since forming in 2008, MaMuse has released six full-length albums and toured extensively throughout the United States, performing at theaters, festivals, retreat centers, houses of worship, and community venues. Their seventh album, This Is the Venue, arrives in August 2026 and marks a new chapter for the group. Featuring the full touring band that has traveled and performed together for the past three years, the album captures the musical chemistry, depth, and collaborative spirit that have become hallmarks of MaMuses live performances.In addition to their concert touring, MaMuse leads retreats, workshops, choirs, and immersive educational experiences at institutions including Omega Institute and Esalen, helping bridge the worlds of performance, creativity, and community practice.Whether performing in a concert hall, festival field, or intimate listening room, MaMuse creates an experience that is both artistically refined and deeply human. Their music invites audiences not only to listen, but to sing, reflect, connect, and remember the enduring power of gathering together in song.
