Since their formation in 2007, Blue Cranes have become a key player in the Portland, Oregon creative music/DIY scene and one of the most exciting groups to keep tabs on in the Northwest. They’ve developed a singular musical voice grounded in melody and explosive improvisations—-marking off their unique microcosmic territory in "post-jazz" circles.
The group is on tour in support of their fourth full length album, Swim. Produced by The Decemberists' Nate Query, it is the band's debut on Cuneiform Records. It will be released on CD and Limited Edition Colored Vinyl.
Cost: $10-20 sliding scale
