Some cool choices for beautiful Thursday

Yesterday it was Main St, today it's a Freaks show in the park ... Couch Park (NW 20th & Gilsan) - Freak Mountain Ramblers ... 6 pm, free (one more Summer Concert in a Portland park!)

While you're in the vicinity, you might check out the Deschutes Brewery Street Fare - music and some of the best of Portland's food carts ...and the proceeds go to benefit Morrison Child & Family Services.  Admission is $5 and you can buy more food and drink tickets to sample tasty treats from the carts. Music by Langhorne Slim, Loch Lomond, Sallie Ford and more ... 5 - 9 pm

Of course there's always happy hour at the Laurelthirst with Lewi Longmire (6 pm, no cover) ... or you can catch happy hour at Biddy's with Morgan Grace tonight (6 pm, no cover).

The fine duo of bassist/vocalist Lisa Mann and pianist Mark Simon are at Wilfs ... 7:30, no cover

... and it's battling B3 gigs ... at Jimmy Mak's with the Mel Brown B3 Organ Band laying it down soulful and bluesy (8 pm, $5), or at the Blue Monk on SE Belmont with Organ LeRoi & The Donors (alter ego of The New Iberians) doing their weekly set now on Thursdays ... 9 pm, no cover

Great blues show at the Alberta Rose tonight with Chemekia Copeland.  Joe McMurrian opens ... 8 pm, $25


Choices ... always choices ....
