from HAIL! HAIL! ROCK & ROLL directed by Taylor Hackford (1987)
This is an amazingly uncomfortable band practice that had Chuck Berry and Keith Richards fighting for the alpha role just a little bit. First Chuck gets mad that Keith messes with his amp then he proceeds to give Keith a guitar lesson on how to play his part. Pretty funny!

| The idea of the song circle is to trade on some of the inspirations that songwriters share when getting to express their craft with each other. This should be a lot of fun and I look forward to hearing Hunter and Chelsea play. – Matty CharlesJoin us for an early-show of songs and stories!!Constant Clip Records artist, Hunter Paye has spent years doing thousands of miles of touring each year, usually landing in Portland, OR., Austin, TX, or the woods of Vermont; and you can feel all three in his writing.“His songwriting is detailed and clever…the guy can sing, and clearly takes an incredible amount of joy in doing so. It’s music that comes from a pure place…”(Casey Jarman Willamette Week).
Chelsea Smith’s voice cuts through the air to the heart. Founder of the experimental project ‘Sewblue’, she currently lives in Portland Oregon. |
This is an excerpt from a great documentary about Leonard Cohen that was made by the Canadian Broadcasting Company quite a long time ago. It kind of sums up all the reasons that I love and admire the creative intelligence of this profoundly talented artist.

Come out and experience the second Matty Charles & the Magnificent Hearts show at a great old Tavern in Ladd’s Addition – Southeast Portland. We will be playing some brand new songs for all the drunks in the house, and of-course, our own special drinking songs and stompers. I expect it will look something like the picture above, as we’ve been hard at work practicing our own special brand of creepy special for the night.
Our show will be followed by the clubs own comedy shindig, so be sure to stick around for all the ensuing hilarity to follow!

Lonesome Locomotive is driven by remarkable songs that cut across genres and pull on many different emotional strings to create a sound that is layered, direct, and poignant. The music has a feeling of being instantly classic, fresh and danceable all at once. LL steams into jams, but is not a jam band. Their improvisations benefit from the superb musicianship of lead guitarist Brian Byrnes and bass master Mike Meagher, and are hoisted up by the driving rhythms of drummer Erin Cassidy and guitarist Michael Rosen. Together they achieve a sound that is stripped down, yet rich and strong.
Born October 9th, 1981 near Santa Cruz, California and beginning a soul-full journey through the sounds of Motown early on, Robert Meade has lived on the East coast (NYC) and the North West for the past 8 years. He has been writing and recording songs for over 10 years and touring for 4 years, entertaining all types of crowds in all types of venues (concert halls to cafes, pubs to dance clubs, festivals to fine restaurants) with a broad range of material and a unique, ever-changing sound and a strong stage presence.
Robert has performed and worked with quite a few musicians over the years including: Al Jardine of the Beach Boys, Richie Cannata of Cove City Sound Studios in New York City, Everest of Vapor Records, Don Latarski of Crescent Records and James Book of the Flies and Top Secret Records.
