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.
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)
Four Kings gig!
— —
Northwood Public House & Brewery, 1401 SE Rasmussen Blvd, Battle Ground, WA 98604
It's always a blast to play with "The Four Kings" (i.e., King Louie & Renato Caranto plus Sean Holmes & Edwin Coleman III), and Northwood Public House is our very favorite place to do it! Delicious food, super friendly staff, cool decor, easy parking: what's not to like? (No cover charge!)
For this outdoor summer concert--part of Portland's "Summer Free For All" series--I'll be joined by NW soul singing legend Andy Stokes along with Edwin Coleman III on drums and Gary Harris on sax. All ages and free. This should be a blast!
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!

Sadly, our 20-year run as "Jimmy Mak's signature group" (The Oregonian) came to an end in December 2016 with Jimmy's untimely passing. But our new Thursday night residency at the Jack London Revue is going very well--with three years already under our belt. This is a beautiful, recently-renovated downstairs venue reminiscent of classic jazz clubs of the 50's & 60's. The club features a great sound system, plenty of comfortable seating, intimate lighting, good food, drink & service, and even a dance floor.
