The movie is slated to come out some time this year,in the meantime, meet...Jon Garcia!
*******************************************
How long have you lived in the Portland area? I lived here 7 years.
Give us a brief history of your band/project: I started playing with a 5 piece band about 5 years ago, then as I started making films and getting busier with video I had less time to keep a band together. I started playing solo 2 years ago, then I met Raelyn Olson, who is a fantastic harp player and we now are a duo.
What’s the first song you ever learned to play? The first song I ever learned to play was "Come as you are" by Nirvana.
What’s your favorite local venue to play? To see other bands? I love to play at The Woods.
Speaking of other bands, who do you like on the Portland music scene? I like We're From Japan, and No Kind of Rider, and Loch Lomond. There are countless others, but that's who comes to mind right off the bat.
Tell us about a recent “Only in Portland” moment you might have had. A guy rode past me on one of those tall bicycles, I ran into all of my ex girlfriends in an hour and a barista acted like I was inconveniencing her by asking her for an espresso.
Finish this sentence: “I cannot live without family/music/film".
