Fans of song craft couldn’t ask for a much better option on Tuesday night, as three fine songwriters — two local, one not — descend on Cascades Theatrical Company in Bend.

The out-of-towner is Tim May, a Nashville-based, world-class flatpickin’ guitarist (endorsed by Breedlove) who has performed with Patty Loveless and Charlie Daniels. For more info on him, visit www.timmaymusic.net.

Also on the bill are talented local ladies Erin Cole-Baker and Anastacia Scott, both of whom pen some of the best folk/twang-leaning tunes in town. Hear Cole-Baker at www.myspace.com/erincolebakermusic and Scott at www.myspace.com/anastaciamusic3.

A Songwriter’s Story, with Tim May, Erin Cole-Baker and Anastacia Scott ; 7 p.m. Tuesday, doors open 6:30 p.m.; $15 in advance, $18 at the door. Advance tickets available at Steve’s Drum Studio (541-848-4497) in Bend and Angeline’s Bakery (541-549-9122) in Sisters; Cascades Theatrical Company, 148 N.W.
