HOLY GRAIL, CAULDRON, DARK BLACK

(Dante's, 1 SW 3rd) Read our article about Cauldron.


SHELLEY SHORT, DARREN HANLON, WHITE LIGHTER

(Mississippi Studios, 3939 N Mississippi) Perhaps you have heard Shelley Short's honeyed croon creep out through the doors of your favorite haunt in days past. She is certainly a Portland staple, though the past month has found her too far from home, traversing the country with Aussie friend and songwriter Darren Hanlon. And since 2009's meandering A Cave, a Canoo, Short has been fashioning a new record, Then Came the After, whose first track—a single called "Right Away," also featured on a recently released split 7-inch with the Gold Coats—exhibits Short dressing her spare, rustling folk in a jazzier swagger. Head to this show to see what's to come, and to welcome a beloved local songwriter back home. It's doubtful you'll be disappointed. RAQUEL NASSER
