If you're not going to Edgefield, you might want to check out:
Rollin' out of Austin, Texas to the Northwest will be Wayne "The Train" Hancock at Dante's. Wayne's riding the line between the swing of Bob Wills and honky-tonk of Hank Williams. It's a sweet spot. . . 9:30 pm, $10
Cana Son is at the Someday Lounge . . . the music will match the weather with the vibrant sounds of Cuban son. I dare you to sit still for this . . . 10 pm, $8
. . . and Johnnie Ward's Sharkskin Review will be at the Mock Crest Tavern. They did a great swinging set at the blues festival . . . 9 pm, $??
Sunday
There's two benefit shows you might want to check out.
At the Aladdin, The Cowboy Junkies and Son Volt will be doing a benefit for Ethos Music. Two national level acts commendably lending a hand for a great local organization. . . . 8 pm, $45
And for those of you who've been around the Portland music scene for more years than you'll admit, there's a benefit at Duff's garage for drummer Pete Jorgusen, who is battling leukemia. Music begins at 5 pm and a $10 donation is requested.
Monday
Some fine latin music will have folks up and dancing at the third concert in the Sellwood Riverfront Park series. Come hear Conjunto Alegre at 6:30 pm at this free show in Portland's annual summer neighborhood parks music series.
And over a Mississippi Studios it will be the New Orleans trio of Anders Osborne, Johnny Sansone and Clarence Bucaro. Touring as The Southern Troubadours, this should be a fine display of songwriting and playing. . . . 8 pm, $15
See ya at a show!
