Today's guest is Jacob Miller, a singer-songwriter with a minimalist pop sensibility that feels timeless. After 7 years of leading a jazz sextet, his chops on guitar are smooth, yet dynamic.

He has toured extensively through America and Europe and recently appeared on NBC's The Voice working with Nick Jonas and James Taylor. Let's see what's next on Jacob's musical journey, welcome to the show!

Today's guest is Chris Hermsen. In my opinion, one of the best drummers I have seen hit the stage. From watching him play in Portland staples such as Sama Dams, to the dialed-in eccentric live show of Schaus, Chris shines with a special finesse to the kit. On the side he used to manage Baby Doll Pizza, one of the best slices in town. The rhythm is gunna getcha today. Chris welcome to the show.

Today's guest is Michael Krasovech, owner of Strum, the not-so-traditional guitar shop with a stocked beer bar, weekend shows and two adorable shop dogs. Michael and his family have created a place that connects instruments with players. Any given day you can roll into Strum, grab a beer and see all walks of life in the Portland community hanging out. Occasionally Michael takes a break from guitar repairs and plays guitar in the Portland based classic country group The Oregon Trailers. Before Strum, Michael played and toured in the Chicago based rockabilly, retro-country group The Riptones. We are recording this episode live on scene in Strum, forgive the wonky audio. Michael welcome to the show.

Today's guest is Dillon Bartell, bass player and front man of the Portland based indie band Yawning. Synthy, jazzy, thought-bending songs that move flawlessly with groovy bass lines, Yawning breathes a breath of fresh air into the city. You may also find Dillon spinning records at some underground parties, invite only events or some east side bars around town. Dillon welcome to the show.

This week's guest is Matt Langlais of the band Fixer and Cape Chacon. Matt writes, produces and mixes his songs all from home to deliver a indie lo-fi pop sound that gives you all the feels. With tones that are reminiscent of Pavement, but still feel fresh and unique, Fixer brings back rock music with a new perspective. Matt welcome to the show.

This week’s guest is Matt Dorrien, a lonely-hearted, whiskey-sippin’, piano ticklin’ singer-songwriter based in Portland, OR. You may have seen his performance on KEXP or caught a show on tour with grammy nominee and label mate Courtney Marie Andrews. His songs are a time capsule. Is it 1973? Did Randy Newman and Harry Nilsson have a baby? Let’s drown our sorrows to one of my favorite musicians/ bartenders in town, Matt Dorrien. Welcome to the club.

Forty feet tall have expansive music videos with planes, trains and automobiles. They just released their second full length record titled, "A Good Distraction". Jack welcome to the show

Today's guest is Robin Bacior. She is a Portland-based, multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter who has received praise from NPR's All Songs Considered, VH1, MTV and more. Robin's music will make you want to cozy up on a couch, sip some warm tea while the fire crackles in the distance.
