Among the more fascinating writers to be refining their stuff and recording in Portland studios.

Hope the hip simmers down & keeps improving enough to let me get out to see them at an early Sunday night set in the wonderful old converted church that is PORTLAND PLAYHOUSE, scene of the last few years phenomenal August Wilson cycle of plays of the 20th C. Pittsburgh 'hood, The Hill.

It's Vikesh Kapoor's turn on the boards at Portland Playhouse to premiere the material he's
recorded at Adam Selzer's Type Foundry.

By the way, there's no reason to expect song journalism this good in any weekly anymore, so this Mercury piece of a length not usually accorded to the folkies among us is especially appreciated. KBOO's Lark In The Morning take heed...

As is the Portland Playhouse theatrical production also insightfully reviewed in today's edition, and if ya took in any of the August Wilson cycle of last few years, No Po's deepest stage presence, Victor Mack co-stars in the current production that appears to work a similar "transitional" 'hood in post-Depression Detroit: http://www.portlandmercury.com/portland/am…
