Rox in Sox, Portland’s premiere “Children’s Music and Book Festival,” founded and hosted by the very generous musician and organizer Aaron Nigel Smith, was a stunning success this year, and not just because the main act, OzoKids, roxed our sox off. First of all, there was a llama. Second of all, there was a llama. Third of all, there was some sort of cool Home Depot building project for kids, a cavalcade of cool kindie musicians like Mo Phillips, and, for real, a llama. At the end of the show I played a few songs then hauled out my drums to give kids a last chance to dance.
