Upcoming Events In & Around EugeneSeptember 20 - September 26 
Ticket Pricing: $35 General Admission| $54 Reserved SeatingContact Info: September 21 Kina Grannis Where: W.O.W Hall When: 8:00 PM Tuesday 
Kina started playing shows at the age of four in front of her stuffed animals. Now she plays in front of people, though it wasn't the quickest transition for the admittedly shy songstress. While attending college at USC, Kina often retreated to the secluded stairwells around campus where she could write and sing without being heard. Protected by their quiet confines, she found a safe haven and a creative outlet for her music. Armed with a guitar and a cup of tea, Kina wrote in every stairwell she came across. And it was within these stairwells that she developed her confidence as a songwriter and her poise as a performer.

With special guest Blue Print; Grieves & Budo feat. DJ Rare Groove opening.Eleven years after becoming the first hip-hop act to put the Twin Cities on the map, Atmosphere has grown into one of the most accomplished MC/producer duos around. Between Slug and Ant, they've released six albums, 11 Sad Clown tour albums and various side-projects like Felt - amounting in well over a million units sold. And along the way have performed to sold-out crowds everywhere from modest sized venues in their hometown to colossal festivals in Japan. Since releasing their 1997 debut, Overcast!, Ant's ASR-born melodic beats and Slug's open book and observational style of rapping continues to evolve into hip-hop that's more honest - more textured. And the praise for these Rhymesayers pioneers hasn't stopped flowing in. Repackaged, remastered and uglier than ever, the critically acclaimed third official studio release from Atmosphere, God Loves Ugly, is back after being out of print for over a year. The God Loves Ugly re-issue also features a FREE bonus DVD. Originally released as the limited Sad Clown Bad Dub 4 (The Godlovesugly Release Parties) DVD, it features 2 hours of live performance footage, backstage shenanigans, several special guest appearances and music videos for "Godlovesugly", "Summersong" and "Say Shh". Out of print for years, this DVD has been repackaged in a custom sleeve that comes inserted in with the re-issue of God Loves Ugly. www.myspace.com/atmosphere

Ticket Pricing: Free to publicContact Info: September 26 Railroad Earth Where: The McDonald Theatre When: 7:00 PM Sunday 
With special guest Toubab Krewe opening.Acoustic guitar/lead vocalist Todd Sheaffer: "When we started, we only loosely had the idea of getting together and playing some music. It started that informally; just getting together and doing some picking and playing. Over a couple of month period, we started working on some original songs, as well as playing some covers that we thought would be fun to play." Shortly thereafter, they took five songs from their budding repertoire into a studio and knocked out a demo in just two days. Their soon-to-be manager sent that demo to a few festivals, and - to the band's surprise - they were booked at the prestigious Telluride Bluegrass Festival before they'd even played their first gig. This prompted them to quickly go in and record five more songs; the ten combined tracks of which made up their debut album, "The Black Bear Sessions." That was the beginning of Railroad Earth's journey: since then, they've released three more studio albums, two on Sugar Hill Records (2002's "Bird In A House" and 2004's "The Good Life") and one on SCI Fidelity (2008's "Amen Corner"). They've also amassed a huge and loyal fanbase that follows them from show to show, taking advantage of the band's liberal taping policy. But RRE bristle about being lumped into any one "scene." Not out of animosity for any other artists: it's just that they don't find the labels very useful. As Carbone points out, "We use unique acoustic instrumentation, but we're definitely not a bluegrass band - so that doesn't fit. And I think the term 'jam bands' probably refers more to the fans than to the bands. I think these fans just like live music." Railroad Earth certainly thrives in a live setting, as their stunning 2006 live album, "Elko," is certian proof of that. It's no secret that improvisation is one of the RRE's big strengths. But what really sets them apart is the strength of their songwriting. It was the strength of those first five songs that got them on the bill at Telluride. And they've only gotten better since then. www.railroadearth.com
Ticket Pricing: $19 in advance | $24 day of show Contact Info: September 26 Benise: The Spanish Guitar  Where: The Hult Center - Silva Hall When: 8:00 PM Saturday The Spanish Guitar is an epic tale that will transport the audience to such exotic places as a Parisian café, a Flamenco tapas bar in Spain, an Arabian desert, a Venetian masquerade ball, and the cobblestone streets of old Havana. This new show will feature Benise's guitar as protagonist, as it becomes the keeper of the stories of glory and tragedy through time and worlds gone by. Brilliantly choreographed dance numbers and orchestral pieces accompany the stories from inside this magical instrument. While taking place on an ever-changing stage, Benise's new show will feature real video footage from his travels around the globe. The cultures and experiences Benise encountered on his voyage were the inspiration for the new music, dance, and costumes featured in The Spanish Guitar. The Emmy Award-winning cast from the PBS Special "Nights of Fire" includes dancers carefully handpicked from a global pool of some of the most brilliantly diverse talent to be found. Traditional Flamenco dancers, Broadway performers, and soloists previously featured with Madonna, Gloria Estefan, and Ricky Martin have all joined forces to make up The Gitanas, Benise's female dancers. Ticket Pricing: $55, $45, $35, $25, $20
Contact Info: Visit Website of The Hult Center >> September 26 The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band with Larry and his Flask Where: W.O.W Hall When: 8:00 PM Sunday 
There aren't a lot of Warped Tour vets who can claim proficiency in the use of washboards, bottleneck slides and five-gallon buckets. Most didn't spend their teens playing along to Charlie Patton and Bukka White albums. And just about none are fronted by a commissioned member of the Honorary Order of Kentucky Colonels.
