Charles Bradley, Aladdin Theater, MFNW 2011, Portland OR

September 9, 2011

This was a ridiculous show. Gamma radiation hot. Aladdin crowd smiling. Sooner or later, people will hear this music again. Either by Charles Bradley or someone younger. It resonates.

A Perfect Circle, Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, Portland OR

August 28, 2011
