New releases: Hot off playing the mainstage at Oregon Country Fair,
local blues-rock band Blue Lotus is gearing up for a six-state tour to
promote its new album, Across the Canyon, recorded at Ninkasi Studios.
The band’s fifth album is “a collaborative experiment that weaves
elements of progressive rock, jazz and improvisational rock ‘n’ roll with
hints of ’60s psychadelia,” the band says via press release. Catch
them before they hit the road for a Grateful Dead set Saturday,
Aug. 15, at Blairally Vintage Arcade, 245 Blair Blvd.
Meanwhile that same night across town, experimental
jazz
outfit Human Ottoman is hosting an album release

David Liebe Hart, of Adult Swim and Tim and Eric Awesome Show,
Great Job! fame, is oft described as an “outsider” musician, but in
Eugene, he’ll fit right in. His curriculum vitae reads like a lineup for the
Oregon Country Fair: street performer, sign painter, artist, puppeteer. And he
claims as a child that Korendian aliens abducted him. Head to WOW Hall to hear
hits such as “Father & Son” and “Puberty” 8 pm Thursday, Aug. 13.
