Wizards vs. dinosaurs

Rarely do Washington rockers sound this Midwestern. The Bismarck is a Seattle quartet of North Dakotan expats with a penchant for hard-hitting, hickory-smoked rock 'n' roll.

Free to roam

Let's imagine a band comprised of steaming momentum that has been abruptly decompressed and cooled in a folk-rock mold. Its members cut their teeth in art punk and prog-rock outfits, all wound up energy and attitude, when suddenly, in 2007, they came together in a kinder, gentler recording project. This

Top five haunting experiences

Ahh, October.  It's the month of Pumpkin Spice lattes, sexy Donald Trump costumes and extended darkness.  And in that darkness, past the somewhat safe, flickering lights of leering Jack o' lanterns, lurks the unknown.  Ghosts, ghouls, the dead, the undead: These are just a sampling of the entities that will

Gary Edward Keillor, the Minnesota raconteur better known to millions of Lutherans as "Garrison," will be appearing at the Pantages Theater for a night of rambling tales of Northern life, plus folk harmonies with Robin and Linda Williams.

Following his sold-out show there New Year's Eve, Chris Anderson returns to the Pacific Grill for A Sweet Evening. He's a crooner in the classic Sinatra mold - my, we are classy this Valentine's week, aren't we? You're welcome, ladies - and of course the Grill is throwing in a
