No pics, but Jungle was a lot of fun! There’s gotta be at least one other forumer here, right?

Went to North Sea Jazz Festival yesterday. Don't even know where to start, saw so many amazing acts. I'll just list them haha:
Jose James (Bill Withers tribute): He had an orchestra with him, which I didn't really like. The songs he did with his own band worked better imo.
Makaya McCraven with special guest Joel Ross: So much energy and incredible musicianship, really special show.
Theon Cross: I always forget how huge Tuba's are! Really groovy set.
Anita Baker: This woman's voice is just incredible. Never really listened to her much, but that's gonna chance. Maybe the highlight of the day. And her bassist was just this cool, old guy, whose laid back stance just cracked me up (why do all bass players always look like they are chilling at home with their bathrobes on).
Chuco Valdes: Fun latin/percussion set
Gilberto Gil: Brazialian legend. Amazing stuff. I also saw Milton Nasciamento live a few weeks ago, but Gilberto and his voice were in much better shape
Orquesta Akokan: This was maybe the most fun concert, although they programmed it in an area where everybody had to sit. Despite that a lot of people got up and danced.
Tower of Power: Don't knwo what else I have can say, but that this was a funky good time.

No pics, but Andrew Bird and Tift Merritt was a great show. I did not realize that Madison Cunningham was in his band currently or on the new album (I also learned that Moses Sumney sung backing vocals on Are You Serious?).
Day 2 Forecastle.
Anderson .Paak really was awesome!
Maggie Rogers
Chelsea Cutler
H.A.R.D. Have A Rad Day were very fun.
So far Forecastle has been great. One more day today with Chvrches as the one I'm looking forward to the most.

Caught Speedy Ortiz last night before the Portland Pickles baseball game, during Picklefest. Perfect evening for baseball, beer and music. All four of the team threw out a first pitch, and it was one of the roughest things I've seen

Some artist I saw over the weekend reposted one of my photos from their show (with credit, thankfully). That was a pretty neat notification to see.
YOU ARE BASICALLY BFFs WITH CRJ NOW!!!!
Last day of Forecastle in Louisville was very hot. A bit too tired to take a lot of pictures, but here are a couple good ones.
Chvrches was my headliner for the day, and they were awesome. (Was not too interested in Avett Brothers, sorry)
Sunflower Bean was my other favorite for the day.
The guitarist found a clever use for an old phone handle. It gave some cool sound distortion effects.
Also met up with @ayayrawn . Good to meet a fellow Needler and Groover. Cheers!

I saw Daniel Norgren last night. Me and my mate got the early and went to the bar next door to wait for another mate. Turns out Daniel was there having something to eat before the show. Had a good chat with him, such a great guy!
I took a copy of the VMP Wooh Dang along with me and also picked up the VMP pressing of Skogens Frukter (which I was amazed they had) plus a tshirt. After the gig I got talking to Daniels manager and he went backstage and asked Daniel to sign the records, he even wrote a personalised message which was cool of him.
Fantastic night, I will share some photos later!

Here's a list of shows I'm interested in, happening between now and early November in my area. Most of these are at smaller venues, which is nice. I can't see them all but really want to catch at least a couple/few of these shows.
I think Andrew Bird and HGM are my top two choices.
Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats
Andrew Bird
Steely Dan
Pinback
Band of Skulls
Fruit Bats
Bob Mould
White Denim
Mike Watt
Hiss Golden Messenger
