photo by Johnny Podhradsky Our favorite band of Northwestern cowboys have been very busy since we first found out about them back in 2008. In the years since then they've released a third album, criss-crossed the country playing shows from coast to coast, embarked upon a European tour, contributed an article to our Summer Camp special back in 2009, and most recently began prepping their 4th LP. So what is there for Brent Amaker & the Rodeo to do? If you guessed "release one of the most unlikely covers possible," well then [...]

Brent Amaker ::: photo by Abbey Simmons Hands down, the best bumbershoot at Bumbershoot. And knowing Brent Amaker, he probably looks just as suave on this rainy Seattle Saturday as he did then. Though, perhaps, sans the nurse assistant and umbrella holder. Perhaps.
Brent Amaker ::: photo by Abbey Simmons The best actual bumbershoot at all of Bumbershoot easily belonged to Brent Amaker. This is how you take the stage in style on a damp Seattle morning. Brent Amaker ::: photo by Abbey Simmons

So an interesting thing happened tonight that I want to share. The wife and I were heading home after a little after-work shopping and stopped by a local fast food place in town. I won't mention the particular establishment because I don't want to get them in some sort of trouble with their corporate representation should this story turn out to be bad news for them, but it's one of the places listed in this story on Yahoo news toda y. Now, I really do detest fast food, [...]

We drove down to Seattle on Sunday. When I say "we drove," what I mean is Nicole drove. I don't drive. I guess you could say it's by choice. Not my choice, but, rather a series of poor choices in my past. The Pacific Northwest US in the fall is a lot like the lower mainland in the fall. Only with more Giant Sand . Same amount of Chad Vangaalen , though. But they were both in the same spot on Sunday night, the Triple Door . It's a reformed supper club on [...]
Wipe away those tears all, it's the weekend and time for some rollicking good times. And I can't think of a better soundtrack than Brent Amaker and the Rodeo who are plying their pitch-black honky tonk wares in various pitch-black honky tonks as we speak. There's an album out next month - with the fantastic title of Howdy Do! - we'll certainly be keeping an eye out for it. Listen: Brent Amaker and the Rodeo - When Love Gets to a Man Listen: [...]
