I recently had the privilege of attending two concerts - one in a cafe, the other in a living room. Folk music was performed on both nights. I went to the living room gig because Beatbeat Whisper had performed so magically at the Salem CoffeHouse Cafe the previous night. A modestly sized living room in deep SE Portland, dimmed lights, and two acoustic guitars made the night memorable. After experiencing such a great grass-roots event, I wanted to capture some of what I was feeling on a mixtape. Three of the bands are represented here: Beatbeat Whisper, Firs of Prey, and Whiskey Priest.
Well that's what inspired the creation of this one, thank you to all who made it happen on St. Paddy's Day. Cheers.

A long suffering woman's account of always being there for the man who always shows up when he's a bit verklempt, but always out the door the next morning. I have always thought this 60's soul singer's voice has been underexposed. I only recently made the discovery. Ninety percent of her songs are sad. SHOW LESS
