By Emil Amos' Drifter's Sympathy

10:54 PM EDT on August 23, 2026

The third installment of the MOVING TO PORTLAND Trilogy bears the accidental creation of the band GRAILS, their first show and first recording... but the task of it brings some seedy characters into the mix.

You can read about how many people were affected by him and how he was a huge part of helping bands out in Portland and Chicago from the nineties onward here :
