We're very happy to be keeping our Thursday night downtown Portland tradition alive--20 years at Jimmy Mak's and 8 years and counting at the JLR (with a 1-year pandemic pause). As a bonus, top musicians and vocalists frequently sit in with the band--thrilled to play with Mel Brown, Portland's jazz drumming legend! On average, we play two Thursdays per month, and those shows frequently sell out, so you're advised to purchase your tickets ASAP! Go to the Jack London Revue's website (www.jacklondonrevue.com) to confirm dates and purchase advanced tickets (thru ticketweb.com).
Our first gig at this beautiful, friendly Newberg wine bar was a big hit--so much so that we've been invited to perform there monthly in 2026! Come check us out; in addition to the music, you'll enjoy a variety of fine wine offerings (including Stoller wines, natch) and tasty available food on site. No cover charge, ez parking, great service--what's not to like?

Mel Brown Organ Trio gig--on an island!
— —
Little Island Creamery, 448 E Little Island Rd, Cathlamer, WA 98612
This will be a unique gig. The venue is a fancy converted barn (there is such a thing!) on an island in the middle of the Columbia River. Spectacular views, great acoustics, and incredible food (created by an award-winning chef)! Details to follow...
From the website:
Little Island Creamery is a 54-acre farm situated on an island in the middle of the Lower Columbia River, and is home to a beautifully restored 1946 barn containing a working creamery at ground level and a stunning event space upstairs called, “The Venue.” Conveniently located only 90 minutes from Portland, Oregon, Little Island Creamery affords a wonderfully memorable and unique get-away-from-it-all experience for those who gather there to celebrate weddings and special days.
Renato and I always enjoy this brunch gig at the Line & Lure restaurant in the Ilani Casino. Excellent food, ez parking, no cover, beautiful decor--what's not to like? You might even drop a quarter in a slot machine and get lucky!
