I’m returning to downtown Portland’s coziest listening hole — Al’s Den — for a seven-night musical marathon. New originals, deep-cut covers, plenty of old standbys, and fantastic featured guests each night.
Here’s what’s on tap (besides McMenamins beer):
Sunday, April 2 — Chris Robley & the Fear of Heights perform “The Great Make Believer” in its entirety; with special guest The Half Hearted.
Monday, April 3 — Nilsson Night (Chris performs solo some of his favorite Harry songs); with special guest Rebecca Sanborn of Swansea.
Tuesday, April 4 — Triple Album (Chris plays a trillion new songs he’s written since the release of “The Great Make Believer” to find out which ones are worthy of going on the next album or three); with special guestsThe Faints.
Wednesday, April 5 — Chris plays “Irretrievable Beauty: Songs from the Collapsing Star;” with special guests Little Professor.
Thursday, April 6 — One-Man Bar Band (Chris does unlikely covers), plus a set with the Fear of Heights; with special guests Vacilando.
Friday, April 7 — Chris Robley & the Fear of Heights, plus a set of Chris performing songs of WAR & protest; with special guests Moody Little Sister.
Saturday, April 8 — Chris Robley & the Fear of Heights, plus a set of Chris performing songs of PEACE & protest: with special guests The Resolectrics.
