Lloyd Jones will be jumpin' and funkifyin' the Gemini (at Rt 43 & 'A' Ave) in Lake Oswego with his six piece band (horns included!). This will be too much fun. Or just plenty of fun with the always entertaining Mr. Jones. Have mercy! 9 PM, $8

Sunday
Mentioned the Mississippi West Fest in an earlier post. It celebrates the first year of KMHD's Mississippi West (Saturdays @ 3PM), is a fundraiser for KMHD, and features an impressive lineup of artists.
A week of outstanding shows at the Aladdin kicks off with Mark Hummel's Harmonica Blowout featuring Mark, Lee Oskar (War), Magic Dick (J. Geils Band), and Rick Estrin (Little Charlie & the Nightcats). Blow your face out! 8 PM, $24
More on the upcoming Aladdin shows and a couple of others for next week in another post . . .
