Our third day of the Pickathon Indie Roots Festival appropriately started at the Woods Stage with Deep Dark Woods. After a week of listening to this year’s Winter Hours, it was exciting to see how Deep Dark Woods would sound live. Lead singer and guitarist Ryan Boldt harkens back to Neil Young’s early recordings as he glides through a sad and beautiful album of wandering men and unfaithful wom

The latest EP from Blitzen Trapper (the American Folk Rock group attached to Sub Pop) Black River Killer, is a meaty 7 track ep that sticks to the ribs. Logging in at just over 35 minutes, it's already as long, if not longer than some the albums I've been listening to this year, and already much more relevant than most of the albums I've listened to (nearly 3 a week).Upon repeated listening, I...

MADRID - The unrest that has gripped Greece is spilling over into the rest of Europe, raising concerns the clashes could be a trigger for opponents of globalization, disaffected youth, and others outraged by the continent's economic turmoil and soaring unemployment.

The Tipi Tent is getting rammed tonight. First Aid Kit filled it, J Tillman easily consumed the tent with all of his fans. And now Portland's Blitzen Trapper are next to fill the now bulging Tipi. Frontman Eric Earley said it reminded him of his days as a kid when his parents sent him away to camp to set one of these up.
