Just a little treat from City of Animals’ show at Ten Depot a couple months ago.
Oh yeah, and they’re playing at Ten Depot tonight!  See you there.

Fresh from their monster US TOUR Finn Riggins will be gracing La Grande at Dukes bar and grill on Thursday May, 20. With local comrades City of Animals and Gregory Rawlins the show will have nothing less than the ability to make your knees shake, chatter, in that excited, joyous, collected soul-gasm …. I [...]

When we hear the term singer-songwriter, a very specific image comes to mind:  A troubled soul at a coffee shop, spilling their emotions for everyone to see behind a worn acoustic guitar or a slightly out-of-tune piano.  While this is a very tried-and-true genre, it is always nice when an artist comes along to throw [...]

Since moving here last June, I have had numerous opportunities to watch some of the best live entertainment… Something I had not expected when I moved to La Grande. Sons of Guns, City of Animals, Finn Riggins, and Auburn Isaak are just a few that I’ve had the joy of seeing multiple times.
