Sell out warning! Hazy country rock dreams will come true with Wooden Shjips / Moon Duo journeyman Ripley Johnson. Rose City Band’s gorgeous pedal steel, soothing harmonica and soft drumming mix the hushed, anthemic beauty of Mazzy Star or Yo La Tengo with the freewheeling cosmic pastoral of the Grateful Dead.
