I think it is a good time to take a break and listen to a real happy, happy, joy, joy song!
This is a band I just heard about from Mike B, the Ryan Montbleau Band, who played in Eugene last night and I couldn’t go! Bummer.
Enjoy!

I am still enjoying the afterglow of a really fun time at the Michael Franti show at Cuthbert on Saturday night. The real treat was the opener, the Blue Scholars. An MC and a DJ put out some amazing dancable flowing rap with a social conscience. Let’s hope they make the trip […]

I can’t recommend this band enough! The Wood Brothers have a sound that is unlike any other, bluesy country with a little hop to it.
If you don’t have anything better to do, go check them out!
Their folk and acoustic blues tunes, tinged with Gospel hopefulness and country melancholy, were welcomed like old […]

I don’t normally travel in circles where I hear all of the new Pink music, so I was pretty surprised to see this song “Dear Mr. President” on YouTube. Pretty fascinating that the Dixie Chicks were vilified for speaking out like this, but Pink has generally been praised for it. Is it a […]

I can’t really explain how it happened, but over the years my musical tastes has gone sharply down two distinct paths…(apologies to all of the live Jam Band music I’ve seen.  That can be filed under “If you don’t remember it, was it actually good music?”)
All I seem to listen to these days is either […]

If you have an extra 10+ minutes to listen to some sweet Jamming by a now broken up group named Strangefolk, plug in the headphones and groove!

I’ve started and quit playing guitar about 10 times in my life. I was recently inspired to try again after hearing the effortless smooth sounds laid down by “THE BUSINESS” while camping last weekend…
This time, I’m not going to quit until I have reached the level below. That will get the ladies to notice, […]

I wanted to tell you about my new favorite band that I met at the String Cheese Incident festival this weekend… Mojow & The Vibration Army:
With looping pedals attached to his waist, an amplified wagon hitched to his belt, a saxophone strapped to his chest, and a microphone in hand; Jo is a six-foot-eight-red-headed-beat-boxing-music-making-machine. […]

When the awesome weather hits Eugene, it always brings with it the curse of allergy season. Luckily, Eugene has given me genetically advanced DNA, and I don’t know what all the suffering is about. So, as a way to sympathize with my friends and family, I wanted to give you all a couple […]

Michael Franti and Spearhead (along with Blackalicious and Reeble Jar) open up the Cuthbert Summer Concert series on Saturday.  The schedule isn’t nearly as good as last year, but this Franti show should be the best of the bunch.  Just go!
For your Friday mellow tune, here is some Franti (and nothing like the crazy energy […]

The Dave Matthews solo album “Some Devil” didn’t really take off much, but it did have a few gems that were departures from the typical DMB stuff.  This one I kind of like with Dave going all falsetto on it.
Have a good weekend!
