THIS WEEK AT THE CLUBS:

  Tony Furtado
Never to be seen out of doors without little dark oval sunglasses, Furtado tosses funk, jazz, blues, Irish and American folk into a blender, sets it on high, and then pours culturally rich and groovy musical smoothie into the ears of concert goers around the nation.
Wednesday, Wild Duck.

  Jon Dee Graham
Jon's one of those rare musicians who spells his first name with three letters when the rest of the country mostly uses four. He compounds his assault on American nomenclature by having a three letter middle name. His last title, however, is a wonderful preschool snack. This Austin singer/guitarist's latest release features musicians from the groups Cracker and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Opening for Hot Club Sandwich.
Saturday, Sam Bond's Garage.

  Benefit for the Green Party
Irene Farrera, Bindaas, Casey Neill, Walker T. Ryan and Barbara Healey toss in their musical cents to raise money for the party of Greens. The lineup specializes in Venezuelan, Middle Eastern, Celtic, American folk and blues music. A special discount is available for folk toting stubs from the Nader speech. That's one smiling strummer.
Thursday, Cafe Paradiso.

Feminists and Blues
And benefits and bluegrass.
By Dave Gingold

 
Le Tigre performs at WOW Hall Tuesday...
.
 
This week it's in the oodles, friends. Well, he's not really musical, but Ralph Nader will be present at a benefit dinner at Cafe Paradiso the 7th. Afterwards, there will be a benefit concert for the Lane County Pacific Greens Party, featuring Irene Farerra, Barbara Healy, Bindaas, Walker T. Ryan, Casey Neill and some surprise guests. You get a discount off your admission if you bring your ticket stub from Nader's speech.

The 8th, up at the Coburg Grange Hall (and am I not always nattering on about shows at the Granges?) you get bluegrass bigwigs in the form of guitarist Jim Hurst, bassist Missy Raines, banjo player Bill Evans, and mando man Steve Smith, as part of the IBMA Award Winners tour. Listen for these cats live on KRVM at 5 pm. Hurst and Raines were named as 2001 Guitar Player and Bass Player of the Year, respectively, by the International Bluegrass Music Association. You might know Bill Evans from his work with Dry Branch Fire Squad. The Emerald Valley Boys open.


THIS WEEK: The 7th brings the grindcore of Sacramento's 26 Weeks to Samurai Duck, with Conception opening. Acoustic blues rules the evening of March 8th, as Terry Robb, Bill Rhoades and Alan Hagar blue up the WOW Hall. The elegant period jazz of Hot Club Sandwich is at Sam Bond's Garage the 9th, with Jon Dee Graham opening. Also on the 9th, reggae from More Time, Vibe Nation, Ichelle & the Circle of Light, and The African Kings is at the WOW. This show is a Celebration of the Life of Michael D, a prominent figure in Oregon reggae for many years, who passed away last December.

The Cuban music of Son Milao is at Sam Bond's the 10th. Those Zappa revivalists Project Object return to town the 10th, with Ike Willis (you know, Joe, from Joe's Garage) and Napoleon Murphy Brock. The heavy sounds of Stark Raving Naked resound within John Henry's the 10th, with Wallace and Mosaic opening.

It's a night of "Feminist Rock" at the WOW the 12th, in the form of Le Tigre, Chicks on Speed and Tami Hart. Le Tigre, a trio featuring Bikini Kill-er Kathleen Hanna, lays down quirky, noisy, poppy pop with some balls to it on their Feminist Sweepstakes CD. Listen to "On Guard"  it's a fairly thorough ass kicking.

Chicks on Speed's The Re-Releases of the Un-Releases is full of art school shenanigans that evoke The Flying Lizards at their better moments, maybe. Alpha Charlie is at the Downtown Lounge the 13th, with Uzbek Dog opening.
