Thursday, Jan. 25 Johnny Walker and the Hitchhikers Whenever I discover a gifted songwriter, it excites me to no end. I mean, anyone can write about new love, lost love, sex, broken dreams, etc., and those topics get a bit annoying to listen to after awhile. Great songwriters can look outside the

When three tenors get together, there’s a butt-slapping bravado going on that smells an awful lot like a men’s locker room full of sweat and testosterone. Get together three divas, individually incomparable singers of great accomplishment, and you’d probably have something like rapier-sharpened nails and French perfume. Put

It’s quite a shame that our nightlife fun always has to end at 2 a.m. Stupid rules. That’s why I firmly believe in always having a refrigerator with at least a case of beer. Girls like me are constantly prepared, like a quick draw in a Western standoff, because you just

It’s funny how life tends to give you exactly what you need, precisely when you need it. Case in point: I’d been feeling a little lost in the shuffle amongst the Dockyard Derby Dames as one of the rookie New Bruisers. Just as I was beginning to doubt my involvement, I received

This is the good stuff. Portland artist Jason Greene’s paintings of bottles and jars and bags at the new Black Front Gallery in Olympia. The show is called “Contain” because all of the paintings are of containers of one sort or another. But what these forms contain is virtuoso painting

St. Helen’s Café I’m pretty much a sure thing. Not in a hooker type of way, but when it comes to restaurant reviews, I can call ’em. So listen up, Tacoma. For months now I’ve heard tell of an up-and-coming fish and chips restaurant, or chippie, as they’re called in London.

With impassionate lyrics, simple guitar compositions and his unusually high voice Santa Monica singer/songwriter Tom Brosseau has built a loyal following primarily centered on a solo acoustic format that is akin to Woody Guthrie. While he has broke free from his format on his previous recordings, Grand Forks (Loveless Records),
