Discover summer tunes
When the days seem to stretch
into forever and the sun shines
bright and hot, there’s often good
music being played somewhere.
Summer in Eugene is no different,
although sometimes the best con
certs are a couple of hours away.
The season began, meteorological
ly speaking, on Friday, and interest
ing performances can be found
throughout the next few weeks.
Wannabe hippies, original Dead
heads and fans of bluegrass are tru
ly in their element during the sum
mer. Endless outdoor concerts and
festivals offer the highest level of
intoxicating sights and sounds. Be
ginning Friday, The Northwest
String Summit brings some of the
best bluegrass musicians together
for a three-day festival at Homing’s
Hideout, a hidden-canyon vacation
spot 35 minutes west of Portland.
The festival features the Yonder
Mountain String Band, the
David Grisman Quintet, and
Northwest favorites Hanuman, full
information is available at
http://www. segueproductions.com
/ stringsummit/index.html.
Etouffee (which means “smoth
ered,” as in “crawfish smothered in
cream sauce”) brings the sounds of
the swamp home to the Wild Duck
Music Hall on Sunday. Kelly Thi
bodeaux, fiddler extraordinaire
from Baton Rouge, Louisiana,
heads up this Southern rock and
R&B band. They call it “Cajun
Swamp Rock,” and it drives audi
ences wild. Fans age 21 and older
will pay $8 and be at 169 W. Sixth
Ave. when the doors open at 9 p.m.
The ’80s are still hot — no, really
— and the B-52’s aim to prove it
with a concert July 7 at Britt Festi
vals. Britt is a stunning natural am
phitheater in Southern Oregon, five
miles west of Medford. The B-52’s
need no introduction; they’re the
original party band, with catchy,
bouncy melodies and lyrics full of
pop kitsch. Tickets are only(!) $33
for the lawn. Full information is at
www.brittfest.org.
It’s not a habit, it’s cool, I feel
alive — I’m not an addict, but I do
like one-hit wonders on the re
bound, and K’s Choice will be try
ing to resurrect the addiction to
their music with a stop at Dante’s in
Portland at 9 p.m., July 10. Proving
the band is on the downside, tick
ets are only $8, available from
Fastixx. For more information call
(503) 226-6630.
Thrasher Presents and Dan Stein
berg Presents show some sales

try Fair. The show is at Secret

and the show is sure to draw a huge
crowd. Tickets are $25 from

er their hair, buy tickets for $28.50
at Fastixx and get more information

day early for Dead fans with a con
cert and film July 11 at the McDon

Thursday show, and the Tri
Chromes featuring Bill Kreutzmann
will psychedelically rock the
house. Doors open at 7 p.m. and
tickets are $15 from Fastixx.

Enjoy the outdoors
With the onslaught of summer
beating down on rain-weary heads,
many students staying in Eugene
for the next 21 weeks may be dread
ing the upcoming dog days.
An often heard, often said phrase
is, “There’s nothing to do. in Eu
gene.” There may be nothing for
lazy people to do in Eugene, but
here’s a challenge: Get up off of the
couch and look around. With so
many outdoor activities, there is no
excuse for boredom in Eugene, es
pecially during the summer.
Mountain Bike Magazine has
ranked the Eugene area in the top
10 for its diverse and challenging
trails, but if a nice stroll is all that’s
desired, many of the trails are
catered to all levels of difficulty.
According to standard bike-i
quette, there are some beautiful
trails that are generally not used
during the winter months in order
to preserve their rideability during
the spring and summer. Since there
haven’t been any floods so far, now
is the prime time to get out and ride
or hike the naturally majestic trails.
One very popular but not too dif
ficult path in the Eugene-Spring
field area is the McKenzie River
Trail. It is a beautiful trail that
winds through trees and snuggles
up next to a river. This is not a path
to race through: A rider or hiker
should really try to enjoy the
scenery and serenity of this path.
On bike, it is a little more difficult
than walking but it is worth it. The
