I recently had the privilege of attending two concerts - one in a cafe, the other in a living room. Folk music was performed on both nights. I went to the living room gig because Beatbeat Whisper had performed so magically at the Salem Coffe House Cafe the previous night. A modestly sized living room in deep SE Portland, dimmed lights, and two acoustic guitars made the night memorable. After experiencing such a great grass-roots event, I wanted to capture some of what I was feeling on a mixtape. Three of the bands are represented here: Beatbeat Whisper, Firs of Prey, and Whiskey Priest.

Well that's what inspired the creation of this one, thank you to all who made it happen on St. Paddy's Day. Cheers.
