This Living Hand

The Urge always brings a lot of excitement and energy to their shows! They always rock out! HYAAAH!

First time Hapa concert fan- Fan for life! If you Love Hawaiian music, then look no more. Both Nate and Barry s performances was awesome. The hula dancing added the Hawaiian touch on stage. Nate s Bass Playing solo was fantastic. Barry s style of playing was unbelievable\u2026 I feel sorry for the strings on his guitars have the concert. I wished they could off played more of the songs from there first CD- Hapa but the new songs are great as well. Looking forward to seeing them again. HAPA Rocks da Islands

I haven't been to a live show this excellent in years. Cibo Matto has such good energy, and even the newer songs that I'm not as familiar with yet had me dancing enthusiastically. Would highly recommend the band.

Fantastic performance by the ídolo y maestro, Mikel Erentxun.

If I didn't own all of their albums... I will now! They were so personable. Made the intimate venue of the Birchmere even more intimate!

We had such a blast from the past. There was constant music from the opening of the concert to the end. It was great how all the stars kept coming back out to sing & play music with each other. Darius Rucker has a Great voice.

These guys have been together for almost 30 years and it shows when they play live, super locked in to each other and the songs are well chosen from all through their career. If you like their sound definitely go see them, you will enjoy it. Slightly repetitious, but what band isn't. Check out the FU.....

the sea and cake have been around for a long time now. they ain't just some kids trying to look cool. the music is good. i was particularly taken with newer song, "harbor bridges" and of course the old tearjerker, "parasol".

The best concert I have been to! Not only great music but also an inspirational and unforgettable night! She is an amazing woman!

I've been a Charles Mingus devotee since 1988 when I first picked up a copy of Right Now! When the Mingus Big Band started releasing recordings and touring in the 1990s I was thrilled. I've been trying to catch a live show for over a decade. I actually purchased tickets for previous tour dates in San Francisco and Bremerton, WA but couldn't make either one. Imagine how I felt seeing them on the performer list for the 2010 PDX Jazz Festival, right in my own back yard! The venue (Newmark Theater) was outstanding, the crowd was warm and receptive, and the Mingus Big Band's performance was STELLAR. You could try, but I doubt you could find such a wonderfully talented, dedicated and energetic group of musicians playing anywhere in the world today. Thank you Mingus Big Band and PDX Jazz Fest for making this jazz nut's dream come true!!
