Mike Pinto. Pinto is a Philly-born singer-songwriter who cut his teeth playing at punk rock shows and the occasional coffee shop. Since the Philly rock scene wasn’t his jam, Pinto moved to San Diego, where he connected with the Sublime-loving community. Life in Philadelphia taught him how to be a storyteller, he says, and California helped solidify his “reggae-ska” sound. Pinto isn’t into pumping out ooey-gooey love songs. He sings about darker matters but with an upbeat melody, like selling your soul and living at the whim of alcohol-induced OLD NICK’S Medical Benefit for PsychoRicky w/Rooster & His Barnyard Bucketeers, Sad Bastard Songs, Johann Devine & more—9pm; Rockabilly, $5 OREGON WINE LAB David Acker—7pm; Blues, n/c PORKY’S PALACE Karaoke— 8pm SAGINAW VINEYARDS The Annie Mae Rhodes Band—6pm; Bluegrass, n/c SAM BOND’S GARAGE Prelude to a Pistol, Retroactive Gamma Rays—9:30pm; Alt rock, $5 TAYLOR’S DJ Victor—10pm; Hip hop, dance, n/c TERRITORIAL VINEYARDS Llorona—7pm; n/c TRACKSTIRS Karaoke w/ James—9pm; n/c VANILLA JILL’S Digital Bridge, Son of Sekonza—7pm; Electronic, weird carnival, $2 WANDERING GOAT Hardcharger, Mammoth Salmon, Hound the Wolves, Krunt—9pm; Metal, crust, $5 WHIRLED PIES Dan Cioper— 6pm; n/c WHITE HORSE SALOON Karaoke w/Mike—9pm; n/c WOODFIELD STATION Gumbo Groove—6pm; Fungrass, n/c WOW HALL Figure & Protohype—9pm; Electronica, $17-$20 SATURDAY 8/27 5TH ST.

Folk and Johnny Cash influences are in store for his next album, which he plans to release in the summer of 2017. “I don’t like to stick to one genre,” Pinto says. “It gets a little boring.” Catch an acoustic performance by Mike Pinto 9 pm Sunday, Aug. 28, at Sam Bond’s; $5. — Kelsey Anne Rankin eugeneweekly.com • A ugust0 25, 2016 25
