Although "Anvil Blasters" may sound like the name of a heavy metal (pun intended) band, we play an eclectic mix of old and new songs, rowdy and mellow, known and fresh, covers and originals. Photos thanks to Lynn Woodward and Traci Hill.

N e w s :  Warriors of the Wild Lands: True Tales of the Frontier Partisans, Jim's book is out! It's available for purchase in local bookstores Sisters' own Paulina Springs Books and on Jim's website. Read more about it on Jim's Frontier Partisans blog.  Borderland Noir, Jim has an essay, "Pancho Villa: Fourth Horseman of the Mexican Apocalypse," published in the crime anthology Borderland Noir, edited by Craig McDonald and published by Betimes Books. It's available at Paulina Springs Books in Sisters and Redmond as well as online. Says Jim, "It's just a wildly fascinating chunk of history. Talk about your game of thrones — every single major leader of the Revolution died violently. In this case, it wasn't just you win or you die, it was you win AND you die."
