7th - Review/article in Oregonian A&E : http://www.oregonlive.com
“ In most cities, Tuesdays can be a dreadful, dead quiet night for live music. Not so in Portland. Among the ancient brick and timber, the Eagle is a venue perfect for McMurrian to spin his spellbinding yarns... an edgy, insistent and hypnotic swirl of delta - and hill style blues that he picks with a one step closer to hell aggression…but It’s the depth of his songwriting and smoldering voice that set him apart…whether he’s a prophet or pariah is up to the listener; regardless, McMurrian is a formidable old soul whose music will haunt you to your bones.” Don Campbell, Oregonian

1st
- Opening for the legendary HoneyBoy
Edwards at Mississippi
Studios in Portland - $15- 8pm show
This
man is the finest bluesman in the world in Joe's opinion, next to say L. Red.
Honeyboy traveled with that guy Robert Johnson and then recorded for the the
Library of congress under the eye of John Lomax
around 1940. Honeyboy plays the old style blues, before it completely got standarized
by the city influence. His sound is raw, very
raw and not for the light hearted, but well worth the effort if you appreciate
the blues.
