BAKER CITY — It’s been over 30 years since John Wesley Harding and Mare Winningham set out on tour for his album “Why We Fight.”

Now they’re hitting the road again for a short tour that includes a concert in Baker City.

“We recently ran into each other again, after all these years,” Winningham said. “It was great — we were fast friends again.”

The concert is Saturday, March 8, at Churchill School, 3451 Broadway St. Doors open at 6 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance at churchillbaker.com or $30 at the door. Admission is free for ages 15 and younger who attend with a paid adult.

A lot of life has happened since that 1992 tour.

First, let’s talk about a name. Although he previously toured as John Wesley Harding, the musician returned to his birth name, Wesley Stace, for his novels and more recent recordings.

(He’s using John Wesley Harding for these shows with Winningham as a nod to their 1992 tour — he’s even using an original poster to promote the concerts.)

Stace, who was born in Hastings, England, but has lived in Philadelphia for 18 years, created Cabinet of Wonders, a monthly show that plays at City Winery in New York City, 15 years ago and is coming up on the 120th show.

Cabinet of Wonders is a variety show featuring four musicians, two writers, one comedian, a house band and Stace.

“It’s a fantastic thing and one of my prime creative endeavors,” he said.

He’s also taught at Princeton, Swarthmore and Fairleigh-Dickinson, and writes for the Times Literary Supplement and Wall Street Journal.

He added Churchill School to the tour, he said, on the recommendation of his friend Leo Moon, who played at the school both as a solo act and with Blitzen Trapper.

Winningham has worked in film, television and theater for more than four decades, and she’s also released five albums of original music.

“Music is just something I love, even if it’s just in my living room,” she said.

Winningham was featured in the Grammy-nominated cast of Bob Dylan and Conor McPherson’s “Girl From the North Country,” and her current play, “Cult of Love,” wrapped up Feb. 2.

Then she hit the road for a short tour with Stace.

“This is just something super fun that Wes cooked up,” she said.
