Newly minted "Best New Artist in Portland" honoree and absolute treasure ePP is back! With well-deserved accolades flowing in and basking in the successful release of his latest album There's a Place for People Like You, ePP lends his rich baritone to a conversation on the NBA hot stove, giving of himself for the good of his musical community, and the vagaries of public toilets. You can catch him all the way live on Saturday, July 13 at the Liquor Store in Portland (with fellow "Best Of"-er Fountaine and the ever-best Hustle & Drone) and at PDX Pop Now! on Saturday, July 20.

And be sure to check out the Wildwood MusicFest over the weekend of July 19-21. Andy and Drew will be there...and you don't think you're better than them, do you?
