I’m coming to Portland September 7-10 for MusicFest NW, one of my favorite times of all the year! It’s like Christmas, but most of the songs are newer.
This Friday and next Friday, I’ll be playing music by bands playing at the festival. You can check out the roster for yourself at musicfestnw.com.
Here’s a commercial they did for it, unapologetically naming and shaming the Michael Bolton of the new millenium:
