The popular RiverCity Music Festival, born the RiverCity Bluegrass Festival, has evolved, matured – and gotten even better. The festival, scheduled Jan. 6 – 8, 2012, at The Red Lion at Jantzen Beach, offers one of the most exciting and eclectic collection of musicians ever to perform in a single Portland weekend.

In addition to acclaimed bluegrass performers (The Boxcars, Steep Canyon Rangers, young prodigy Sierra Hull and Hwy. 111, Jim Lauderdale, The Peter Rowan Band), the festival has musicians from the top of other musical genres.

The Blazers lost their first game of the season on Sunday against the rising LA Clippers. They face an Oklahoma City Thunder team tonight that many people predict the Western Division this year. The Thunder are coming off a loss to the NBA Champion Dallas Mavericks last night. With a win, the Blazers will move to first place in the West.
