Events It's Happening Tonight!
Posted by Alison Hallett on Thu, Jul 26, 2012 at 11:59 AM
NEW SKIN—Artistic hub/boutique Nationale teams up with the Sound + Vision Festival to bring you an evening in tribute to Leonard Cohen, "New Skin for the Old Ceremony," in two parts. First a program of 11 short films inspired by the Master of Erotic Despair, followed by live cover sets from Neal Morgan, Robin Pecknold, and more. MS
Hollywood Theatre, 4122 NE Sandy, 8 pm, $8 ($15 for three-day fest pass)
HEE HAW—We'd tell you go see the spectacular Emmylou Harris anyway—her clearwater voice only gets better with age—but when you throw Steve Martin on the bill? Turns out the genius comedian is also a stunningly good banjo player, so expect to be awed by his pickin' skills when he's not cracking wise. NL
Edgefield, 2126 SW Halsey, Troutdale, 6:30 pm, $47-89, all ages
