Events It's Happening Tonight!
Posted by Courtney Ferguson on Mon, Sep 26, 2011 at 1:29 PM
JOLIE MOLY!—While she might not take residence in our fair city, singer/songwriter extraordinaire Jolie Holland is an honorary Portlander. Her backing band is often made up of local ringers, she lent her voice to the latest Nick Jaina release, and her sun-soaked rootsy sound is the perfect soundtrack to a late summer Portland bicycle ride. Pint of Blood, full-length number four for Jolie, came out in June and it just might be her best work to date. EAC
Star Theater, 13 NW 6th, 9 pm, $15-17
SOUNDTRACKS—The Jackpot Records Film & Music Festival kicks off tonight with The Agony and Ecstasy of Phil Spector, a documentary about the legendary Wall of Sound producer's storied career and life. Check back in throughout the week for films about Raymond Scott, Creation Records, and the Replacements. MJ
Bagdad Theater, 3702 SE Hawthorne, Mon Sept 26-Fri Sept 30, 8 pm, FREE, all ages
