Rob Wynia of Floater
Floater will be playing at the Historic Rogue Theatre (not the Rogue Music Theater which I saw somewhere else online) in Grants Pass on August 22, 2014.

We’re a long way from Ashland, but tomorrow we will head back to Oregon. For a few of our Hawaii adventures click here.

One of the more popular entries on this blog has been this one of a female bagpipe player in the 2009 Ashland Fourth of July Parade. Thousands of people have viewed her in the past five years.
Today’s photo is from the 2014 parade.

Janai Lowenstein (AKA the “Wings Freedom Fairy“) has been in Ashland’s parade for a number of years now.
Off to Hawaii
Ashland 4th of July parade fly over
We are off to the Big Island today for eight nights in paradise. I’m not going to leave loyal watchers of this blog with nothing for that duration though. Instead, I’ll post something each day from the 4th of July Parade earlier this month in Ashland. If you want to see some pics from Hawaii, check out my other blog.
Today’s photo is of the “fly over” at the start of the parade. They actually did a fly over and then a fly back over this year. I haven’t seen that before, but I’ve missed more than half of the parades in recent years.
Tori Amos @ Britt
Tori Amos @ Britt Festivals 2014
Some people are surprised when I tell them I am a Tori Amos fan. They think she doesn’t fit in with my usual musical tastes I suppose, but if they gave her a chance they’d find that her irreverent and edgy lyrics may actually be interesting to them as well.
On top of her lyrics, she has Led Zeppelin playing before, between, and after the show for the audience. Not your typical “pop” artist. Nor do most of my metalhead buddies probably realize that she has covered Slayer’s “Raining Blood.”
I’ve wanted to see her live performance for almost 20 years now, but she has never played in Southern Oregon… until this past Saturday night.
Tori Amos setlist 7/19/14 (Jacksonville, Oregon)
Her show was amazing. Unfortunately, I couldn’t take photos after the first two songs so I don’t have any of the lighting that took effect beginning with about the fifth song. Nor do I have any of her playing under the starry sky that came out near the end of her set. Maybe she’ll come back and let me shoot the last two songs next time. 😉
