Eric John Kaiser will perform 8 to 10 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 29 and 9 to 11 p.m. Friday, Aug. 30. Since 2006, when French native Eric John Kaiser moved from Paris to Portland, he has logged close to 10,000 miles via air, land and sea every year. Exploring North America on multiple lengthy tours, he has gigged his way up through Canada and down through the South, as far as New Orleans and Washington, D.C., where he performed as an artist in residence for the Smithsonian Museum. Hes traveled all over: sometimes driving his trusty Subaru under the wide Montana sky, sometimes riding the subway under the New York City canyons then jetting across the Atlantic to tour through France. His music has logged as many miles and picked up accents from across the American landscape. His latest songs resonate with an American rhythm like bouncing across the vast plains on horseback some western lap steel guitar and some dirty roadhouse blues.

Grand Lake Islands will perform 9 to 11 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 31 and 8 to 10 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 1. The band is a loose shape, lushly instrumented with several helping hands but at times bare-boned with only a thin guitar line and a shaky voice, serving mainly as the moniker for lyrically minded songwriter Erik Emanuelson. The music is infused with a pungent New England feel dried leaves and water tones swirling around the more mechanical beat of the city. Grand Lake Islands newest EP, Wake of Waking, was released this summer and is a testament to a time of questions, deliberations and declarations. It is an encouragement to move headlong down an uncertain road. The opening track, Flood, mirrors both the magnificence and trepidation of this uncertainty, saying, here comes the flood, stumbling through my blood, Im trying to understand its hum.
