Behold, a brand-new video from our ongoing presentation of the Pickathon Starlight Series, spotlighting performances at the Portland-area music festival’s nocturnal stage where bands play into the wee hours.
This season’s latest episode features Hawaii-based singer/songwriter Ron Artis II performing “Getting Older,” a track from his 2015 album What Music Means to Me. His guitar playing is unreal—throughout the song, Artis strums the instrument at incomprehensible speeds while singing in a soulful croon. It looks exhausting, but sounds incredible.
