This very special Waterfront Blues Festival set is dedicated to a pair of musical giants and close friends who passed away prematurely 10 years ago: pianist Janice Scroggins and vocalist Linda Hornbuckle. Performing will be an all-star group of musicians & vocalists who collaborated closely with Janice & Linda over the years. You won't want to miss this emotional performance.

$45 or $50 for 1-day pass; other options available.

King Louie & Renato Caranto duo gig!

 —  —

Lane Cellars, 340 NE 4th Ave., Camas, WA 98607

Renato and I are looking forward to playing again at this gorgeous, new wine bar in downtown Camas (right across the street from the Liberty Theater). Unlike most restaurants, this one was designed with acoustics in mind (the owners even hired an acoustical engineer), so it sounds great. Patrons can hear every note as well as hear themselves converse! Obviously the wine is a highlight, but the appetizers are very good too. Come check it out if you're a Clark County-ite! (no cover charge)

Chic Preston Quartet gig!

 —  —

MoCo, 904 2nd Ave, Mosier, OR 97040

Chic Preston reminds me of a guitar-playing Mose Allison--very musical, soulful & down to earth. We'll be playing with drummer Tim Ortlieb and the great Renato Caranto (on sax, natch). Chic and Tim say that MoCo is a very cool gig: an intimate outdoor setting with great food & drink. Can't wait!
