Listen now 
Saturday, June 30 And We're Off...
Hi. My name's Jeremy and I'm into music. I'm new on the air at OPB tonight, but I recently passed 
the one month mark on the job (not that I'd call it that, necessarily) and in the area. Forgive me if I go around mouth agape for a while-- I'm used to driving two or three hours to see live music and the inevitable two in the morning drive home was learned to be taken as a matter of course. So forgive the wide eyes and such, while we've been busy prepping for tonight's debut program I managed to catch The National at Berbati's Pan, not to mention all of the artists we've had stop by OPB in Portland for the first of our in-studio sessions. So, yeah, it's good to be here. Speaking of tonight and those in-studios, we begin our run with a session from Laura Veirs (produced and recorded masterfully by OPB's Steven Kray, oh by the way). Veirs, who recently
became a Portlander following a decade in Seattle, puts down four intimate, solo versions of songs from her latest, Saltbreakers, and it's a great way to begin things. She's just the first of many artists, both local and touring, we'll be featuring in our studios. This new possibility, then, begs the question: Who are you looking forward to seeing play Portland (or Eugene, or Corvallis, or Bend, etc.) this summer? Even better, are they a well-kept secret we should know about? Do tell.
