Haven’t had a chance to catch Professor Banjo in action at Milagros? You have one more chance! His last Milagros show is tomorrow (Wednesday, March 16) at 1pm!
In real life he is Paul Silveria but on stage the Professor performs solo banjo in the old time “claw hammer” style. His songs range from up tempo instrumentals and novelty tunes to country blues and moody mountain ballads. Sometimes the Professor dons a special one man band kite with drum, tambourine, kazoo, bell, spoons and more!
$3 suggested donation per walking human for the artist.
Mister Hoo of The Alphabeticians returns to Milagros for his regular visit tomorrow, November 10, at 11am.
Mister Hoo (Jeff Inlay) is just 3 years shy of 47 and, though familiar with the alphabet since childhood, has only grown to love it in recent years. A father of 2 and resident of West Linn, he has been in more bands than he can count (although he claims he can only count to 3), but is most well known for playing in Portland 90′s sensation Hummingfish, and is least well known for his time in Southern California punk band the Mendicant Sauciers. He’s also confident he was not in Led Zeppelin.
Come sing some songs with the Mister at Milagros tomorrow at 11am! $3 suggested donation per walking human for the artist.

We always enjoy the Professor (and his “C-H-I-C-K-E-N” song has spurred impromptu spelling bees so his “title” does have some merit). We are proud to feature his debut CD at Milagros! Get it in the store or on-line.
Professor Banjo is at Milagros on Monday at 11am, come join the fun!

One of our fave family outings is heading to Mississippi Pizza to see Professor Banjo! Who is the good professor?
In real life he is Paul Silveria but on stage the Professor performs solo banjo in the old time “claw hammer” style. His songs range from up tempo instrumentals and novelty tunes to country blues and moody mountain ballads. Sometimes the Professor dons a special one man band kite with drum, tambourine, kazoo, bell, spoons and more!
We always enjoy the Professor (and his “C-H-I-C-K-E-N” song has spurred impromptu spelling bees so his “title” does have some merit). We are proud to feature his debut CD at Milagros! Get it in the store or on-line.
The Professor is tied up this summer but we hope to host him in the Milagros family room in the not too distant future. So more to come!
