Okay, not so freaky ... though considering our season to date, it is sunny today. Hopefully a trend in the making.
On to music .... and there's some excellent choices ....
Cascade Zydeco hosts a dance tonight at PPAA with one of my fave locals, the TooLoose Cajun Band. Tonight they'll have Steve Kerin with them on keys and who knows who else (maybe Paul Brainard on pedal steel, and they've been rehearsing with Steve, Reggie Houston, and Peter Dammann for a Waterfront Blues Festival performance) .... lace up those dancin' shoes and cut loose .... 8:30 pm, $10 (show up at 7:30 for a dance lesson)
In town tonight at the Crystal it's Robert Randolph & the Family Band. Randolph comes out of the "sacred steel" tradition, but has moved to include more blues and eclectic fare, which has garnered him a wide and well-deserved audience. His new CD, We Walk This Road, was produced by T Bone Burnett (good post about it in today's OMN) ... 8 pm, $25
The Woods is coming up on its one year anniversary and tonight has the very fine Mike Coydendall (just off the road with She & Him) with special guests Pancake Breakfast and Ash Reiter. Should be a fun show with raised voices and stompin' feet ... 9 pm, $7
Speaking of stompin', Hillstomp celebrates the release of its new CD tonight at the Wonder Ballroom. This duo makes some compelling rootsy, hill country blues ... for a couple of young guys, they sound timeless. good post at OMN about the band .... also on the bill is the Yogoman Burning Band and Sassparilla .... 9 pm, $10
And over at the White Eagle, it's a great triple bill of roots rock/Americana bands with Lewi Longmire, One Horse Shy, and featuring Sarah Borges and the Broken Singles. This is a great opportunity to see Borges, who has embarked on a cross-country tour from her home base in New England... and a bargian to boot. ... 9:30 pm, $6
