Seems
like the big musical acts come to Eugene in waves. One
week we're grateful enough for an appearance by some guy
who used to be in that once-famous band, the next week
we're flooded with so many good options the choice will
simply come down to how many greenbacks we have stuffed
under our beds. This week it seems there's a duel between
the WOW Hall and McDonald Theatre to see who can rock
more. A one-two punch on Tuesday and Wednesday with singer-songwriting
maestros Andrew Bird (pictured) and Ben Kweller,
respectively, seems to give the WOW Hall a youthful edge.
However, the staid formula of Celtic pub rock and virtuosic
funk has been proven time and time again in Eugene, so
the McDonald lineup of Flogging Molly on Saturday
and G. Love & Special Sauce on Wednesday may
have that déjà vu wild card. Well, the good
news is Candlebox canceled their show for next week, so
at least we're not faced with a once-famous grunge band
back to make a buck. See Calendar. 
As much as we hate to admit it, the rain clouds have
returned from their brief sojourn in the South Pacific.
They brought us many gifts from their vacation and
will soon be showering us with goodies aplenty. OK,
OK, it's fall (officially this Saturday), so out with
the consistent sunshine and in with the Corvallis
Fall Festival this weekend! A musical mainstage
of local favorites, art on display (including pottery
by Kenneth Standhardt, pictured right), film festival,
children's stage, wine tasting and a Saturday night
street dance — what better way to shake off
the rain clouds and warm up to the dazzling panorama
of fall in the Willamette Valley. See Corvallis listings.
Artists,
bohemians, burlesque dancers, sharpshooters, Roman
slaves, British steel workers … what blue collar
occupations are left for the Broadway musical treatment?
Well, how about gas station clerks and waitresses?
Now showing at the Actors Cabaret, Pump Boys
and Dinettes promises a musical and comedic
tour de force of tip-your-hat-and-nod country
western songs and significant hijinks. See Friday
Calendar.
