Late Show - Machado Mijiga - 9:45p - $20

• Dario LaPoma - piano
• Garrett McGinn - bass
• Machado Mijiga - drums
• Bobbi MacKenzie - vocals
• Onry Henreid - vocal

Machado Mijiga brings a fun new trio to The 1905 with two very special guest vocalists! Keyboardist Dario LaPoma and bassist Garrett McGinn play together for the first time in decades, cutting their teeth in the Chicago music scene in the late 00's and partially stepping back from "the game" for other career explorations. In somewhat rare form, Mijiga who normally focusses on instrumental music from local composers, will be doing mostly covers for a night, ranging from Nirvana to Aphex Twin, and also featuring two of Portland's finest vocalists that found their way in other musical worlds: Bobbi MacKenzie on Broadway (Macbeth, School of Rock) and classically trained Onry Henreid (Portland Opera.) Don't miss this rare opportunity to experience this meeting of so many musical minds for the very first time!
