ThankUSoMuch w/ Chibia:
 
Alex Koehler is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer, and music educator from Portland, OR. As leader of ThankUSoMuch, Alex has performed at venues across the Pacific Northwest, notably at Portland’s own Roseland Theater, Star Theater, 1905, Jack London Revue, and Jimmy Mak’s. In addition to adventurous original compositions, Alex's music consistently showcases his arranging skills, bringing hip interpretations of well known songs. His trio music ranges from energetic modern jazz to lush neo-soul to fresh hip-hop, and everything in between. Joining him are the incredible Paul Paresa (Sweet & Juicy) on piano, and Steven Skolnik (Varelse) on drums.

Chibia is a violinist, vocalist, music educator, and calligraphy/typography artist based in Portland, OR. She currently holds a Bachelors in Music Education and a Masters of Education from Portland State University, teaching orchestra full time in Vancouver, Washington. Chibia was a member of Portland State University's Symphony Orchestra and multiple chamber ensembles, appearing on Portland State University's Chamber Choirs' album Erik Esenvalds: The Doors of Heaven which ranked #1 in Classical Music upon its release. She was also a part of PDX Collective, Portland State University's jazz choir, making it as one of the top finalists at the Monterey Jazz Festival. In the summer of 2017, Chibia joined the band Jazz Boyfriends as the violinist, one of two vocalists, as well as the keyboard player, bringing some of her original works to the table. She later debuted herself as a solo artist at the Old Church with Jimmie Herrod after Jazz Boyfriends’ split in 2019. After a brief intermission from live performing, Chibia is currently in the process of recording her first solo album entitled ‘So, This Is Love?’ Her popular single "Honey" can be heard on 89.1 KMHD, and found on all streaming platforms.

Description: This benefit music series will feature Portland's top Soul, Latin & Jazz bands.
