My picks for some upcoming shows . . . the budget edition!
Thursday
As usual, a great locals night - check out the shows (most of these are weekly gigs) of:
Lewi Longmire at the Laurelthirst . . . 6 PM, free (but feed the tip jar)
Lauren Sheehan at the Muddy Rudder . . . 8 PM, free (ditto on the jar!)
Pianist Ben Darwish commands the theater organ at The Chapel Pub . . . 7:30 PM, free
The Thad Beckman Trio is at O'Connors (7850 SW Capitol Hwy) . . . . 6:30 PM, $5
The Mel Brown B-3 Organ Group will be at Jimmy Mak's . . . 8 PM, $5
. . . and for something a little later in the evening for a jump start to your weekend . . . the Garcia Birthday Band is at the White Eagle. These veteran jammers have been evolving from a loose, occasional event-centered group into a consistently performing band. Check 'em out in their monthly WE gig . . . 9:30 PM, free
Friday
Lisa & Her Kin do their monthly Friday happy hour gig at the Laurelthirst . . . 6 PM, free
Miss Michael Jodell and Matt Brown will be tuneful at the Press Club . . . 8:30, free
Speaking of tuneful, Rebecca Kilgore, accompanied by pianist Tom Grant, will perform at Rafati's Encore . . . 7:30 PM, free
Kris Delmhorst and Jeffrey Foulcault are performing two shows at the Alberta Street Pub. The early one is sold out and tickets going fast for the late show. Highly recommended! . . . 7 & 9:30 PM, $15
Finally, the big news for next week is the official re-opening of Mississippi Studios! Excellent article about the renovation and reinventing of the venue at the Portland Mercury.
Maybe a few more thoughts coming for Saturday and Sunday . . . but catch some shows and do your part for the economy by supporting your local musicians! See ya at a show!

Izabella plays at the Goodfoot. Asher Fulero opens. It's his birthday and he's gonna play from 9:30-10:30; then one big set by Izabella. These guys are GOOD, Jim.
Recommended.
Cool! Thanks for the additional recommendation, Ken . . . always like others to share what I might have missed.
