Sunshine Jones – Pre-Flight Test – Folding Space, PDX 2016
If for whatever reason the video doesn’t actually load and the above area is blank, just reload and it’ll show up
March 19th was the preliminary test for this year’s live ground tour. I packed everything up and Martha and I drove to Portland to play a pre-flight test show at the wonderful quarterly event Folding Space at my dear friend Ray’s amazing Liquor Store location.
Brilliant sound, beautiful people and a wonderful night.
I learned a lot, and really got my head together for this year’s return to 100% live performance and ground touring.
This is a superb micro-document of the experience, the love, and all the wonderful vibes by Martha Traer for MT Films.

And this is why I have loved you for over 20 yrs! Keep on keep in on Sunshine Jones! You rock!!!
I am really looking forward to seeing you! It’s time to boogie!!! Working on Asheville and Sumter xoxo
Will you be recording the sets for those of us unable to make any of your dates? Please say yes!
I don’t think that I will be personally making live recordings – Since it’s 100% live there is no recording device in my rig to do that. People usually record things, but for this tour I would probably not expect too many bootlegs. The idea is that I am going to tour this music, and work it out as I go… then when I get home in September I will record it. So everyone who comes out is collaborating with me on my new album.
So look for the ultimate recording of this music to be my forthcoming album near the end of the year. and then, naturally, I will tour it again!
I urge you to make it to one of the shows and join me! love.
I completely understand and that sounds like a good plan! I’ll be looking forward to it more than you can imagine!
I’m down in Memphis, got friends in Atlanta, that would be fun. Many, many moons ago you played Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, I’ll never forget the giant hug I got from you, I had been going through some rough patches and you gave me an awesome pep talk about love, life and dancing. I will never forget it. If I can make it out to see you again I’ll find you and give you another hug.
Thanks for the music, I cannot wait to hear this next chapter in your life!
@Nicholas Paisley I will be coming to Memphis, and to Nashville, and possibly Little Rock too. A live set, a seminar and maybe a DJ set too. So it’s on baby! xo
No shiz?!? Oh dude that would just make my day! You helped breathe life back into my passion for music all those years ago and you have done it all over again today. ;)
Dude whatever I can do to help let me know! Let’s do this!
looking forward to seeing more of these!
