The
McDonald Theatre welcomes the Derek Trucks Band.
Derek Trucks got his first five-dollar guitar at a garage
sale at the age of 9, and by 1999 he was asked to play
slide guitar for the Allman Brothers Band. Now that's
knowing your scales. His 2002 release, Joyful Noise,
was dubbed one of Guitar World's "100 Essential
guitar Albums." Marcus Eaton and the Lobby opens the show.
See Friday Calendar.
Toots
and the Maytals perform Sunday night at the Jungle.
Toots Hibbert's newest album, True Love, features
special guests Eric Clapton, Bootsy Collins, Ben Harper,
Keith Richards, Bonnie Raitt and many others performing
Toots' music. The music community comes together to
honor the man who coined the term "reggae" many years
ago in Kingston, Jamaica. Full of life, a Toots concert
is always a high, high energy event. See Sunday Calendar.
Arianna
Huffington, nationally syndicated political activist
and author, speaks at the McDonald Theatre. A dinner
with Huffington also takes place at Café Paradiso,
and the two events benefit Money is Not Democracy's
campaign finance reform ballot initiative campaign in
Oregon. See Thursday, May 6 Calendar.
You

ASUO Women's Center and Sexual Assault Support Services, Take
Back the Night seeks to unify the community in awareness of violence
against women. See Thursday, April 29 Calendar.
