Check out these three great Drop-In Sessions with oustanding local Portland area musicians…all featured on recent editions of  The Mixtape (Thursdays at 7pm).

Audra Nemir is a talented singer, song writer and musician who just dropped her first solo record titled Pieces. She has been playing in a variety of local bands over the years and this first solo outing is outstanding! She is a natural storyteller who gracefully pairs her lyrics with interesting and engaging music. Her new record is a great one for the collection!

 

Moon and Bike is an instrumental band that has put together a beautiful and thought provoking self titled new record. Mike and Boone are talented musicians and friends who have come together to create a sound that is textured and layered that on each listen, something new comes through. It is hard to put their music into a specific genre and that is, in part, what makes it so good.

 

Jimmy Granstrom is a creative spirit who is behind some remarkable new music that spans continents. The lyrics are intriguing and the music thoughtful and graceful. It is the kind of music takes you on a journey. The music paints pictures in your mind as you listen and keeps you coming back!
