The Willamette Week says this of Sunday’s show:

Bar Bar Burger Lounge & Patio | 3939 N Mississippi Ave.
Mississippi Summer Sessions: Marty Marquis, Chris Robley
[STRIPPED-DOWN SONGWRITERS] Marty Marquis and Chris Robley usually roll with entourages: Marquis plays guitar for the mighty Blitzen Trapper, and Robley is the fearless leader of Chris Robley & the Fear of Heights. But at this daytime affair on Mississippi Studios’ new drink extension Bar Bar’s sunny patio, the two figureheads are flying stag. Robley’s catchy guitar lines and emotive croon pair up to produce arresting soul pop, like a sweetly stripped-down version of his full band’s thunderous chamber rock. Marquis employs the same gravelly baritone used in Blitzen Trapper’s dusty folk rock to strum out vivid songs that take listeners on an adventure to a more desolate time and place. WHITNEY HAWKE. 3 pm. 3939 N Mississippi Ave., . Free. All ages.

This Saturday night at Holocene in downtown Portland, Team Marmoset will be “using our power for good”, as we present, “Writer’s Block” – a benefit show, with all proceeds going to the Oregon Food Bank.

Writer’s Block is a little idea we came up with to accomplish a couple of things in the community. First off, we are all quite aware of the unfortunate and challenging economic situation the world has quickly fallen victim to. This new Writer’s Block series will be a vehicle for raising awareness of our community’s needs and raising both funds and food for one of the better community service organizations in town.

The second objective for this event is to bring together a diverse number of singer-songwriters from the Portland community and feature the core of their talent – songwriting – in a simplified, stripped-down presentation. As you can see, many of the artists participating in this first edition of the Writer’s Block series are songwriters and leads for successful Northwest-based bands. Others are some lesser-known, but equally talented artists, which we’ve chosen to highlight and introduce to an appreciative audience. Ideally, Writer’s Block might weave a new thread in the Portland music community, bringing artists and people together in community, while removing some of the barriers, clubs, and cliques that naturally prevail in an music scene such as Portland.

Writer’s Block is this Saturday night at Holocene in Portland and only costs $5, along with at least two cans of food. All proceeds and food will be donated directly to the Oregon Food Bank. The show will feature an intimate candle light setting, with non-stop music rotating between two stages throughout the evening. All of the performances will be stripped-down, acoustic solo, duo and trio performances and, hopefully, will all combine for a very special evening. Additionally, it will be a great time to meet new people and build some relationships in the PDX music community. There will also be a Motown-themed dance party to follow, with our dear friend, Karizma, working the turn tables. The doors open at 8pm – get there early! More info at www.holocene.org-
