In 1987, Carmaig De Forest released his first album I Shall Be Released produced by Alex Chilton, recently released on CD for the first time by Omnivore Recordings. Back in the day, Carmaig was a staple on the Bay Area music scene often opening for the likes of the Ramones, the Violent Femmes, the band X (John Doe sings his praises inside Omnivore's CD booklet) and the Gang of Four with his ukulele as his only accompaniment. Carmaig, enjoying a second act as a stay-at-home parent in Seattle, has not played a full Portland show in 20 years. The Saturday April 27 show at Dante's is a CD release party for the Omnivore reissue I Shall Be Re-Released. Carmaig will play some solo ukulele selections and with an all-star band featuring members of Young Fresh Fellows and Mudhoney.
