Sharon Porter

Living in a splendid landscape in the valley of the Blue Mountains, I make my living teaching at Eastern Oregon University and have a great time doing it! In my "spare" time, I am a musician playing bass and singing with The Summit Ridge Band and have started my own band, Porter and the Pale Ales. I have recently been certified as a ukulele instructor through the James Hill Ukulele Initiative and will finish Level 2 in 2013. Our community group, CUCU, the Coalition of Union County Ukuleles, is off to a fabulous start! Already three-part harmonies and have moved into Book II of Ukulele in the Classroom.

This page is intended to be a spot to gather all the busy-ness of my work and play and I hope some of the links help you. As a librarian, it is a compulsion to gather information...a feature, not a bug!

Download our CD...Music at the Market, with Porter and the Pale Ales, The Summit Ridge Band, Matt Cooper X-Tet, and the Ten Depot Street Syncopators...brand new! Hot off the turntable!
