Through 2008-2010, Pete Wright (http://rashpixel.com/) and Curt Siffert (http://curtsiffert.com/) introduced a new singer/songwriter from in and around Portland, Oregon in each episode. All recordings were staged in Curt's living room in North Portland, all sitting performed on his red couch. In 2010, Curt and Pete moved apart and the show was put on permanent hiatus. Each episode is archived here for good measure and posterity. Good talk. Great music. All free.
