Buoy LaRue will be a STAR!


By MK

I wasn't sure what to expect when I was invited to see Michael Hermann's group, Buoy LaRue, at Portland's Tiger Bar last month. I had seen Michael in a few musicals back in the mid-90's and knew he had star quality. I had no idea that he was such a musician, and has incorporated a great mix of classic rock and string quartet. I could understand why Buoy LaRue, is labeled as Beethoven meets Beck!

We are Back!




In February, I started a weekly streaming audio program on the now defunct, Q-radio, after a few short weeks of great ratings, the server blew and so went the the whole q-netwerk (Q-Portland, Q-Seattle, Q-Radio, etc) It is taking months to decide if it is worth saving. The answer is YES, but gradually. Since I created the OUTview brand and not Q-netwerk, I hope the Q's audience will stick with me during this process, I have set forth to rebuild the brand on blogspot, and while this is happening I can continue to do my show, and split the themes on different blogs. GLBT issues will go on Q-issues; Entertainment on Q-Entertainment, etc. My goal is to build up gradually my audience and perhaps a new home!
