Wayne Hancock Live!
Where: Dante's
Date: 2007-07-14 13:00:00
Type:
Wayne makes music fit for any road house anywhere. With his unmistakable voice, The Trains reckless honky-tonk can move the dead. If you see him live, youll surely work up some sweat stains on that snazzy Rayon shirt youre wearing. If you buy his records, youll be rolling up your carpets, spreading sawdust on the hardwood, and dancing until the downstairs neighbors are banging their brooms on the ceiling. Wayne's disdain for the slick new swill that passes for real deal country is well known. Like he's fond of saying: "Man, I'm like a stab wound in the fabric of country music in Nashville. See that bloodstain slowly spreading? That's me." Look for the newest CD by Wayne Hancock, Tulsa, on Bloodshot Records.

Dinosaur Jr
Where: McMenamins Crystal Ballroom
Date: 2007-09-12 21:00:00
Type:
Dinosaur Jr. reunites for this brief series of shows, featuring original members J Mascis, Lou Barlow and Murph. All of the band's previous records have been reissued, in time for a new generation to enjoy. You can hear echoes of their sound every time a post-grunge band slugs out a chunky riff or when a jam band noodles its way to guitar nirvana. Dinosaur Jr was the perfect vehicle for singer/guitarist J. Mascis' unwieldy, gut-bucket guitar leanings, fusing them with singer-songwriter melodies and obfuscating lyrics that have become the hallmarks of grunge rock.

Fernando
Where: Dante's Caffe Italiano
Date: 2007-11-30 21:30:00

Fernando Viciconte is the man. Fernando is the band. Fernando has a voice that rivals Hank Williams for it's sheer creaking glory and songs that cut clean to the bone. A native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, Fernando spent years in the L.A. music scene fronting the hard rock band Monkey Paw before moving to Portland, Oregon, in 1994 to chart a new path. Focusing on folk, roots rock and country-western oriented material as both the solo artist Fernando and the fully realized band, 'Fernando,' Viciconte has truly blossomed as an artist and found his own voice since making the trek North.
