Sunday, July 29 National Treasure
Among other things on a very busy
show tonight, we feature a visit with The National's Matt Berninger. The band's Boxer has been one of the more impressive releases of the year thus far, and his stoic delivery and cerebral lyrics are big reasons why. We'll talk to him about the buzz surrounding the latest release, his writing process, and the influence of the band's adopted hometown of New York City on their music.
Also, plenty of live performances to preview in the area this week, including Rufus Wainwright at the Crystal Ballroom and St. Vincent at the Doug Fir. The week closes out, of course, with the first day of two anticipated festivals: PDX Pop Now! and Pickathon. We'll get to music from some of the acts playing each. Plus, new music from Bishop Allen, Jesca Hoop, The Clientele, and more.

Hi Jeremy,
Great show tonight! Caught almost *the whole thing* tonight driving back home down I-5. Since I had to be in my car, I'm glad there was some good local music to hear. Keep up the good work!
Best,

I really liked the Madeline Peyroux lead out, a nice way to end on a Sunday.

Thanks for the comments, guys.
And here's hoping that Peyroux calm lasts well into Monday morning.
