Table Rock City Series Performer Ol’ Mount’n Due on August 18, 2015 in the Britt Performance Garden

@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.

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.

Ekstasis @ Club 66 on August 3, 2015

Monday night was a strange one at Club 66, strange but very good. Three touring bands, not on tour together, met up for an evening in which no band sounded anything remotely like any of the others, yet everyone seemed to enjoy the wide variety of music. Photos of the other bands (OVVL and Cloak) coming soon.

You can catch Ekstasis tonight (August 5) in Salem @ The Wisp House, tomorrow (August 6) in Portland @ High Water Mark Lounge, and Friday night in Seattle @ Vermillion. Prepare to be moved.

I’m looking forward to listening to my new copy of The Book of Longing on my drive to Seaside, Oregon tomorrow.

After hundreds of shows over the years, Musichead in Medford is having its final show in a week.
