I decided to fast today. I hadn’t eaten at all and the hunger had come and gone, and there was a show I wanted to see at the Doug Fir. I don’t know why I wanted to see it, but for some reason I opted out of eating, in favor of seeing this show.
Upon entering, I found out why I wasn’t supposed to miss this for a plate of pasta. There was an Amoeba Music show, and it was featuring some stellar singer/songwriters.
Quincy Colemanhad finished up her set as I arrived. Country-tinged rhythms and she utilizes the nearly patented Dwight Yoakam toe twist move.
Brandi Shearer and her band took the stage next. Chris Bruce was on Guitar and he has mastered tone like few else, I told him so in the stair well. Nice guy, humble in spite of his glowing talent. The drums were tight, but, I was having such a good time I failed to do my job and get his full name. Ramey? something, sorry man.
Kate Walsh, from Brighton, UK closed the night. Smooth and nearly flawless performance, and impeccable songwriting. Nice little ‘lovey-dovey’s and Heart-Breakers.
In addition to the music performances to be part of the Public Transit Tour, Supernormal Records has added another aspect to an already packed itinerary. Through our varied associations, we have booked a Wine Tour of the Willamette Valley Wine region west of Portland, Oregon.
Follow Supernormal Tyler as he teaches you about Oregon Wines and ride shotgun as we travel some of the most breath-taking scenery in the US, and strum the strings among the vines.
Wineries to be visited
Argyle Winery691 Highway 99W Dundee, Oregon 97115 (Map It) Argyle Winery produces still and sparkling wines in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Their wines have received numberous 90+ point ratings from publications all over the world, and our customers prize these reasonably priced, delicious wines.
Sokol Blosser Winery 5000 Sokol Blosser Lane Dundee, Oregon 97115 (Map It) Sokol Blosser has survived, grown and prospered as a family-owned and run operation, and the family is proud to have been part of developing and shaping Oregon’s now prominent wine industry. Sokol Blosser Winery strives to create wines of world class quality that are produced sustainably, mindful of the environment and your health, and that express the distinctive flavors of their hillside vineyards. Sokol Blosser wines reflect who Sokol Blosser is – Their values and their sense of place.
Archery Summit Winery18599 NE Archery Summit Rd Dayton, O.R.97114 (Map It) Centuries of winemaking have proven that the best way to move grapes from bin to barrel is with the natural force of gravity. This is particularly true for the delicate, easily damaged Pinot Noir grape. From the start, the building at Archery Summit would be, despite the cost, a gravity flow winery. They also wanted their “home” to be simple. Designed from the ground up, actually, from below the ground, the winery integrates classic architecture and technically advanced viticulture.
King Estate Winery80854 Territorial Hwy, Eugene, OR (Map It) In 2002, King Estate winery, vineyards, nursery, and all surrounding gardens and landscape received organic certification by the Oregon Tilth Certified Organic association. Today we are home to the world’s largest contiguous organic vineyard with over 465 acres planted. They are known for Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris/Grigio, which we farm organically and dry (dry-farming means no irrigation is used).
We will keep you updated with the developments of this program and the release date of the “Supernormal Wine Tour: Willamette Valley” to be released in the month of June.
MORE INFORMATION
Listen to some Supernormal Tyler music. (link will open in a new window)
A webmaster over at Zenith TPM uploaded 4 of the 5 “Supernormal Tyler Live @ Rula Bula” video’s to the Rula Bula video page. The player and arrangement look great and Supernormal Records could not be happier. You can see the video that was left out above.
Supernormal Records did not send these videos to Zenith TPM or Rula Bula, they simply used their internet prowess to seek out our productions and post them in their project. It appears as though the Supernormal tentacles are spreading out through the “internets”. Don’t worry this octopus just wants a hug. Thanks for the love Rula Bula and Zenith TPM.
“On February 12th, 2008, I played three songs (Father’s Son, Carousel,Arizona Born and Glory Bound) at the Open Mic Night hosted by Walt Richardson. I had Pope run the camera for me and spent a week editing together the videos and posting them to YouTube and, it looks like someone over at zenithtpm is on top of things. They found them and posted them yesterday. Just in time for the Public Transit Tour“
