Oregon Zoo Announces 2011 Summer Concerts Schedule

Several of these shows have already been listed on the Cog, but I'll list them again for inclusive purposes. Each show is obviously in Portland, Oregon. Tickets to all shows go on sale Friday, April 29th, at 9:00 a.m.

Taj Majal (w/Joan Osborne)

While most think Joan Osborne is just another pop star, she's actually a switch hitting hippie hickster (don't look that phrase up). Her smash hit "One Of Us," has served it's purpose way too many times. "What if god was one of us? [yawn] Just a slob [yaaaaaaaawn] stranger, bus, god, one.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz." I might need a nap before Taj Mahal.

Mary Chapin Carpenter (w/Mark Cohn)

You know Mark Cohn, right? He's that one guy. What is more impressive, a career built around "Walking In Memphis," or surviving a gun shot to the head? I'm voting the latter, although it doesn't pay as well.

Matisyahu (w/Moe.)

Matisyahu, or Matt as I like to call him, is a Jewish Reggae/Hip Hop act who has spent part of his early adult life residing in Oregon. What else can I say about Matt, he has a really large beard. You should too. You have three months until the show, go.
