Burney Chair in the woods

Tomorrow night features the return of Exhausted Prayer to Southern Oregon. I wish I could be in two places at once, but I will be in the front row at Coors Field (enroute to Mexico) instead of at Club 66.

Today’s photo comes from last night’s show which also featured Penitent.

The August 6 show is all ages and will begin shortly after 5 p.m. so bring your kids and have Uzi make you dinner before the bands hit the stage.

Jym Harris of Sylent Storm

There is a four band metal show in Medford tonight. RattleheaD (SoCal) and Deathblow (SLC) are the bands travelling through.

RattleheaD has had this show listed as August 4, but I understand they will be playing August 3, not August 4, at Musichead. Things will get started about 6 p.m.

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.

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. 😉

New Britt Performance Garden @ Britt Festivals

Saturday night was my first time to Britt in 2014. Several improvements have been made including the new Britt Performance Garden for the first act of the evening. This new stage is beautiful, and it is in a shady location when the rest of the hill is in bright, hot, sunlight.

Jonathon McKinnon of Numinosum

I’m hoping Numinosum’s show at Johnny B’s a few nights ago wasn’t a one-off kind of deal.

The Delineators with the burrito man @ Club 66

The Delineators are always fun to watch and easy to listen to with their surf rock tunes. But my favorite part of their set is the Blue Oyster Cult medley in which an audience member is handed a cowbell and told to go at it. At their show earlier this week that person turned out to be one of the finest burrito makers north of the Mexican border. I don’t know his name, but you can find him in the food court of the Stevenson Union once SOU begins again in fall (assuming he didn’t graduate).
