The Harlots play the Deschutes Mountain Room on Saturday night after mountain bikers come off the trail from 100 mile rides. Amy Mitchell who is the cellist for the Harlots, is also an avid tandem mountain bike rider. By avid I mean, she and her boyfriend Henry are the tandem single-speed champions of the world - no joke. Anyway, I fear she almost quit being my friend when I signed us up for this gig because it means she will only be doing the 50 mile ride that Saturday with Henry as opposed the 100 miles. In my mind playing the cello is as heroic as riding an extra 50 miles, BUT riding is what she lives for and it means a lot to me that she'll be up there on stage with me entertaining ya all. Very many strong sweaty dirty men are both compelling and well... kind of intimidating!
