JULY CALENDAR Friday July 16th, 6-8pm - HAPPY HOUR with Joy & Her Sentimental Gentlemen (western swing/ rockabilly) (Joy and her Sentimental Gentlemen (Sent Gents if the marquee is small or if your tongue is thick) draw from a broad swath of music from 40’s swing and jump to 60’s country, but what unifies it all is singer Joy Dorsey’s affectless musicality, and the hot and tasty pedal steel and Telecaster of Russ Blake and Ian Miller. Drummer Don Lawry and bassist Brent Martens keep the train on the tracks.) Friday July 16th, 9:30pm-12:30am - Lynn Frances Anderson (Americana / Rock / Folk Rock) Saturday July 17th - The Buckles (Bakersfield 60’s country/ Honky Tonk) 9-12pm $5 (Here’s your chance to hear the classics of honky-tonk, performed by Portland’s staunchest country traditionalists. Hard-core Bakersfield twang right out of the playbooks of Buck Owens and Merle Haggard, unaffected by the homogenized, country-pop of today. The Liverpool influence becomes apparent later in the evening as "The Buckles" serve up a highly listenable and eminently danceable set guaranteed to please.) Sunday July 18th - Closed Monday July 19th, 6-8pm - HAPPY HOUR with Steve Hettum & Friends Monday July 19th - Rosie Flores (Rockabilly) (Rosie Flores is a classic country woman: Texas-born and doe-eyed, big-voiced and familiar with the barroom stage. Her 1987 self-titled debut on Warner Bros. should have elbowed out a spot in Nashville's scene, but country music careers come and go with the tides, and Flores rolled with it. So there's everything to be said about her latest, 20 years later, being perhaps the best of her 40-year career. The heartbreak and hard living and fast times in between, the ones obligatory for good country songs, crystallize on Girl of the Century, her 12th studio album and Bloodshot debut. She's backed by Jon Langford-led trio the Pine Valley Cosmonauts, an inspired pairing that makes the gun-toting blues of opener "Chauffeur," Broken Spoke honky-tonk of "This Little Girl's Gone Rockin'," and rockabilly of "I Ain't Got You" more than just genres Flores knows well. Her voice is still a thing of wonder; on slow-jam "Dark Enough at Midnight," she turns up the heat under her Patsy Cline come-hither, and "Little Bells," one of two duets with Langford, fares better than the novelty he said/she said schtick of "Who's Gonna Take Your Garbage Out?" Closer "Girl of the Century" is all Rosie, the heaving, lump-in-your-throat finale any classic country woman needs in her back pocket when the spotlight's bathing her.) Tuesday July 20th, 6-8pm - HAPPY HOUR with Trio Bravo – featuring: Keeter Stuart & Bob Love (country) $2 Tuesday July 20th, 9:30pm-12:00am - The Dover Weinberg Quartet (All-star blues/eclectic rhythm & blues/swing, featuring Dover Weinberg, Chris Carlson, Dave Khal & Johnny Corey.) Wednesday July 21st, 6-8pm - HAPPY HOUR with Chris Miller Band (The Chris Miller Band is a Texas-style dance band, bringing together classic country gold (from Bob Wills to Ray Price and back again) He is also joined with James Sasser, on guitar and vocals, Russ Blake on pedal Steel, bass and drums..) Wednesday July 21st, 9:30pm-12:30am - Suburban Slim’s Blues Jam usually featuring Marco Savo on Bass & Jeff Strawbridge on drums. Thursday July 22nd, 6-8pm - HAPPY HOUR with The Portland Playboys (30’s Jazz / Western Swing / Blues 4 piece $2) (Hailing from rainy Portland Oregon, the Playboys playing their own music, a mix of hillbilly swing, gypsy jazz and tunes from the Great American Songbook. The band features Keith Brush on upright bass and David Langenes on guitar. The band's sound is timeless, equal parts Texas roadhouse, Paris dive bar and New York's sonic landscape. A regional favorite of the NW swing-dance community, they often find themselves shaking the shack for dancers and listeners alike. As they like to say, 'music for your drinking, dining and dancing pleasure...' C'mon out to a show and say howdy, we'd love to see you there!) Thursday July 22nd, 9:30pm-12:30am - Samuel James (Blues from Portland! Maine that is.) Cover $6 21+ *CBA card holding members get $1 off at the Door* (Samuel James is a performer of singular talent. A master of fingerstyle, slide, banjo, harmonica, and piano, this phenom is not yet out of his twenties. With musical influences ranging from Skip James and Sonny Terry to Gus Cannon and Charley Patton, such understanding of pre-war blues is rarely embodied in the music of one person. But Samuel James is not a revivalist. His songwriting is absolutely unparalleled in contemporary blues. His writing is descended from the long forgotten art of the songster. While musically one could compare him to Patton or Cannon, his writing goes in another direction entirely. His songs are often written as linear stories, novels in musical format: O. Henry meets Mose Allison.) Friday July 23rd, 6-8pm - HAPPY HOUR with Joy & Her Sentimental Gentlemen (western swing/ rockabilly) (Joy and her Sentimental Gentlemen (Sent Gents if the marquee is small or if your tongue is thick) draw from a broad swath of music from 40’s swing and jump to 60’s country, but what unifies it all is singer Joy Dorsey’s affectless musicality, and the hot and tasty pedal steel and Telecaster of Russ Blake and Ian Miller.

Rich Layton & The
Troublemakers
with
Billy D & the Hoodoos
in a benefit for
Gulfsongs Oregon.
(Rich Layton & The Troublemakers deliver a
high octane, harmonica-fueled and swampified sound that comes straight out of a
Texas Gulf Coast roadhouse. With Layton's rich vocals and harmonica and the twin
guitars of Mark Sexton and Larry McCoy, The Troublemakers have one mission when
they take the stage - to keep the dance floor packed, the beer flowing, and to
play every note as if their lives depended on it. Taking their inspiration from
bands like The Blasters, Los Lobos and NRBQ, they are keepers of the flame of
American Roots music.
