By SCOTT CUNNINGHAM // Appears at Doug Fir Lounge on Aug. 21 and 22
Jesse Dayton has had a wonderful career, getting his start in Austin, Texas, at the fabled Broken Spoke bar, catching the ear of artists such as Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings. His latest album is titled "Mixtape Volume 1" and was released on Aug. 9 on Blue Elan Records. In this version of our featured videos, Dayton reimagines the Clash's Bankrobber with his own honky-tonk mixture of Gulf Coast magic. Dayton will be playing the Doug Fir Lounge in Portland next week on Aug. 21 and Aug 22 in support of the album.
