We decided we were in the mood to hit the bar at Luckey’s. To our dismay, there was a cover charge, but the woman at the door persuaded us (OK, persuaded Becky, who paid for both of us) it would be worth it. When we got inside, we were blown away by Tracy Bonham playing to a small but enthusiastic crowd. She whipped out her violin and cranked out songs like “Devil’s Got Your Boyfriend” from her album Mast of Manhatta. Bonham, who is a classically trained musician and originally from Eugene, has released more albums and been back in town since, but if you missed her, now’s your chance to see her with Blake Morgan at Sam Bond’s Garage. If you are a certain age, and watched a lot of MTV in the days when it actually played videos, you might remember Bonham’s “Mother Mother,” which was a number-one hit on Billboard magazines Nielsen alternative singles chart in 1996. As Billboard notes, it wasn’t until 2013 that another female singer held that top spot, when Lorde took it with “Royals.” In 2017, Bonham re-imagined “Mother Mother” and the rest of her Burdens of Being Upright album on Modern Burdens and made Rolling Stone’s list of top-50 albums of 2017, giving her ’90s-era angst a Trumpian era flair. Tracy Bonham plays with Blake Morgan 9:30 pm Saturday, April 7 at Sam Bond’s Garage, 407 Blair Boulevard. $10 adv. $12 door. — Camilla Mortensen SPRING CONCERT Renaissance madrigals and contemporary choral music of Love and Dreams You Never Know What You’ll Find At A Collectors West Gun Show!
