about

2020 was full of challenges, to put things mildly. Moments of light were few and far between and the things we took for granted like seeing a favorite band play, vanished overnight. The live music industry was decimated. Not only did artists suffer from the inability to play live, but the untold thousands (more?) of behind the scenes workers – truckers, sound and light engineers, bookers, promoters, caterers, roadies, tour and road managers and the list goes on and on were left with zero income and NO help from govt assistance.

In the PNW, two individuals met these challenges with grit and creativity, putting together web-based venues for local bands to stay connected with audiences and maybe make some money. I am talking about PDX Couch Tour, created by Brian Strauss, and Northwest Talent Spotlight, reignited by Bobby Palotta and Andy Madson. Mike, Dave and I played two shows for each in late 2020 and early 2021. These four gigs were inspiring and full of fire because of the shit storm of world events surrounding each, and damn it we were just happy to play live music for anyone. The fact that we could broadcast live, globally, meant that we could play for friends who had never seen us b/c they didn’t live in Portland. AND we got great video and audio out of it.

Which brings us to June 2021. As things start to open back up, and some (not all) music jobs return, we listened to the recordings and assembled some of the best takes into a live album – our first! Special thanks to Bobby who ran sound for NWTS and to Lizzy Tanzer who did sound at PDX Couch. These tapes are raw and unedited. I flub a vocal line and drop a bum note here and there but hey that’s live music for you. Overall we are really proud of these performances and wanted to share.

We are only making this available via Bandcamp, as a free download – but if any kind souls DO pony up money, it’s going to be sent to www.gimmeshelterpdx.org, a local non profit that is helping local music workers make ends meet.

about

Paul Lesinski

Paul’s music is a fusion of genres, blending the raw power of classic rock with hints of progressive rock that captivates listeners and takes them on a sonic journey.

Lyrically, Paul reflects the era and concerns of his audience, whether reveling in the opportunity to be the best version of yourself, to lamenting the fractured state of political and social connection. ... more
