Scott Law at Cebu Lounge
This week at CEBU Lounge:
Friday, Sept. 27: Scott Law & Damian Erskine w/Anna & The Underbelly, 9:30 p.m. – Guitar and bass masters. Opening act features Anna Tivel from the Shook Twins.
“Musician-songwriter Scott Law embodies the ideal of the steel-string guitar master. Scott’s original songs and story-like solos come straight from the heart of rock, rhythm and blues, California country and post-Monroe bluegrass, merging timeless tradition and modern experience into a spontaneous, artful expression.”
Saturday, Sept. 28: Local Animal presents: The Dirty Moogs, 9:30 p.m. – Analog synthesizer dance party.
“Dream the dream that was electronic music in 1977, a simpler time when robots were still cool, nobody except nerds cared about synthesizers, and analog synths were a dirty affair. Or, at least as dirty as methodical, machinist German electronic specialists would allow. While Boise, Idaho,-based trio The Dirty Moogs twiddle their knobs in homage to their synthesized heroes (Kraftwerk, Sparks, et. al) they add the element long forgotten by synthesizer music: fun.”
Best Western Hood River Inn, 1108 E. Marina Way; 541-386-2200.
