Crash Test Dummies

CRASH TEST DUMMIES
Feb 10
With one of the most recognizable voices in Canadian music history, alternative rock band Crash Test Dummies are a three-time Grammy nominated and JUNO award- winning group, who soared to the top of the worldwide charts in the early 1990’s with hits “Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm” and “Superman’s Song”. Their cover of “The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead” was a highlight of the soundtrack to the blockbuster film, “Dumb and Dumber”, while simultaneously reaching #4 on the US Top 100 album charts. All of their releases keep the same folk-hued, alternative spirit of their early sound, centering around the distinct baritone of frontman Brad Roberts and Ellen Reid’s folk-rock fusion. After a twenty-year hiatus, the Crash Test Dummies reunited in 2018 for a two-week tour to celebrate their most successful album “God Shuffled His Feet”. The overwhelming reception to these shows has since led to continuous touring across two continents, with sold-out shows across the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands.

Crabbing Season on the Oregon Coast

CRABBING SEASON ON THE OREGON COAST
Seasonal
Winter is the most wonderful time of the year, which in Oregon is also one of the tastiest. Commercial crabbing season usually kicks off in December for a festive holiday treat. With more than 400 commercial boats working the waters from Astoria to Brookings, there’s no better time to visit a seafood market for the freshest and heaviest Dungeness crab. 

Oregon’s commercial crab fishery is the most valuable single-species fishery in the state. In 2023 crabbers hauled in more than 23.8 million pounds of Dungeness — a crab celebrated for its sweet, succulent meat that’s packed with healthy omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B-12. It’s also rewarding to extract its meat from the shell, yielding satisfying portions with minimal work. One crab alone can often feed two people, especially when served with sides.
