Greensky Bluegrass @ Britt (August 19, 2023)

@brittfestivals @campgreensky

Last night was my third time seeing Greensky Bluegrass in the past 13 months, although I think it was their first appearance, ever, in Southern Oregon. Oddly, it was the first time I’ve seen them without Holly Bowling.

Buddy Guy on the main stage; The Brisbane Project on the side stage. If you like bluesy guitar work, this is not an evening to miss.

Eight Dollar Mountain – July 4, 2023

As previously mentioned, Eight Dollar Mountain had a gig under the overpass a month ago. The place was packed (and hot!) so we didn’t stick around for long. However, their cover of Neil Young’s “Powderfinger” brought a smile to my face. Less than two weeks later, I saw Neil Young in Bend and noticed a member of Eight Dollar Mountain in the audience.

Zepparella and Floater (on stage together) @ The Cuthbert Amphitheater (August 5, 2023)

@RealFloater @RobertWynia @Zepparella @CuthbertAmp

In the past 15+ years I’ve seen Floater and Zepparella a great many times–well over 20 times combined. However, I haven’t been to a Floater or Zepparella concert since 2019. I was planning on going to Eugene on this evening anyway–to see The Australian Pink Floyd Show at the Hult Center. But when a Floater, Zepparella, and Hillstomp show emerged on the same evening, I changed those plans.

The evening was beautiful. Temps were in the 80s (but shady) at the start and ended in the 70s. The sunset was lovely, and the music was fantastic.

More photos coming soon.
