LEX BROWNING to visit Cafe Vaquera!

On May 12th, 2009, the Cafe Vaquera will host Portland's favorite Freak Mountain Rambler, multi-instrumentalist, and all-round nice guy LEX BROWNING.  Lex is showin' up live and in person at the KMUN studio to celebrate his BRAND NEW CD called "Good Rain."  It's hot off the press from Frederick Productions, and I listened to it while I cruised around Eastern Washington in my "new" camper-van, all weekend.    It's a wonderful piece of work and I guarantee you will enjoy getting to know Lex Browning on Cafe Vaquera.  He's a mega-talent and the real deal.  

(Freak Mountain Ramblers, Austin Lounge Lizards, Quarterflash, Jeffrey Frederick and the Clamtones, and so much more...)

TUNE IN: 9-11PM on Tuesday night to www.coastradio.org!    

See you there.  CJ
