Weekend music picks

Going to be really brief this week, as I am heading off to the Bay Area for a quick visit and have just a couple of minutes to mention what you might want to check out:

• Mike Doughty at Mississippi Studios on Friday night for two shows (they might be sold out, but you can always try)
• Fernando and Lael Alderman at Dante's on Friday
• Robyn Hitchcock at the Doug Fir on Saturday
• Foghorn Stringband at the White Eagle on Saturday
• Wheatfield at Duff's Garage on Saturday
• Chuck Prophet at Mississippi Studios on Saturday (10 PM show)
• Iron & Wine at the Crystal Ballroom on Sunday
• Eilen Jewell Band at Mississippi Pizza on Tuesday (great price to check out a fine new artist - I'm going to try to get to this one)

Quick and to the point . . . . get out and I'll see ya somewhere . . . . just not this weekend.

Good stuff on horizon, but more on that next week.
