QTN Croons Harvest Moon Toons in Portland!

 

Time again for the dwindle of summery times!

There's a heron in front of the moon and that means it's time to get ready to catch the Eastbound Rocket Train to the plains of the midwest and the strains of guitar strings and the rain of the coloured leave things. Good thing I have a Portland ace up my sleeve so we can celebrate the turn of the season with aplomb and musicality. Midwest tour dates coming soon...

This weekend we'll toast and sing and be accompanied by spacial guest Tiny Montgomery, resident bassologist on the basso profundo.

Here's details a waggin (or is it falling off em...)
