Mississippi Studios
Portland, OR
July 20, 2009
Kristin and I caught a great show last night at Mississippi Studios. Anders and Johnny Sansone brought a little New Orleans spice to Stump Town on a hot Monday night. In the recently refurbished space on Mississippi Ave, no more than 100 people enjoyed an intimate setting as all three performers traded songs.
This was the first time I had been inside Mississippi Studios since the redesign, and they did a great job opening up the space while maintaining its character as a small and intimate setting. A small balcony overlooks a much larger seating area that accommodates more people. The stage is only a couple of feet off the floor, and the crowd is seated right up to the edge for an easy flow of energy from artist to audience. The sound quality was a little off, mostly in the first set, but I think that was mostly the sound guy working out the kinks than the venue itself. This would be a great place to book a rocking show! Maybe some late night post-Portland Blues Fest action next year?
My little Pentax Optio W60 was working overtime last night trying to deal with the interior light, but I got a couple of decent shots. Probably should have brought the SLR kit as it was a pretty informal setting.
