Highlights

Tony Smiley at Silver Moon
Tonight, Silver Moon Brewing & Taproom hosts an eclectic bill of music, ranging from electronica to Americana to rock 'n' roll-icana.
First up is Redwood Son, a Portland-based band that specializes in “West Coast Americana," where pop hooks mingle with alt-country. Next: DJ Critical Hit, a self-described “audio anarchist on a digital mission of destruction." Think mashups and deep bass.
Bass is also the name of the game for KEEZ, aka Brad Jones, a local multi-instrumentalist (and member of Your Birthday) whose shows blur the line between beat-heavy electronic music and live, on-the-fly pop-rock experimentation.
But the all-inclusive nature of the night may be most embodied by Portland one-man band Tony Smiley, aka the “loop ninja," who records himself playing a bunch of different instruments (drums, keys, guitar, bass, etc.), then uses looping pedals to layer those sounds atop one another, all live. It's not only an impressive sight, but Smiley makes an impressive sound, too, an electro-pop-rock concoction that's definitely dance-floor friendly.
It's a busy night at the Moon, and you can find all the details you need at left.
