Rauelsson to open for She & Him in Barcelona / Tour in Spain with a Portland
touch

Spain to Oregon… then Oregon to Spain then back and all over again… that
sounds like Rauelsson, doesn’t it?. After an entire year in Oregon, Rauelsson
is back in Spain until the Summer. He seems to not have had enough of Portland
as he is about to embark on a tour all over the Spanish peninsula that is somehow
full of Portland. He will be touring Spain with the same Portland band that
played with him here in Oregon and on his West Coast shows; Laurel Simmons
(MayMay; who will open for some shows in Spain), Nicholas Marshall
(Sabertooth), Matt Berger (Musee Mecanique, Laura Gibson, etc.), Anna Schott
and Dave Leavitt. The tour starts in Barcelona opening for She & Him, the
“side” project of monster-of-folk and Portlander M. Ward with actress Zooey
Deschanel. Then they head to Valencia, where they play with HUSH queen Laura
Gibson, who is back in Europe on an extensive tour with Port O’Brien. Then
north to the medieval city of Girona, then Madrid for a Radio-3
interview/session on Julio Ruiz’s Disco Grande (a session that Rauelsson shares
with Laura Gibson). Then a bit south to Albacete, then back to Madrid, then off
to the Mediterranean coast to play in Alicante and from there to finish on a
homecoming show at the Auditori of Castellón….oh! and before the tour
supporting “La Siembra” starts Rauelsson will be performing live the score that
he wrote for the documentary “From River to Sea”, directed by Susan Fink, as
part of the Cinemascore Festival in Benicassim, Spain.

Hola,

I hope this new year is finding you all well. Six more weeks of winter, at least that’s what the groundhog says, that is fine with me. The weather has been quite nice here in Portlandia, kind of a mild winter actually. Pluto, oh Pluto, now that is not a planet anymore is getting redder and changing colors; I hope it’s not getting angry or sad to be a pseudo-planet ….and that is pretty much all I know from the outside world. I have been so busy with music lately I do not even know what day I’m living in, and all the sudden here we are, February 2010. It sounds kind of sci-fi. Can’t believe it’s been already a year since I got back here in PDX. Alright, time flies, yes.

We are really excited to play this next Thursday at one of our favorite places in Portland, The Woods. I am thrilled to play with Dolorean. I have been a huge fan of Al Jame’s band for a long time and I am honored that they wanted to play with us on our Record Release Show. Dolorean’s last album ‘You Can’t Win’ is one of my favorite records of all times and the new songs on the new record (lucky to have heard it!) are so elegant and cool I know everyone is going to have a great time with them. It should be a fun night. Also, we have a great guest: no other than my good friend, the wonderful Laura Gibson, who will sing with us some spanish words. It should be fun… and after that we just hit the road with our little spanish lullabies… eastern Oregon, then Washington then California! Please, be well.
