Fernando – Sept/Oct 2015 Tour Dates

W139-finalOn Sept 18, Fernando Viciconte will release his 7th solo album, titled Leave The Radio On (Fluff and Gravy Records).  Featuring Peter Buck (REM) on mandolin, and guitar, as well as Scott McCaughey (The Minus Five, The Baseball Project, The Young Fresh Fellows), the record stands to be Fernando’s finest to date.  The record has been highly anticipated since KEXP featured an early single from the record, “The Dogs”, as their Song of The Day back in October of 2014.

After a series of health problems that prevented him from touring for the better part of a decade, Fernando is finally healthy and eager to hit the road. “Most folks who tour at this level at the age of 46, they’re burnt out,” he says. “I have a new lease on life.”

Mike Coykendall to tour US Sept/Oct 2015

Coykendallwalls420x250On July 17, Mike Coykendall released his 4th solo record and 22nd overall, Half Past, Present Pending.  American Standard Time called it “a slice of seriously fuzzy, spaced-out folk music”, which seems a pretty accurate description. With this record, Mike had the idea to strip things down (mostly) to his live “rig”, which finds him playing an oversized Kay guitar, a tin can kick drum, and hi hat, all run through layers of distortion and delay. Of course, he took a few liberties in the studio, but the point remains that sounds on Half Past, Present Pending are pretty much what you’re going to get when you see a Mike Coykendall show.  If you’d like to see it for yourself, now’s your chance…

Aug 29 | Portland, OR | Star Theatre, w/Fernando (record release) & The Delines | 9pm | $10

Drunken Prayer releases new record – The Devil and the Blues

DevilandtheBluescoverweb

Today’s the big day! Drunken Prayer’s The Devil and The Blues hits the shelves of your favorite record stores and online establishments today.

Here are some excerpts from a few early reviews:

“Wit, romanticism, weirdness: Drunken Prayer hits that sweet spot once again” – Pop Matters

“a slurry of rockin’ back-beat, bluesy licks, filthy slide guitar, and angelic harmonies to boot” – American Standard Time

“Rebellious roots music with pentecostal zeal” – WNCW

“Lead track “Hellraiser” is adrenaline-fueled and takes no prisoners. The drums stomp, guitars gallop and Geer’s stand-and-deliver vocal style verges on violent. Wisps of smoke issue from the speakers — and there are still 11 tracks to go.” – Mountain Express

You can stream the record and purchase it here, or snag it from iTunes if that’s your bag.

Catherine Feeny and Chris Johnedis – California tour dates – August 2015

CFeenyCJohnedis_Jacket_Front_midresCatherine Feeny and Chris Johnedis continue to ride the wave of their self-titled debut lp. Hot off their live session at OPB Music, Feeny and Johnedis will hit Northern California for a string of dates this week. Armed with a ukelele, drums, and looped guitar, the duo relies on Feeny’s masterful songwriting and powerful voice, and their interplay with Johnedis’ abstract counter-rhythms. Together, Catherine Feeny and Chris Johnedis play music that feels at once challenging and ground-breaking, yet immediately accessible.
