@Ol_Mountn_Due @brittfestivals

Last night’s sold out show featuring Trampled By Turtles and The Devil Makes Three at Britt Festival was started off with Ol’ Mount’n Due, a (great!) band that has added an upright bass player since the last time I saw them. Will Shapiro also plays the drums in The Delineators.

Tickets are still available for tonight’s show featuring Sean Watkins & Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek, Fiona Apple, Don Heffington, and Sebastian Steinberg.

Bryce Rogan – American Legion Baseball All-Academic Team

#MedfordMustangs #ALWS2015 @legionbaseball @AL_WorldSeries @mrrogan

After defeating New Jersey on Thursday and Nebraska on Friday, the Northwest representative Medford Mustangs will go for a 3-0 record in their four-team division this morning (9:30 a.m. PT). If they beat Hawaii today they will play Monday at 1 p.m. (PT) on ESPNU for a chance to make the Championship game on Tuesday. Even if they lose today they will likely play (against a possibly tougher opponent) on Monday with the Championship game on the line.

You can watch today’s game online for free here.

Sanctifyre @ final Musichead gig (8/10/15)

Musichead in Medford has been a hub for rock, metal, and punk bands to play for more than a decade. I have posted hundreds of photos from shows at Musichead over the years. I have hundreds more that I need to post when I get the chance. The store is still open. You can still go to Musichead to buy CDs, shirts, etc. However, there will be no more shows there after last night as the building owner is renting the concert space to another business. Hopefully bands that would play Musichead will play at Club 66 in the future.

I have so many fond memories. Some highlights include Giant Squid, Wehrmacht, Michael Graves, Ceremonial Castings, and Stoneburner. Even Mastodon played at Musichead back in 2004. I will miss my Musichead evenings.

BTW, although this was Sanctifyre’s first show at Musichead, members of Dark Confidant and Toxic Witch (photos coming someday) who have previously played at Musichead make up Sanctifyre.
