clap your hands say hell yeah … and all you have
to do is stop, collaborate and listen. Alternatively (because
we're an alt weekly we have to do this), if you want a
healthy cast of musicians playing dance music of a different
phylum, check out Ty Connor's Hot August Nightmare
at Sam Bond's. See Saturday Calendar.
Sometimes we have to wonder if Eugene really needs
another summer festival featuring wine. So far we've
had Art and the Vineyard, Wine & Garlic, and Wings
and Wine (yes, that's wine-tasting and bird-watching).
But, well … why not? This week we have the opportunity
to sip wine and get down with the blues at Secret
House Vineyards' Wine and Blues Festival. The

comprised of an all-star lineup of blues legends (and
if you've ever visited the Windy City in winter, you
know why the blues is best there). See Saturday Calendar.

handful and a half will be showing this Friday
in the Whiteaker district. Go to
