The reason I am asking is because we perform as a fingerstyle guitar & percussion duo as shown on my site at GuitarSolo.com ... click on the links there for sound tracks (CDs), gig performances, weddings, etc.. We primarily perform my originals and some classical to modern day acoustic (two guitars: acoustic and classical), and would possibly like to perform at your bar. I've played at many venues in Oregon since I moved here in May 05. Check us out when you have time, and please get back with me. Thanks, Bob Dear Jeff, Does your bar have live music?

After a long holiday break in a land devoid of fine cocktails, we returned to Portland on New Year's Eve in search of a Sazerac and a fine Manhattan. We shook off the 737 cobwebs and headed straight to the Teardrop Lounge only to find them closed for a private event. We then dropped down to the Park Kitchen and found a similar sign in the window. After two cocktail thwarts, we headed straight to Vaquero on Jan. 2 only to find...thwart number three. No Jeff. No Scott. No "New Old-Fashioned." The initial word at Vaquero was that you were on "hiatus." I realized after a few minutes that this hiatus was permanent, but was relieved to find out that it was only a permanent break from 5th Street Market. I look forward to seeing you both in the new location soon. Congratulations. Angie Hi Jeff,
