He's coming back just in time for us to have a full band blowout in Hood River, at the lovely CeBu Lounge attached to the Hood River Inn. Local bluegrass phenoms THE SHED SHAKERS open the show. The hotel has also announced that they'll have a room special for this show. $89 for the night which includes breakfast (must be booked in advance).

LAURELTHIRST PUBLIC HOUSE A three set songwriter sandwich! JAMES DEAN KINDLE, sometimes head of the Eastern Oregon Playboys, has recently relocated to Portland from Pendleton. MORGAN GEER, leader of Drunken Prayer, is back in town to release his latest CD. I'm here all the time, but not always playing acoustic. All three of us will play sets. http://drunkenprayer.com http://www.myspace.com/jdkindleeoplayboys http://www.laurelthirst.com DRUNKEN PRAYER FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10th ~ 8pm! SECRET SOCIETY BALLROOM Morgan Geer, head of Drunken Prayer, is returning to town to celebrate the release of his new album, Into the Missionfield. I think this album is a truly stunning piece of work, and I'm super excited to have been asked to play guitar in the band for the release show. Opening the bill are THE UKELADIES and MBOMB (Matt Brown's One Man Band). This is going to be a circus, note the early start time. http://drunkenprayer.com http://secretsociety.net LEWI LONGMIRE (acoustic) SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11th ~ 9:30pm ALBERTA STREET PUB I'll be playing a special acoustic set opening up for bluegrassy locals WAYWARD VESSEL. Our intention is to do an acoustic version of the whole band, but it might be even a little more stripped-down. I really like the Alberta St., it's a nice listening room. I'm glad to be playing there again. http://www.waywardvessel.com http://www.albertastreetpub.com LEWI LONGMIRE & ANNALISA TORNFELT MONDAY, FEBRUARY 13th ~ 8:30pm ~ FREE! WHITE EAGLE SALOON Oh boy oh boy oh boy! It's not very often anymore that I get to play with my old friend Annalisa Tornfelt (fiddle/vocals, Black Prairie), but tonight our joyous reunion will happen on stage. We're opening the night for this installment of the incredible SARAH GWEN PETERS' Monday night residency at the White Eagle. She's a musical force to be reckoned with. Closing the night will be our pal CASEY NEILL. All this for free, are you kidding me? Hot cha cha! http://www.reverbnation.com/sarahgwen http://www.caseyneill.org http://www.mcmenamins.com/events/98449-Sarah-Gwen-Peters BINGO BAND THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16th ~ 9:30pm LAURELTHIRST PUBLIC HOUSE Sticking around after the LLB happy hour slot, I'll be playing guitar with my soul brother of psychedelic guitar, Bingo Richey and band. Dave Reisch (Holy Modal Rounders) will be on bass, and Matt Cadenelli (Fernando) on drums. Bingo's music falls somewhere between heartworn earnest dusty Americana balladry and inter/outerstellar psych spaces explorations. Neat! http://www.bingoband.com http://www.laurelthirst.com MICHAEL HURLEY and the CROAKERS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17th ~ 6-8pm ~ FREE! LAURELTHIRST PUBLIC HOUSE Elegiac folk legend/hero Michael Hurley is returning to the Laurelthirst for a one-off happy hour show. It's looking like he'll be bringing THE CROAKERS, his rockandroll band to help the music along: likely me (guitar), Dave Reisch (bass- FMR, Holy Modal Rounders) and Rachel Brumberg (drums- Norfolk & Western, Jolie Holland, Decemberists) will be on hand to assist. Consider yourselves warned! http://www.snockonews.net http://www.laurelthirst.com McMENAMINS AL'S DEN RESIDENCY LEWI LONGMIRE (solo/duo) SUNDAY-SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19th-25th 7-10pm ~ FREE!
