First Thursday Acoustic Americana series is our chance to spotlight music outside of our regular jazz programming. This month we present dadweed--an acoustic trio based in Portland, OR, reinventing traditional bluegrass by blending elements of jazz, folk, pop, and R&B into a unique fusion of pickin' and thumpin'.

Whiskey Deaf performs bluegrass, old-time and early country, mostly drawn from early pioneers in the music, and brings to the stage many years of professional experience and skill. Their shows are always spontaneous, entertaining, and joyous, and feature exciting instrumental work and a unique repertoire of interesting songs and tunes.
