Great local sound makers Shiny Eyes will be teaming up with Kit and Mike from a similarly synthy starship called Elegant Humanoid for a dance with the devices under the pale moonlight. Filling out the bill is E. Ray Béchard who you might remember from last Friday’s gig at the Miniplex. This is going to […]

It’s an early-week metal night in Eureka, but tonight’s venue isn’t ye olde comedy club, but rather, the Siren’s Song Tavern a few blocks deeper into Old Town. There at 6:30 p.m., you will find a fine mix of touring and local grinders, with Paradise’s Aberrance, Contra Charge from Chicago, and Minneapolis’ Infuriate holding up […]

At 5 p.m. at Six Rivers Brewery, Oryan Peterson-Jones plays a free set of his world-traveling inspired guitar picking. Two hours later at 7 p.m. at the Outer Space, you will find […]

Roselit Bone is back in town. This Portland band is one of the few acts I have had the pleasure of seeing live from the early days of covering this beat and that just gets better every time. For those unfamiliar, imagine an ensemble act with a heavy Western vibe, like a less jittery Wall […]

Australia has a way of cutting out all the bullshit from American culture and leaving in all the greasy and gory fun bits. There are many examples of its righteous offerings since the days of AC/DC and The Road Warrior, but lately there have been a lot of great garage bands breaking containment from the […]

Portland’s best fruit-flavored funk trio Sweet N’ Juicy is back at it again, stopping at the Siren’s Song Tavern tonight at 8 p.m. to make some hot jam.

It’s the annual tribute and birthday show celebrating the life and music of departed celestial folkster Linda Faye Carson, who walked through the out door of this realm and off to destinations untold nearly two years ago. Her friends in LodeStar and Soul-A-Mente are keeping her candles lit against the winds of time. Which means […]

Portland, Oregon’s Fox Medicine is a metal band with bright imagery, referring to their genre as “bubblegum doom.” Which is fairly on the mark, as far as I can recall from the last time I caught their act when they rolled through town. Tonight these glossy blitz-makers will be posted up at the Siren’s Song […]

Jenny Don’t and the Spurs are one of the finest country acts on the West Coast, with a repertoire of covers and originals that walk the line of classy, sassy and old time fun. I’ve always enjoyed this group, so I was pleased as punch to see a stopover on their tour tonight at the […]

Not to beat the theme into the dust, but since we are nearing Thanksgiving, I’m going to continue this “jam roll” we are on and suggest one more free open jam night. This one is at the Siren’s Song Tavern and runs for about an hour, starting at 8 p.m. It’s usually a Grateful Dead […]

Here’s a night of punk in various forms from straight-up to folksy going down at the Siren’s Song Tavern.

Just $10 gets you all three bands and everything kicks off at 8 […]
