Portland music veteran and MastanMusic label head, Jeremy Wilson, invites local music fans to this rare opportunity to see some of Portland's most talented up and coming artists in a single line-up. Showcasing a roster that's anything but predictable, this bill serves up some eclectic and powerful music.

Headliner, Tony Smiley gives a phenomenal one man show, mixing up dance beats, guitar histrionics, and eclectic song-writing instincts comparable to David Bowie or Beck. When Tony Smiley is onstage, it's hard to sit still because there's a dance party going on.

"It's all about the songs," says Sam Densmore of Silverhawk. Combining elements of 60's psychedelic and classic americana, Portland's Silverhawk, (led by the Densmore Bros.) rocks out with the musical familiarity only present in a family band. Rounding out the line up is veteran drummer Rob Allison (Two Ton Boa, Bipolar Star), and keyboardist Anthony James Cotham

Opening the showcase is Portland area rockabilly/country group with a punk edge, The Dry County Crooks. An authentic working band counting Johnny Cash and Social Distortion as influences, they regularly make the rounds playing rural club circuits in Oregon and Washington. The Dry County Crooks have just finished mixing their next album to be released this spring.

All three bands will be playing songs from their upcoming CD releases on the MastanMusic label. Advance copies of "Driving Myself Sane" by Tony Smiley and "Hangover Bicycle Ride" by Silverhawk will be available at the show.
