So this is very Portland. There's this newish bicycle shop on NE 42nd Ave right across the street from the Moon & Sixpence, which is where Foghorn has been playing in the corner every Sunday night for years. But this bicycle shop, Velo Cult, is also a pub. And they are now hosting The Gold Diggers every other Tuesday night, which is a new old time band featuring BHO member Isaac Enloe on banjo and bicycle frame builder Travis Cooper on fiddle. I popped in tonight for the first time to check it out and loved the place right away. Ran into Eric and Linnea from Flat Rock Stringband. After a while Flat Rock banjo player Brooks showed up. We got to talking surfing, 'cause Brooks just bought a new (used) 9' board. I used to surf on the Oregon coast with my kids and had a 9' Rueter. So now I'm thinking maybe I should get another board and get back on the water. But surfing aside, The Gold Diggers sounded great and will be a welcome addition to the Portland old time scene. And Foghorn will be playing a CD release party at Velo Cult on Sept 27. Looks like Velo Cult is a welcome addition to the Porltand old time scene as well. And they're hosting The Triplets of Belleville on October 10. How cool is that? :-)
