We're settling into a mellow groove this Wednesday as folk music dominates tonight. At Soda Bar, catch Portland's eclectic folk act Y La Bamba, or at the Casbah you can catch blues-and-folk New Yorker, the Bones of JR Jones. The Belly Up hosts a local lineup headed by Derren Raser, while Matt the Electrician returns to Java Joe's. There aren't a lot of choices tonight, but the ones we've got are pretty darn good if you're feeling that midweek itch to see deeply entertaining and passionately performed live music.
