EXTENDED HAPPY HOUR TONIGHT!

http://krisdeelaneandthehurt.com

Kris Deelane is making a loud noise in the Portland Rock scene. With her nine piece soul band The Hurt, Kris is amping up her performances in and around Portland and the Pacific Northwest. A true road warrior with years of solid touring experience, Kris is keeping it local and in the moment with shows all over town. From The Alberta Rose Theatre to The Doug Fir, McMenamin’s Edgefield to Al’s Den at the Crystal and a standing residency at Laurelthirst Public House, she and the band are everywhere. Summer 2015, Kris Deelane and The Hurt performed at Oregon Country Fair, What The Festival, and Dixie Festival, and also opened for 3 Dog Night, and Martha Davis and the Motels.

The Hurt is ten players strong and features a number of Portland music luminaries including Ned Failing (Mexican Gun Fight/Floydian Slips) on drums, Steve Kerin on keys (Too Loose Cajun Band, Atomic Gumbo, Rose City Kings and winner of the Cascade Blues Association’s “Keyboardist of the Year”), Greg Hyatt on bass (Five Easy Pieces, Zoo People, Berthaline, and Lapdog, featuring members of Toad The Wet Sprocket), Heidi Shuler (Merl Saunders) on percussion and Alan Toribio (Mexican Gunfight) on guitar. With her backing singers, The Lady Parts, and horn section, Kris is dipping into deep cuts and old school favorites from the soul sounds of the 60’s and 70’s. Think Motown to Memphis, Stax to Atlantic records, Aretha to Etta. It’s all here!

An epic evening with Brad “The Bear” Parsons, Ned Folkerth (Left Coast Roasters, Kassi Valazza, Caleb Klauder), Sydney Nash (TK & the Holy Know-Nothings, Nash Keyworks) and old pal Cyrus O’Malley all playing a couple sets of free frivolity!

Canary Room is the project of Portland based songwriter Maddy Heide. Over the last few years she has uploaded a massive selection of songs on her bandcamp. There you will find a magnificent display of songs in their rawest form; each collection feels like a peak into the brain and surrounding world of someone who has to keep writing songs in order to survive. Pulling from a long tradition of folk music thru many generations (Vashti Bunyan, Joni Mitchell, Bruce Cockburn, Gillian Welch, the Weather Station, etc.), Maddy pens pockets of beautiful, heart-wrenching and yet comforting song with little more than her guitar and voice. With this collection of all new songs, I (emmet) helped record on 4-track cassette and in doing so tried to amplify Maddy’s performance along with our unique setting: positioned among trees, an overgrown garden, and a plethora of birds. I hope you dig it as much as I do. much love :^)
