Tonight! Tonight in Music: Pickin' On Sundays with Shoeshine Blue
Posted by Ethan Jayne on Sun, Jul 18, 2010 at 9:00 AM
QUIET LIFE, SHOESHINE BLUE, THE DIMES (Doug Fir, 830 E Burnside) If sitting in the sun guzzling PBRs—delivered to you in a bucket, no less—is wrong, then friends, I never want to be right. Doug Fir's "Pickin' on Sundays" series is the perfect excuse to waste a sunny weekend afternoon with copious amounts of domestic beer and free music on their patio. Recent transplants Quiet Life sound like they stumbled from Big Pink, with a rambunctious roots sound that would make Robbie Robertson smile from ear-to-ear (then maybe call his attorney to make sure Quiet Life's "Storm Clouds" wasn't lifted from his back catalog). The band—not The Band—have a new record entitled Big Green due out in September, and chances are you'll hear some of it in the environment best suited for their laidback sound: outside, in the sun, beer in hand, and with friends close by.
