It’s June and it feels a lot like summer at times even here in the usually soggy in springtime Pacific NW. I’ll be featuring songs about bicycling to get you in the mood to go out for a bike ride in the fine June weather.
Also featured are summer-y songs about the St Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes, songs about mountains, great woman singers who are also virtuoso bottleneck slide guitarists, and songs for Juneteenth.
Featured Portland artists include Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer, Kate Power & Steve Einhorn, Mary Flower, Asleigh Flynn & the Riveters, and Portland “newcomer” Darryl Purpose.
Other featured artists include Milwaukeean Willie Porter, Canadian David Francey, Slide guitarists Kerri Powers, Rory Block, and Bonnie Raitt (playing with slide virtuoso Lowell George), Lord Huron, Our Native Daughters, and Solomon Burke with the Blind Boys of Alabama.
