Etta
James has flourished from the age of R&B and doo
wop in the mid-'50s through soul's late '60s heyday and
right up to today (her 1994 Mystery Lady paid loving
jazz-based tribute to one of her idols, Billie Holiday).
James' voice has deepened over the years, coarsened more
than a little, but still conveys remarkable passion and
pain. She belts it out at the McDonald Theatre. See Saturday
Calendar.
Don't
miss the annual fall Mushroom Festival and plant
sale at Mt. Pisgah Arboretum. Presented by the Cascade
Mycological Society and LCC, this event includes one
of the largest mushroom displays on the West Coast,
a huge plant sale, a scarecrow contest, children's activities,
hayrides, craft vendors, food, fresh cider, music, wine
tasting and more! See Sunday Calendar.
Hold
on to your beer mugs, 'cause Built to Spill is back at
the WOW Hall. Doug Martsch leads this alternative rock trio with
his haunting, well-wielded vocals and honed stage sense. The WOW
Hall show is the band's only Oregon appearance on their current
mini-tour, which starts in Eugene and ends in Los Angeles. Built
last played the WOW in 2001, and Martsch came through a couple
of times more recently promoting his solo album, Now You Know.
See Thursday, Nov. 4 Calendar.
