A n v i l B l a s t i n g ?
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.

Feb 16, 6-8p Sunday — House Concert at Tom and Norene's, Sisters, OR
$15-20 donation, RSVP only; limited seating. Tea and light snacks provided. Call (503)-810-2747 to RSVP or for more information! The original folk songs of two local favorites, Mike Biggers and Jim Cornelius. This is a great opportunity to hear their heartfelt and hilarious songs, along with stories they don't usually share, in an intimate environment.
Dates TBA, 6-8p Wednesdays — Black Butte Ranch, west of Sisters, OR
Black Butte Ranch has a series of music picnics on the lawn every summer, and we get to play for several of them! Specifically, the lawn beside the old Rec Center, near the main lodge. There is some tree shade which increases into the evening, so bring a jacket or blankie. Kids are welcome. The climbing wall will be open for play even if you're not a kid.
Bring a blanket or lawn chairs. You may bring your own picnic and libations. And/or you may order & take-out the fare at the Bistro, which is an short walk from the music. Black Butte Ranch, just in case ya don't know, is about 10 minutes west of Sisters on Hwy 20/126. You don't need a permit to access this area of BBR. The concert is open to the public, and it's free! [We can't keep up with all that Mike is doing solo and with Dry Canyon Stampede, so to see what else he's up to go to Mike's website!]
N e w s : Have a look at Jim's new blog endeavor: Running Iron Report — it's a collaboration with Craig Rullman about, well, here's a clip to pique your interest: "Times are strange. Honor is outlawed, so the honorable must turn outlaw. The Cattle Barons and the Empire of Nothing have slapped their brand on just about everything. It's time to … alter… that. Time to break out the Running Iron."
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. 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."
