Oh,
the things we learn from the press packs spilled onto
our desks. Point in case: When we learned that Taj
Mahal "has made multiple appearances in several major
motion pictures," we decided to look these "motion pictures"
up. Apparently Taj has appeared in everything from underrated
Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (as "Gatekeeper")
to the overrated Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood
to the shamefully underpromoted Once Upon A Time
… When We Were Colored. Once we realized that
Taj became the "official blues artist of the commonwealth
of Massachusetts " on Feb. 8, we understood the magnitude
of this man, his music and his upcoming show at the McDonald
Theatre. See Wednesday Calendar.
Election
shenanigans got you all worn out? Lighten up, Eugene!
It's time to be funny and use humor to find what's
truly meaningful in life (and it ain't some man in
a suit). Register for the first and hopefully annual
Oregon Women's Comedy Festival this Friday
and Saturday at LCC. Featuring performances by Oregon
comedians, including The Hamazons (pictured), a variety
of workshops (such as "Letting Go" and "Writing Funny
for Money") and a panel discussion on "Finding Your
Comedy Niche," this festival couldn't come at a better
time. Go to 
Highland,
Heath and Holler is more than your basic Celtic
concert. With Scots fiddle master Alasdair Fraser
and his protégé, cellist Natalie Haas, the
accomplished Irish fiddle and guitar duo Martin Hayes
and Dennis Cahill (pictured) and fiddler Bruce Molsky,
look for modern influences — such as jazz —
to add some oomph to an already established folk tradition.
Hayes and Cahill alone are worth the price of admission.
Don't miss it. See Sunday Calendar.
