I’ll be posting a new show here on Wednesday or so, but I to invite you to check out the latest two in-studio sessions I’ve done at opbmusic: Point Juncture, WA and Blue Giant.

Both are Portland bands.

Point Juncture, WA is a four-piece, fronted by Amanda Spring, who also plays drums. Their 2005 album, Mama Auto Boss, still makes it into my player pretty regularly. Their recent follow-up, Heart to Elk, does not disappoint.

Blue Giant is a new band, started by Kevin and Anita Robinson, who have made music as Viva Voce for years. They recently started writing songs with a more southern feel, and recruited friends to play them with them. The results are fantastic.

Enjoy!
