Fortis d'Ays-Morse

"Rhapsody Machine is so delightfully Portland. Earnest and dripping with talent the band will tug on your heartstrings after obtaining consent and checking in later to make sure you're okay. The comforting sound of a folky, bluesy, rock band is offset by an operatic female voice and once Rhapsody Machine politely gets your attention you'll go to sleep with the lyrics filtering through your dreams."

"Rhapsody Machine is one of those bands that comes around only every now and then, and when it does, you know. I have never missed a show. Back in the 80's I used to travel in my VW and just go from show to show. If i didn't have a ticket I would just stand there with my eyes closed with one finger up in the air waiting for that miracle. One time I didn't get a ticket, but someone gave me a shirt. I really needed that shirt. Another time a guy gave me a ticket and a burrito, man was I hungry. Speaking of Burritos, there is this joint in Chico CA that had the best burritos. Chico is the burrito town if you know what I mean. So anyway, back to my review, Gordo Burrito in Chico, can't beat it."
