Saturday Morning Video: Beaterville Cafe's brand new bar, old timey band
Ok, so this isn't Saturday Morning, but it still is Saturday and this is a video. This one was shot two weeks ago, at the opening night of the Beaterville Cafe's new bar at 2201 N. Killingsworth St. The new space is directly next door to the cafe. It's spacious, with lots of beer on tap, and its got that down home Beaterville auto-mojo all over it. The James King Band from Danville, Virginia stopped in for a foot stomping old timey kick off. Beaterville has been in North Portland's Overlook neighborhood for over a decade. It's a bit of an institution around here, and like the James King Band, it has a following. Folks came up from as far as Eugene to see the band and give old "Beaterville Bill" a bluegrass congratulations on his new place.
