Saturday night’s return to the Hawthorne Hophouse was a jam-packed evening for a packed house. We managed to squeeze a little more talent into our tiny corner of the room when John Stocks helped us close out the first set on harmonica and percussion, then strapped on his axe for an adventurous second set. Mystic Canyon and the Hawthorne Hophouse have created a tasty recipe for a fun Saturday night in SE Portland. Finely crafted acoustic music, a wide variety of flavorful local brews and perhaps the most delicious macaroni and cheese this blogger has ever tasted.
Here’s what we played for a full house of appreciative hopheads. Follow the links to our YouTube page to check out some audience video shot on an HD flipcam.
