F4tF: Happy 4th of July

Jon Hochstat July 2, 2010 No Comments

Friday for the Foodies is taking a long weekend for the 4th of July. I will be unplugged, at the beach and manning the grill for most of the weekend.

I thought I’d share some fun (and educational) videos that highlight foods that we all eat on the 4th of July and the best way to prepare (and eat) them.

Enjoy the videos and I hope you all have as relaxing a weekend as I plan to.

The 9th Annual Northwest String Summit (NWSS) returns to North Plains, Oregon for three days of music and camping July 16 – 18. Set at the scenic Horning’s Hideout, just 35 minutes west of Portland, the festival features some of the best and brightest acts in acoustic-jam music.

Here is a glimpse of what to expect at the NWSS in order of appearance.

Darol Anger’s Republic of Strings :: Friday, July 16 :: 6:00-7:15pm

Darol Anger’s name is synonymous with contemporary fiddling. His music draws influence from the traditional improvisational forms of bluegrass and jazz, while incorporating themes of classical, folk, pop and world flavors. Anger’s current development, The Republic of Strings, acts as an inter-generational exploration of string music. Their genre melding approach is bound to sweep one away with the celestial sounds of the traditional string quartet.

Sting: UNO Lakefront Arena, New Orleans, LA 6.26.10

Leslie Michele Derrough July 2, 2010 No Comments

New Orleans was lit up recently by a full moon hovering over the city, creating an enchanting ambience to an evening filled with music from one of today’s biggest stars. Backed by the divine Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, former Police front man Sting cradled and released compositions from his vast oeuvre of songwriting accomplishments.

Wolf Parade: Expo 86

Shawn Donohue July 2, 2010 No Comments

With Expo 86, Montreal’s Wolf Parade has expanded their electro-pop indie rock in size and scope while delivering danceable efforts that their fans will devour. Guitars and keyboards sound grandiose over wordless choruses; large enough to fill up some arenas that band is on the road to headlining. Dan Boeckner and Spencer Krug are the most cohesive as song writers they have been in this bands career, coalescing easily throughout and making it more difficult to recognize who wrote which song.

Phish: A Newcomer’s Take on 2010

June 2010 has been good to Phish: riding the momentum from a widely-praised New Years run, as well as solo tours from Trey Anastasio and Mike Gordon, the band has, over the course of about a dozen shows, effectively answered all of the questions raised during 2009’s comeback tour, returning to the spontaneity and fiendish musicality that drove so many to catch as much live Phish as possible.

Another transformation has occurred, too. The fanbase, and the underlying tour community, has also hit its stride, bringing excitement and passion for Phish’s music that far surpasses that of last year. A number of factors are responsible for this change, but one of the most significant has been newer fans settling in and finding their own niche. Being a relative newcomer to the band, this has certainly been the case for me, as I’m sure it has been with many others out there.

There are a number of writers who are far more qualified to discuss the music itself than I could ever hope to be, and so I’d like to focus more on the influx of new fans brought in during 2009, and my own experiences as one of those fans. READ ON for more of Eli’s take on Phish in 2010…
