Posted by Alison Hallett on Thu, Apr 1, 2010 at 10:03 AM
LITTLE BLACK ON THE PRAIRIE—Black Prairie has performed only a handful of shows, none of which have been within Portland city limits. That changes tonight as the band—which features three-fifths of the Decemberists—makes its Portland debut. Their album Feast of the Hunters' Moon is a lovely collection of instrumental bluegrass, sprawling country, and tempered klezmer, all performed masterfully. EAC
w/Alialujah Choir; The Woods, 6637 SE Milwaukie, 9 pm, $12GET HANDSY—Chefs and artists team up for Hands on for Haiti to benefit Mercy Corps' continuing earthquake relief. Bid on exciting culinary experiences and art, while nibbling sammies from the likes of Meat Cheese Bread and the Heathman. Mmm... delicious charity. PAC
1035 NW Lovejoy, 6 pm, $15
