Promo spot recorded...

I'm very excited about the Cafe Vaquera promo spot that Elizabeth and I recorded yesterday in the secret KMUN production studio upstairs at the Tillicum House. We mixed up some music from Lisa and Her Kin's "Jane's Place," with some copy read by "ONE TAKE JANE." The spot will be played during other shows like Crossroads and/or the daily folk offerings, to promote listenership to Cafe Vaquera and cross-pollinate listener interest. See you on the radio! CJ...

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!  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.  (Austin Lounge Lizards, Quarterflash, Trail Band, Clamtones...)

Kathryn Frederick of www.jeffreyfrederick.com produced the CD. She is bringing along BILLY HULTS's CD.  This will be a rare treat for the "Upper Left Edge" listeners, as Billy Foodstamp is a local favorite.   This CD is a compilation of Billy's various musical adventures!   I can't wait to share it with you guys!  

Please Email me at CafeVaquera@hotmail.com if you are listening to the show.
