CONCERT ALERT >>>

Van Morrison, that barrel-chested Belfast brooder, brings his misty and mystical meanderings, his legendary brand of white soul, and a dose of cynical complacency to the Gorge Amphitheatre Sunday, Aug. 8 at 6 p.m.

Morrison may be a bit of a curmudgeon these days, but take a listen to the dusk-time sound of Astral Weeks and you'll be reminded why the mercurial man and his inimitable voice can be classified as timeless.

Tckets are $50, $90, $125 and $200 and go on sale Monday, June 28 at 10 a.m. at LiveNation.com, all Ticketmaster outlets, or charge by phone 800.745.3000.
