This Aug. 15, Music & Art in Wright Park 2009,
which began in 1993 as Music in the Park, returns to Tacoma â€"

As a sponsor of Music & Art in Wright
Park, the Weekly Volcano will highlight a band or two every day until
the Aug. 15 show, which runs noon to 8 p.m.
Today’s Music & Art in Wright Park band I'm pushing on you is James Hilborne and the Painkillers.
Back in June Weekly Volcano scribe Mark Thomas Deming sat down with the Painkillers. After spinning their new CD, Ghost Country, and chatting with Drew Schot, Billy Stambaugh, James Hilborne and Rick King, Deming tagged their music as old, weird America folk. Read the full story here.
Here’s a taste of the musical stylings of James Hilborne and the Painkillers:
