If you’re straining against the drizzly weather, it’s time to get out and enjoy Portland’s amazing nightlife. Tonight, you can get buzzed on some blissful bluegrass, all for a good cause. The Sugarcane String Band is playing tonight from 6-10pm at the St. Francis Cafe at 1182 SE Pine St. The proceeds will benefit St. Francis outreach programs. Here’s the details, via CNRG.
Sugarcane String Band has been growing a crowd faithful followers since their debut several years ago. These guys hypnotize with their own groovy style of bluegrass rock and have been known to pack the house at the Goodfoot Lounge.
