Sassparilla, PDX

Musical Guest: Sassparilla was fermented in the bold-dank regions of Chicago and Pittsburgh and spewed onto the sidewalk of Portland\’s 24th & Alberta from the mouth of a 5-gallon bucket with homemade instruments in their clutches: a cigar-box guitar made from an old jewelry box, a washtub bass beaten with a stick, a polka dotted 5 gallon bucket drum kit with rusty break-drums & a hat-box bass, washboards and a fiddle/harmonica duo that interjects like a muscular horn section. With passion, fury, speed, hustle and emotion, the whiskey rains like hellfire, the fingers fly over resonators, and these folks muster their collective will to never play like cowards.

Find out more about Sassparilla here, on their website.

Other Special Guests to be named later, perhaps even the night of the show…
