We had a great time Friday night at Artichoke music. My Oak Grove pals Alice Olsen and Bob Lawyer opened the show with a great set of originals. Here they are in action.

They were followed by Artichoke regulars Sophie and Time with there soulful folk style. Then yours truly.

Here's my setlist:
See See Rider
Last Go Round
Ring That Bell
A Life Well Lived
Spike Driver Blues/99 Year Blues
Embryonic Journey

Margaret Branch followed with a stellar set of folk originals. Her voice is reminiscent of folk singers such as Judy Collins. We were then treated to the Sunset Highwaymen and their acoustic americana. The night was topped of with a special appearance of San Francisco based Rin Tin Tiger.

As always it was a great crowd.

On Saturday we gathered at Spring Creek Coffee House in Milwaukie for our monthly open mic. It was great as always. We've started a new tradition of warming things up with a blues jam.

Followed by the benediction by Charlie Stevens.

It was a great night of poetry and music. Here's Lokie bringin' it!
