Happy New Year! Well look at that, it’s 2014 and we all know what that means… Pickathon news is right around the corner!! It’s been a wonderful break and we hope everyone is well rested and looking forward to the year ahead. This summer we will celebrate our 16th Pickathon and as always, it’s certain to be one of the best!

Coming up this week we are helping host another night of music as part of our Winter Series of shows that Pickathon is co-presenting alongside our friends at Mississippi Studios.

Thursday January 9 – Califone at Mississippi Studios in Portland, Oregon
*The Luyas open this show, with the night starting at 8:00. Tickets are $13 in advance on the web, and $15 at the door.

Thanks to everyone who took part in the Califone contest via the Pickathon Newsletter – the winner of those tickets will be notified this evening. There were a lot of you to pick from! For everyone else… if you’re not already signed up on our e-list, do it today! We’ll continue on with contests and early notifications and really, it’s the easiest way to not miss out on upcoming bits and random giveaways.

Also, if you have not yet heard their latest release… it’s definitely worth picking up prior to this show. Stitches is a powerhouse and my own personal favorite release of theirs…well, that and also their amazing 2009 release All My Friends Are Funeral Singers. (Watch that film too!)

This will be a full house and mostly standing room only with limited seating in the balcony. We suggest getting tickets in advance and arriving early.

We hope to see you there!
