It’s a great thing when radio stations support their local music scenes – KINK FM here in Portland has been incredibly supportive over the years, and they’ve just released their 2nd annual “Local Music Sampler” which includes one of our songs, “Save me, Clara“, along with tunes from 19 other Portland artists.  Most of the songs KINK features on this sampler have also been getting a bit of airplay here in town from the kind folks at the radio station.  They tell me the CD samplers are available free of charge at KINK events this summer…

And speaking of KINK FM events, we’re going to be playing two KINK sponsored shows this week – we’ll be in Pioneer Square tomorrow (Thursday) for the KINK FM Noon Tunes show, playing a lunch hour set in downtown Portland.  We’ve had the opportunity to take part in this concert series for the past couple of years and it’s always a good time.  Then Friday afternoon my good friend Ehren Ebbage and I will be teaming up for a duo-acoustic show on the Portland Spirit for the KINK Escape Cruise music series.  We’re playing the afternoon cruise from 3pm to 5pm and will be playing some new tunes and some old favorites. Maybe an early exit from work on Friday is in order?

I hope you’re having a good week and hope to see you soon -
