Not to be lost amongst all of the MFNW madness is this weekend's second annual Muddy Boot Organic Festival. Billed as a "soulful celebration of sustainable living," the three-day fest kicks off tonight with keynote speaker Jean-Michel Cousteau and continues through the weekend with a variety of activities, workshops, information booths, and more. Most relevant to our purposes here however is the diverse musical lineup of outstanding locals, who are each more than worth the small donation on their own, let alone sharing the same stage. Music gets underway tomorrow at noon with Little Sue and continues through to late evening with sets from Ashleigh Flynn, Casey Neill & the Norway Rats, Jackstraw, Freak Mountain Ramblers, and March Fourth Marching Band. Folks then get a chance to catch their breaths 
and presumably sleep off all of that organic beer before things fire back up on Sunday at noon with Dirty Martini, followed by Stolen Sweets, Cana Son, and Dr. Theopolis. In short, its a lot to be had for a little and you may even accidentally learn something in the process. You'll find the goings-on at the St. Philip Neri Parish, SE 16th & Division in Portland. See the website for a complete schedule of performances and other activities. MP3: Jackstraw- "Rubber Wheels" MP3: March Fourth Marching Band- "Crack Haus"

Nice writeup for the Muddy Boot fest! And as it turns out, the incredible March Fouth Marching Band performance was their last Portland gig for a while -- at the show they announced that they're embarking on a national tour... a most impressive one at that. Their Web site says they'll be playing with Pink Martini at gigs like the Hollywood Bowl, the Kennedy Center, the Roxy, the Knitting Factory, and other major national venues. We'll try to wait patiently for their triumphant return.
