The Keg Tavern: How’d it Go?

Travelling without a laptop forces one to be creative as to where and when uploads and posts can occur.  I have pictures and video to upload.  However, finding the time and the proper ports to use can be challenging.  So be patient and pictures and video will come soon.  For now, here is a preview of the venue I play tomorrow night.  If you’re in Portland, come on by… You know me, It’s free!

The Globe is located aty:

2045 SE Belmont St.

The Globe BarCafe:

To sum up Portland, Oregon in an unassuming and plainly profound way one can do it in one word: “Community.”  Long since heeding the unspoken mantra, “Community not Competition” Portland Oregon’s foodie, drinkie, and music scene have all been nurtured and flourished by a populace that understands it’s food, loves it’s music, and welcomes new ideas.

The torch is passed gracefully in this town from the die-hard old-school restaurants and pubs to the new youthfully exuberant restaurant concepts staffed with young talent behind the stick, or in the kitchen.  There is enough room for everyone in this town, and Portlanders decide if you get to stay and play.  They raise their expectations and proprieters deliver.  If not, it’s back to the other side of the bar, Chef-fy.

On SE Belmont, my friend and chef Marc Brazeau and his team are in their first year of staking their claim in the infinite frontier of The Portland Oregon Scene.  The deed has been written and The Globe BarCafe is fervently supported by this little neighborhood in SouthEast they call home.
Following the cycle of the day The Globe BarCafe evolves.  At Sunrise, a place to get a hot cup of coffee and read, By the Mid-day Sun – a quick-serve lunch counter, At Dusk a dinner-spot, In the witching hours – a Bar.  Not to get all linen-shirted and Guru about it, but I forsee many sunrises on The Globe BarCafe.

How’d it go?

Moments after the Arizona Cardinals laid the slap-down on the Philedelphia Eagles, Tyler was laying down some tunes on a new little local Arizona radio show called AZ Music Cafe. 

Don’t tell me Arizona isn’t doing it right.  Today the Rock and Roll Marathon circled the valley, The Cardinals clinched a Super Bowl slot out in Glendale, and some of Arizona’s finest singer/songwriters crowded into the AZ Music Cafe’s studio to broadcast some songs and banter.  There certainly isn’t any lack of good quality entertainment around these parts. - Tyler Christensen

About the Show 

Erich Sielaff sponsors and hosts “AZ Music Café” every Sunday at 3pm on KKNT 960 AM.  AZ Music Cafe is about Erich’s love of music.  This program gives him the opportunity to showcase the songwriting and performing skills of local musicians.   He hopes to give them a place to expose their talent and promote themselves without cost.

Tyler played ”The Things I’m Gonna Miss” and “One World” on-air and spoke briefly about SuperNormal Records, and his progress of building a record label from the roots on up. 

I have to thank Erich and his crew, and all of the other musicians in the lineup today.  What a great show.  It is few and far-between you get a local oriented show like AZ Music Cafe.  Arizona has a “satellite scene” there are great artists and shows to see, but, they are spread out all over the Valley of the Sun and it can be tough to seek out quality performers and songwriters.  AZ Music Cafe is a great way to get a broadbrush look at a number of artists and then puruse the weekly’s to see when their playing around town.  They also have a nifty calendar gizmo on their site that previous guest post their shows on.  Best of luck to the show and Erich, it’s host, for continued success.  Thanks for the good times. – Tyler Christensen
