This Weekend

Marshall Tucker Band

and many others

Ryan Creek Meadows

Saturday July 10, 2010

Amanda Cevallos will return to Missoula to appear on the stage at Ryan Creek Meadows, this Saturday. Marshall Tucker is the headliner, with Bob Wire, Shane Clouse and Kira Means. This is my all time favorite image of Amanda. She on the other hand preferred the following shot, and put it on her business card. 

Previous posts on this blog, and sets on the Flickr archive, cover Amanda's history with Wolf Redboy and her own band, Bad Intentions. Just search for Amanda on my photostream.

Secret Powers Starts the Party

His voice was still gravelly, but Shmed made it plain he was feeling better by belting out his best as part of a dynamic performance by Secret Powers, to open Amanda's party at the Badlander.




A rapt audience watched the scintillating performance.








This is the third and final installment of a busy Wednesday evening. It says right up there under profile I am slow. It took over 60 hours, three blog postings and more to cover March 4 and Amanda's parties. Part of the problem is I just try to capture too many images. I still have to learn to increase quality and decrease quantity. In the meantime, last night was First Friday and Olshittay was all over town. Did you see him? Coming soon: First Friday explorations and an updated photo of the old kitchenpoet himself.

In the meantime here's a person, who literally demanded to have his picture taken.

Amanda Kicks up Her Heels @Badlander

Wednesday, was Missoula's version of a "star-studded evening," as Amanda Cevallos had two CD release parties, and bid zootown farewell, before moving to Texas. One of the highlights was Shmed joining Amanda's band, Bad Intentions, playing the accordion.




Richie Reinholdt was also there.


Amanda was so hot, she set this guy's hair on fire!






As usual, there are many more photographs of Amanda, Bad Intentions, Richie Reinholdt and Shmed on the flickr archive. There is a set of this event, another for the previous one at Missoula Cellars, a set of Todd Snider w/amanda@the palace, and sets of many Missoula bands and performers. Find a group you like and start the slideshow.

Love Fest at Missoula Cellars

Missoula Cellars hosted Amanda Cevallos' CD release party, Wednesday evening, March 4. The event turned into a love fest with Amanda profusely praising her long-time teacher and friend, Richie Reinholdt, and an audience of friends and fans wishing her well in her upcoming move to Texas.




Amanda was elegant in black, and Richie was hard working as ever. Reinholdt provided a warm up set and stayed on stage to accompany Amanda. His presence on the new CD was duly noted and his songs performed individually and together.




An harmonica player, named Seth, joined in. Other local celebrities of the music scene were in attendance.
