Salting: Shao Way Wu, Randy Porter, Gabe Porter at Morris Graves Museum Of Art

About

Humboldt's loss, Portland's gain: Shao Way Wu left us several years ago now, diminishing the local music scene--but we've had a hard time letting him go. With his old friend Randy Porter, he led off our previous season in a duo called "Tar Beach." Now he and Randy have a collaborative trio project, "Salting," with a new book of pensive, enigmatic tunes about truth and deception. Randy's son Gabe fills in for regular drummer Jason Palmer (not to be confused with the trumpeter of the same name).
