When: Friday, September 20th – 7pm
Why: John Barrett is a modest man: “It’s just me in a room with a bunch of shit, wrestling with myself trying to figure out if it sounds good.” Earworm hooks that draw blood and linger for days on end? I say he pretty much nailed it. Joining him on tour is Hanni El Khatib who most recently supported The Black Angels on their last trip through Portland.
