The Shows |
| Trick Sensei's
trick is the ambient interpay of dreamy guitar effects and throbbing
rhythm. A hot summer night in a Portland hipster bar with only somewhat
subdued passion. This is 'lose yourself' music, it builds and washes
over. tricksensei.com Brad Creel mixes clever and humorous lyrics with
a clean country feel assisted by Andy Lohr on a variety of instuments.
Warm and personable, Brad is a straight up guy we really enjoy.
He does "dark music with a happy feel" Brad

and tech problems. The music is great and he has a wonderful smooth
voice. These songs are beautifully constructed and completely pro.
We haven't posted in a while, but we will I promise. BrentRogers.com Dave Lamkins and Mary Suzanne are all doped up
with cold medicine and secrets. She is better known to the podcast

grind that sticks to your ribs. These are neighborhood stories through
a haze of cigarette smoke and stark reality. Great performances
are wryly tossed off like used matches. meredithbrothersband.com Frogg Marlowe and Jaycatt Nico are argueably among

style to The Circus. Clean and beautiful he plays a gorgeous sounding

hard way. Complex heads, daring choruses, agressive solos, and tough
ensemble performance. Dusty talks of influences and shares a cut
from his CDs. Lovingly brash hard core jazz. No fooling around.

goosebump voice and acoustic prog-rock mandolin. Please excuse the

young philosopher. His latest album available at LincolnCrockett.com Moonshine Hangover with a special remote edition

is a party, with some real authentic country punks. Tell me this

May. These songs span his writing career. If his deep rich voice
and classic guitar solo guitar playing weren't enough, the startling,
incisive lyrics left us speechless. A must hear. myspace.com/therealpaulkoenig The Bull Dozers are Lon and Dale Jones,
Jeff Woodcock, and Dan Pettis. These brothers and friends
sometimes sound like the Beach Boys, with Steely Dan and Jimmy Buffett
singing songs by Kinky Friedman. They sound great! Please
visit Thundercrow.com Wayne Hoffman returns after a hard drive ate his
first show. It's a pleasure hearing his songs about weather, time,
and his grandfather's accordian. When you listen, think of the honesty
and humility that you appreciate in folks like this. Rexella is a noise music band brought to the Circus

pain in his songs in a way that makes it more poignant. This is
someone who sings for the rest of us, the quiet ones. myspace.com/gabrielrozzell

and strength. The passion an artist can feel for the people and
nature around her is evident. AlexaWiley.com

this refreshingly original and joyful mix. Found objects, practical
art, and brilliant improvisation are just starting points. Like
nothing we have ever heard. Cicadaomega.com
myspace.com/cicadaomega Brent Rogers plays beautiful guitar and has a
wonderful romantic voice. Well crafted songs get the full professional
treament. This is a producer's sound from a well connected local
producer. With recordings from his upcoming album, we were treated
to some widely varied and layered pieces. BrentRogers.com Steve Kerin had a masters degree in classical
piano when he discovered a collection of transcriptions of Dr. John
classic piano solos. He is a true student of the style, and the

in the show. We are honored to present this recent transplant from
the Louisiana to Portland. You will want to see him live. myspace.com/SteveKerinPiano Taylor Horton is a protege' of Angie Foster

muscle as she has put plenty of hard work into her chosen craft,
but it is also a rare opportunity to hear someone in the first blush
of her performing career. Link to her from AngieFoster.com Marvin (aka: SpeedLimit) Gershowitz plays forlorn

influences are two parts Woody Guthrie, one part Hank Williams and
generous portion of recordings from the band General Strike. Jim

anthems. Phil Ochs, my hero, would be proud to stand with them.
GeneralStrikeband.com Beltaine's dual hammer dulcimer and guitar arrangements
are authentic and innovative. In the finest tradition of mixing
respect for the classic melodies and rhythms with the joy of living
musicianship, John Keys, Kris Chase and Brian Baker

from their new album String Fling, John adds flute
and Kris adds mountain dulcimer and marimbola. Get your fling on.
