June 15, 2016 Coffeeshop conversations is back. I’m OMN’s Tom D’Antoni and today we’re not in our usual spot, the cupping room at World Cup Coffee and Tea and that’s because our guest is in Los Angeles where she had a gig last night. Liv Warfield, as most of you know, had a great run while she was living in Portland, Growing as an artist and a person. Then she was enfolded in purple as a singer with Prince. He shepherded her solo album, The Unexpected, and was the most important factor in her emergence as a powerful solo artist. When Prince died, the first thing on the mind of many Portlanders was…how is Liv? How will this affect her career…more importantly, her life. She’s not far into the healing and dealing process and she’s hardly talked to anyone about it. She and I go way back.
