Catherine Feeny and Chris Johnedis continue to ride the wave of their self-titled debut lp. Hot off their live session at OPB Music, Feeny and Johnedis will hit Northern California for a string of dates this week. Armed with a ukelele, drums, and looped guitar, the duo relies on Feeny’s masterful songwriting and powerful voice, and their interplay with Johnedis’ abstract counter-rhythms. Together, Catherine Feeny and Chris Johnedis play music that feels at once challenging and ground-breaking, yet immediately accessible.

Did you miss Hillstomp’s whirlwind set at the inaugural Fluff and Gravy Music Festival? Well, you’re in luck because they will be playing all over the Pacific Northwest from now through December.

The band has spent the better part of the last decade building a name for themselves among the US and European festival and club circuits, garnering a reputation for their raucous live sets and their ability to work an audience into a fervor. They have toured with such legends as The Devil Makes Three and The Reverend Horton Heat. The new record, Portland, Ore, (April 2014) is their first offering since 2010’s Darker The Night and represents a natural progression for the band with plenty of their trademark high-octane raw blues, mixed in this time with some genuinely tender moments and ballads.

Here’s where they’ll be…

Since releasing their acclaimed record, Better Days, in October of 2013, the Harmed Brothers have spent most of their days on the road, and that will continue for the foreseeable future. While much of their time has been spent in the Midwest/East coast, their next string of dates finally brings them to the West Coast again for the entire month of September. The shows will be a combination of stripped down duo performances and full band performances, but that matters little. The Harmed Brothers live shows have always been carried by the songwriting, vocal harmonies, and the undeniable charisma of core members, Ray Vietti and Alex Salcido. Be prepared for an unforgettable roller coaster ride through their catalog of rousing sing-alongs and tender ballads, and yeah, there will probably be whiskey involved too. Get out there and join the party…

“Nick Jaina is probably best known to Portlanders as a prolific singer-songwriter, but he’s taken some interesting creative side roads in the three years since his last record: He’s written three ballets, worked on a film soundtrack and composed music for a play in New Orleans. Primary Perception marks Jaina’s return to pop songwriting, and “Don’t Come to Me” is among its standouts. The track began as an unlikely attempt to write a song from the perspective of Mitt Romney, and later came to life when Jaina took what he had to band members during the sessions that ended up on the record. This isn’t quite the version we play on air — that one includes FCC edits — but it’s an earworm either way, the latest of many from one of Portland’s most consistent musicians”. —Jeremy Petersen
