The 2026 MHJF in collaboration with the winery at McMenamins Edgefield in Troutdale is proud to present Ryan Meagher and Joe Manis! _ “Ryan Meagher (pronounced Marr) is a jazz guitarist and composer who grew up in San Jose, California. Perhaps best-known for his compositional acumen, he is also well-known for his flexibility and range. He is truly in his own space when exploring his thought-provoking original material with exciting and sensitive sidemen, but he has also accompanied a pool of incredibly diverse artists. He can lay down traditional harmonic and rhythmic framework for artists like Terell Stafford and Randy Brecker, and John Clayton. But he can also stretch and provide color like he has alongside very adventurous artists like trumpeters Cuong Vu and Taylor Ho Bynum, bassist David Friesen, and the poll-winning ensemble Mostly Other People Do the Killing. It was during the period that he lived in New York City when launched his debut album Sun Resounding announcing his arrival on the modern jazz scene. Shortly after the success of his second album entitled Atroefy on Fresh Sound New Talent Records he attended the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) to attain his master of music degree in pursuit of a career in jazz education. His third album Tone was recorded in NYC in between his studies at UNR and it received international critical acclaim. After the completion of his master of music degree Meagher relocated to Portland, Oregon where he quickly became a recognizable force in the creative music community there. Along with releasing his fourth record Tango In the City of Roses on PJCE Records he has been instrumental in expanding the scene. He has been working closely with the Portland Jazz Composers Ensemble since 2013 and is now the organization’s Artistic Director. He is also a co-founder of the Montavilla Jazz Festival. He was previously Editor of the Jazzscene Magazine, and currently teaches at Mt Hood Community College, Willamette University, University of Portland and directs the jazz program at Lower Columbia College in Longview, WA. He has a total of nine albums as a leader, and has been a sideman on many more. His most recent release, AftEarth, is a multidisciplinary work that was featured in the October 2023 issue of Downbeat magazine. Originally from Dexter, Oregon, SteepleChase recording artist Joe Manis is noted for the strength of his "intense, updated take on the glorious Rollins-'Trane tradition." (Willamette Week) Manis was the recipient of a 2013 Oregon Arts Commission Individual Artist Fellowship. His album for SteepleChase Records, The Golden Mean, features George Colligan on organ, Kevin Congleton on drums, and Lillie Manis on viola and was released in 2015. North By Northwest was released by SteepleChase Records in 2013. He released his debut album Evidence in 2009 features Manis on tenor saxophone, Kevin Congleton on drums, and Portland luminary Dave Captein on bass: the Willamette Week called the album "explosive,” and said “(Manis) makes Pink Floyd's 'Money' sound like something a young John Coltrane might have played"; the Eugene Weekly said: "Fabulous... Will thrill fans of Monk, Rollins." Manis has toured Europe as a duo and in a trio with David Friesen, where they recorded Structures, a live album. He currently plays with Friesen's Trio. He also appears on Risky Notion (Four stars & Best Albums of 2015, DownBeat Magazine) on Origin Records with George Colligan's Theoretical Planets. Manis has played with Thomas Mapfumo and the Blacks Unlimited, including a performance at Carnegie Hall's Zankel Hall, and appears on their album Rise Up! on Real World Records. He has also performed with the George Colligan Quartet, the Chuck Israels Jazz Orchestra, the Ken Schaphorst Big Band, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Johnny Mathis, the Temptations, comedian Bob Newhart, Wayne Newton, the Oregon Symphony with Gladys Knight, the Oregon Bach Festival Orchestra, the Portland Opera, the Sunriver Music Festival Orchestra, the Eugene Symphony, and the Eugene Opera. Manis has performed on NPR’s Jazz Night In America, hosted by Christian McBride. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/troutdale/2026-mhjf-free-ryan-meagher-and-joe-manis/200029973845905 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, music, art, festivals, music-festivals, jazz, theatre, comedy - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 8 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Troutdale - **state**: OR - **country**: United States - **location**: Edgefield Winery - **lat**: 45.5369 - **long**: -122.40687 - **full address**: Edgefield Winery, 2126 SW Halsey St,Troutdale,OR,United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: 2026 MHJF - FREE: Ryan Meagher & Joe Manis - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/781775edd5a2bfaf80311eff0866b3f9b7e3e718191320e6c64d16e341a80789-rimg-w1200-h628-dc030303-gmir?v=1776894245 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is 2026 MHJF - FREE: Ryan Meagher & Joe Manis being held? - **A:** 2026 MHJF - FREE: Ryan Meagher & Joe Manis takes place on Sun, 26 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Sun, 26 Apr, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Edgefield Winery, 2126 SW Halsey St,Troutdale,OR,United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing 2026 MHJF - FREE: Ryan Meagher & Joe Manis? - **A:** 2026 MHJF - FREE: Ryan Meagher & Joe Manis is organized by Mt.
