Bluegrass at the Scarlet Tree TONIGHT

August 13, 2010 by 2 Comments

I’m a sucker for local bluegrass bands, probably because my brother was in one (The Dustmakers). I enjoyed going to his shows…and hearing his horrible, horrible banjo jokes.

Gentlemen Buckhunters: Quite possibly the Old Spice Guys of bluegrass (judging from this picture anyway)

So when we got an email from Gentlemen Buckhunters about their show tonight near our neighborhood (The Scarlet Tree, 801 NE 65th Street, 9pm), I said I’d be happy to promote it on the Ravenna Blog.

Plus, they said they’d plug the blog from the stage! How cool is that?!

From the event’s facebook page:

This Friday, Gentlemen Buckhunters is opening a show at the Scarlet Tree. This is our second time playing at this venue, and we’re really excited to play there! We’re opening for Big Medicine. This will be a good show! Check out ours and Big Medicine online!!

Go to Gentlemen Buckhunters’ SoundCloud page to check out their sound (I’m partial to Drinking Dark Whiskey [ha ha]). They’ve also got a video teaser on facebook. To give main act The Big Medicine a listen (band members include brothers Chad and Nathan Jackson of Local 808 and Drop Six), hit their myspace page.

Signs of Life at Osaka

No, I STILL don’t know what’s going in, but here’s a few pictures of what has gone (physically) ON the outside of Osaka:

Two lamps and a painted door!

Autumn is upon us.  Never mind that it’s supposed to be 80 degrees today, or something.  The trees are turning, there’s lots of football on TV, school is in session; thus, autumn.

Walked to Third Place Books yesterday, after a bit of a hiatus from doing so.  Good timing on my part, as the mural on the outside of the building facing 20th had just started undergoing its extreme makeover:

Much more is gone today.  Two large holes are now visible.  Too bad about the mural, but the windows will be sweeeet.
