Confluence: The Willamette Valley Mixed GALA Chorus Confluence is a non-auditioned, SATB, GALA chorus based in Salem, Oregon, and is open to any Gay, Lesbian, Bi-sexual, Transgendered or Straight singers who support its mission of affirming the lives of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and/or straight people. The 40 member choir, who have been performing all over Oregon since 2001, consists of members from the Salem, Corvallis and Portland areas.

Back by Popular Demand! Felina's Arrow Felina's Arrow is a sultry twilight duo set to break your heart open with songs that reflect people's triumphs, failures, and struggles. After meeting on the sidewalk in Seattle, Poeina and Felicia became instantly inseparable. Following their chance meeting, Felina's Arrow toured non-stop, coast to coast, from the sidewalk to the theatre in a 1987 Westphalia van for four years. They recently moved to Portland, Oregon to relax and promote their album "Let Me Tell You A Story." Felina's Arrow is currently working on their second album, writing music for two upcoming films, as well as volunteering for community projects with In Other Words Books and Resource Center.

Back by Popular Demand! Shebang! Shebang! was one of the longest running weekly cabaret shows in Oregon south of Portland until early 2006 when their venue closed its doors. After enjoying a 7-year run, they have been little homebodies and trying to behave the best they can. But they have not been idle - they have been entertaining in various locations including the Red Lion Eugene, University of Oregon, Diablo's and entertaining in cites like Portland, Salem, Corvallis and Bend. Shebang! currently consists of Diva Simone Slaughter, Karress Ann Slaughter, Daphne Bertha Storm, Bianca St. James and Galaxy Storm. With a combined average of over 55 years entertaining experience between them, Shebang! can rock the house like you have never seen before!

Performing for the First time in Salem! Burlesquire Burlesquire is not your grandparents' dance troupe... six men and intricate dance steps meets class and style: that is Burlesquire. Happy to supply some of the queer community’s most sought-after performance art, the troupe’s resume continues to grow as they move into their second year of performing together. Forming a target audience has been next to impossible as the men have quickly learned that the group’s appeal isn’t restricted to any gender, sexual orientation, or background. Tightly controlled choreography infused with high levels of sensuality form the foundation of a Burlesquire performance. The camaraderie amongst the men invariably results in the energy exchange apparent to each of their audiences.

Performing for the First time in Salem! River City Riders The 503's newest drag king troupe! We came together this year, and have already torn the roof of venues such as the E-Room, Holocene, and C.C. Slaughters. The Riders are in the choreographical stages of our first full-length show, set to debut later this year. Don't cheat yourself though, make sure you stay on top of our calendar in between time! It's always a fun ride!
