After nearly 20 years of shows on East Burnside, the iconic music venue the Doug Fir Lounge will be shutting down at the end of this week. It will be reopening early next year in the space once occupied by the now-shuttered late-night restaurant Le Bistro Montage, but it's still the end of an era. So today on City Cast Portland we're talking with Annie Ostrowski, director of marketing for the Doug Fir. She's telling us about what we can expect from the new location and why we shouldn't be sad — we should be excited.

We discuss: Jordans ties to the Sauce going all the way back to his great grandpa writing the original “Song of Oregon”, his life of music being a blessing and a curse, playing in a band with three Wurgler brothers (and a near brotherly brawl in the studio), finding balance between music and life, scoring a film and winning “Best Original Score”, a shout out to Doug Fir Lounge, and where you can follow him and listen to his music
Back in 2006, a group of cellists in Portland got together for what they thought would be a one-off performance at the Doug Fir Lounge. It wasn't. Rather, it was the beginning of a long and expansive journey featuring over a hundred different members and well over a thousand different pieces of repertoire.

This woman is a powerhouse. Not only in vocals and performance, but also in how she communicates and sees the world…and she has the most enviable mane of hair i’ve ever seen! There is a mystery that surrounds Kris for me, like she could be a character out of a kerouac novel. When she’s on stage she gives herself completely to the performance and it feels like you’ve known her all your life. But run into her at a coffeeshop, and she’ll be polite and friendly, funny and warm, while exuding the sense of knowing the secrets of the world but she’ll never tell you.She moved to Portland from California 20+ years ago and is unafraid to talk about her part in gentrification - displacing other people when she moved into NorthEast Portland and how folks now are still being displaced by “development & progress”. This woman knows her heart and is fearless in talking about the things most of us would rather not.She was half of the duo Kris & Adam when she arrived in the Northwest, which later became Sweetjuice. Decades of touring and living the troubadour lifestyle came to a halt when her mother became ill and she had to remain in portland to caretake. So… she created a 10-piece soul band called The Hurt and played about as much as a band can play regionally during the 5 years she was tethered to Portland. Kris DeeLane and The Hurt consistently play shows at Alberta Rose Theater, Doug Fir Lounge, and The Laurelthirst. Kris is also a very key figure in The Next Waltz - a tribute to The Band’s “Last Waltz” by many of Portlands finest musicians to raise money for The Jeremy Wilson Foundation.In this podcast, Kris DeeLane dives deep into many things other people might gloss over.*Explicit Language*We’d like to thank our very first sponsor for SONGBONES Podcast!!Chickadee RemedyMUSIC CREDITSOPHELIA - (INTRO/OUTRO) - Les Hayden HTTPS://LESHAYDEN.BANDCAMP.COMSouthern Church - Jeremy Sherman (PRS) / Lynne Publishing (PRS) - http://neosounds.comRound The Bend - John Francis Jorgensen (BMI) / Lynne Publishing (PRS) - http://neosounds.comBad Woman - Julio Kladniew (SADAIC) / Lynne Publishing (PRS) - http://neosounds.comRECORDED AND HOSTED BY MICHELLE MCAFEE (MUSIC / PHOTOGRAPHY)© 2018-2019 SONGBONES MAGAZINE AND PODCAST
We’re back in the World Cup Coffee and Tea at NW 18th and Glisan for another OMN Coffeeshop Conversation. They’ve finished completely re-doing the place and it’s fabulous. You should stop in and check it out. With me today is Dylan Magierik who twenty years ago founded Badman Records. Over that time they’ve put out a whole lot of albums including Starfucker, My Morning Jacket and many others. They’re having a twenty-year anniversary celebration at Doug Fir Lounge on Saturday, June 30 featuring three Badman bands: The Builders and the Butchers, N. Lannon and TENTS. Dylan is also a recording engineer, among other things, and one of the partners in the Type Foundry recording studio. Did you think record labels were a thing of the past? Apparently not. What kind of person keeps a small record label alive? Let’s find out. The tune at the end is "Rawnald Gregory Erickson The Second" from STRFKR's Badman album STRFKR.

Booking agency Monterey International represents over 100 artists, from Van Morrison to Anais Mitchell. After agent Josh Brinkman offers his perspective as an artist representative, we hear from Velena Vego of legendary Athens venue the 40 Watt Club. She's celebrating 25 years as the 40 Watt's talent buyer.
