If you're interested in attending Portland area "Roots" music shows -- Country, Honky-Tonk, Western Swing, Blues, Rockabilly, Surf, etc. -- we suggest you check out Frederic Schroers' site. It's a great resource, an up-to-date listing of shows in the area, many of which really are considered "must see." He's also a rotation DJ on KBOO FM (4th Saturday of the month).

Thanks Frederic. You've been a friend and a big help to a lot of us over the years. We owe you.
