If you a fan of great vocals, two fine young up and coming notables of Americana music will be at Mississippi Studios tonight.
Aoife O'Donovan (of Crooked Still) and Heather Masse (of The Wailin Jennys) unite to wail and still the ears and hearts of west coast audiences this April 2009. Aoife and Heather were classmates, collaborators, and friends while attending The New England Conservatory of Music from 00'-04'. Five years later, both having made a name for themselves in the music world, they reunite joining forces to sing together again.
I've heard them both and they're really fine vocalists (especially Heather) . . . and will be backed by a full band. Should be fine night of music . . . . 8 pm, $13
On the radar for the weekend are two benefit shows to note -
First, on Saturday, there's the annual Billy Holiday Tribute Night at Mississippi Studios. This is a benefit for Siren Nation. A host of fine singers will tackle the Holiday catalog including Stephanie Schneiderman, Michael Jodell, Valerie Day, Katie Sawicki, Carrie Bella, Myshkin's Ruby Warblers, and Acoustic Minds . . . 8 pm, $12 advance/$15 door
Second is a Parkinson's Disease benefit, the Shaker's Ball, that is being held on Sunday afternoon at the Kennedy School that will feature Bart Ferguson, the Lisa Mann Band, and the Pillar French Connection (Paula Sinclair was also on the bill, but has had to cancel).
The public is invited to shake, rattle, and rock 'n' roll at the Kennedy School as several great bands come together to heighten awareness of early onset Parkinson's Disease and to benefit The Parkinson Center of Oregon at OHSU and Parkinson's Resources of Oregon. Signed CDs will be available at the event, with profits going to PCO and PRO. . . . 1-5 pm, $10 (all ages show - under 16 free).
More on the weekend tomorrow . . . .
