Michelle Shocked at the Doug Fir
After having been shunned at the Doug Fir once before (we went to see the John Butler Trio and Tristan Prettyman and they sold out moments before we arrived at the ticket window) we decided to give it a try for Michelle Shocked.
It turns out that it is a great venue if you can get tix. The room is small (my guess . . . about 300 people capacity) and has grreat sound. We stood in the second row right in front of Michelle while she nailed the best MS show I have seen (I have seen her half a dozen times in the last 15 years).
Her show started with Michelle Shock-eoke, which involved people from the audience performing MS songs which was surprisingly fun and funny, then Michelle did her thing which involved awesome new songs from her Threesome releases (she just released 3 new albums), some old songs, and fun stuff like she made the audience do the electric slide, sing along a lot, and generally have an awesome time enjoying a wonderful performer doing her thing.
5 Stars for Michelle and her band, and 5 stars for the Doug Fir.

If I could get away from Samuel, I definitely would love to check out this venue. My friends, the Clumsylovers played there Saturday night. They said it was their best Portland show ever, and there are lots to choose from. My friend Sharla goes there all the time for concerts, and definitely likes this venue. I'll check out her website (Michelle Shocked). Karli
