With April 15th looming, I figure my procrastination can continue just a little longer - what better way not to think about 1040s and Schedule Cs then to head out to some live music .... here's a few for tonight and tomorrow.
Friday
For early music, check out Woodbrain at the Laurelthirst for their monthly 2nd Friday happy hour show ... 6 pm, no cover
Claudia Schmidt is in town and performing tonight at The Woods with her good friend (and Portlander) Mary Flower. Whether performing folk, blues or jazz over her almost 40-year career, Claudia has been a consummate entertainer and continues to tour as a vibrant and vital member of the world's music community .... 8 pm, $15
