Portland Preview: Wheels of Fortune @ Ella St. Social Club

A friend, the daring and darling Greer of up-and-coming SF band The Mallard, informed me that a talented group of gentlemen entitled Wheels of Fortune will be sauntering up to the bar in Portland, Oregon tomorrow night, and I thought you our Portland-readers need know.
This is elaborate country music. Not just twang-guitar and tales of forlorn love, this is big complex, elaborate music scuffed with a bit of The National, daubed with a spatter of Silver Jews. It’s warm, like a flannel shirt your ex left at your house. Put it on, give it a smell, feels good doesn’t it.
In that sad way.

We really enjoy Wheel of Fortune, but 1776 is playing also, and they just ROCK! We highly recommend this show for our PDX friends.
