MARCH CALENDAR

Monday March 1st, 8-11pm - Lily Wilde Orchestra (Award-winning vocalist Lily Wilde heads up an ensemble comprising 17 of PDX's top musicians and delivers big band swing at its best! LWO brings a fresh take on what many perceive to be "the" music from the great swing era with a repertoire that delves further into the less commercially recognized artists, along with some of the more obscure tunes crafted by the more familiar big names of the genre. Oh... and yes, you will hear a few of your favorite standards, with some blues thrown in for good measure as well! This opportunity to experience an evening of great music on a grand scale in a fun, relaxed, and intimate environment is just the ticket for music lovers craving the answer to the question, "What's good 'n' hot in Portland?")

Tuesday March 2nd, 6-8pm - HAPPY HOUR with Keeter Stuart Band  (country) $2

Tuesday March 2nd, 9:30pm - The Dover Weinberg Quartet (All-star blues/eclectic rhythm & blues/swing, featuring Dover Weinberg, Chris Carlson, Dave Khal & Johnny Corey.)

Wednesday March 3rd, 6-8pm - HAPPY HOUR with Northwesternaires $2 (The Northwesternaires are a Texas-style dance band, bringing together classic country gold (from Bob Wills to Ray Price and back again) with a smattering of originals from vocalist/guitarist Chris Miller. The Northwesternaires also include such luminaries as Kevin Healy on fiddle and Pat Goodbla on bass and vocals (known among the national Western Swing scene for their work in Longhorn), as well as guitarist/vocalist/emcee Ian Miller and steel guitarist Russ Blake (both from Lisa and Her Kin). Keeping the toe-tappin', two-steppin' beat going is Dangerous Don Lawry (of The Troublemakers and Joy and Her Sentimental Gentlemen), not to mention guest spots by whatever talent may be lurking in the crowd on any given night!)

Wednesday March 3rd, 9:30pm-12:30am - Blues Jam with Suburban Slim, Jeff Strawbridge & Marco Savo - $2 cover.

Thursday March 4th, 6-8pm - HAPPY HOUR with Pete Krebs' Portland Playboys (Hailing from rainy Portland, Oregon, the Pete Krebs Trio can be found performing somewhere around town almost every night of the week-- clubs, pubs, restaurants, old man bars and gas stations-- playing their own music, a mix of hillbilly swing, gypsy jazz and tunes from the Great American Songbook. Led by guitarist and vocalist Pete Krebs, the Trio features Keith Brush on upright bass and David Langenes on guitar. Formed in 2006, the Trio has appeared nationally as well as internationally and has been featured on Oregon Public Broadcasting's 'Art Beat', KMHD's 'Home Grown Live' and both the Portland and Cathedral Park Jazz Festivals and the PDX Lindy Exchange. The band's sound is timeless, equal parts Texas roadhouse, Paris dive bar and New York's sonic landscape. A regional favorite of the northwest swing dance community, the Trio often find themselves shaking the shack for dancers and listeners alike. As they like to say, it's "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 March 4th, 9:30pm-12:30am - Big Monti (His name is Monti Amundson but most people call him Big Monti. Not just because of the man’s physical appearance, but because of his larger than life voice, guitar virtuosity, and sheer presence. When Big Monti takes the stage, it’s clear that there’s more going on than the usual extended guitar solos-– the man plays and sings larger than life. Monti’s breakout band, The Blubinos (pronounced blue-bye-nose), were a dominant force in the Northwest music scene from 1987 to 1992 and shared concert stages with some of the biggest names in the business, including John Lee Hooker, Johnny Winter and Buddy Guy. In 1991 The Blubinos won Portland Music Association’s award for Outstanding Blues Act. In 1993 Monti signed on with Munich Records in Holland and promptly moved his headquarters to Amsterdam. Over the next six years Monti recorded five albums and toured extensively in Europe, developing a huge fan base. When Monti gets compared to Stevie Ray Vaughan or Johnny Winter he just says “thank you.” The fact is, the big man has his own style. “I’m a blues guitar player in a band that plays rock 'n' roll,” is how Monti explains it. He doesn’t so much as straddle the line between the genres as bend it, ignore it, or race back and forth across it until both sides go up in flames. The blues of Big Monti comes straight from the heart, cuts through your soul and is as real as it gets.)

Friday March 5th, 6-8pm - HAPPY HOUR with Bridge Creek (country/roots)

Friday March 5th - David Vest (David Vest was NW blues legend Paul deLay's sidekick for a number of years before joining the Northwest PIANORAMA tour with D.K. Stewart and Kenny Blues Boss Wayne. He played his first gig in 1957, jammed with Big Joe Turner in the '60s, and has toured with Jimmy T99 Nelson, Floyd Dixon, and Lavelle White. Along the way he wrote the first songs ever recorded by country legend Tammy Wynette, played for a gospel quartet, backed Red Foley at a show where all the stars got robbed, and became the first American artist ever to record an album in Romania.)

Saturday March 6th -  Lenny Rancher & The Carlyle Group with Steve Hettum & Janglers (roots rock) Church of Surf & The Chakra Dancers (surf guitar)

Sunday March 7th - Closed

Monday March 8th - Petunia & The Vipers (country From Vancouver BC) (PETUNIA & THE VIPERS play a wide variety of musical styles that meld into 'their own thing', although they draw heavy influence from the rockabilly and western swing end of the spectrum. In fact, they play a majority of rockabilly and Western swing styled music in their shows. Mostly, crowds cry out for Petunia originals though. The band members themselves are mostly from rockabilly/Western swing heritage.
Jimmy Roy is a veteran LAPSTEEL GUITAR player, with over 50 years of playing professionally behind him. (Formerly with Ray Condo, and on/off with Big Sandy)
Stephen Nikleva has been playing as a pro for over 40 years on ELECTRIC GUITARS. Warmly known as the 'Maestro' to those who know and have heard him play, (also former member of the Ray Condo band, aside from having a diverse background playing behind and forming the sound for 'official' stars such as Sarah McLachlan)
Marc L'Esperance - DRUMS & backing HARMONY VOCALS. From Jazz to Rockabilly to Folk to Blues, he's the fella with the groovy sticks and brushes that makes this band really swing.

Sam Shoichet - UPRIGHT slapped BASS (Also on/off bassist with Ray Condo)
Petunia - ACOUSTIC guitar, VOCALS & sometimes yodeler.
)

Tuesday March 9th, 6-8pm - HAPPY HOUR with Keeter Stuart Band  (country) $2

Thursday March 11th, 9:30pm-12:30am - Blue Moon Highway with Ron Rodgers (country)

Friday March 12th - Deke Dickerson with Chris Olson & His Hi-Flyers. (Deke's got a brand new CD, "KING OF THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!" This new CD will drop in the stores and be available on the web very soon. For now, Deke's been performing some of the new songs at his shows, including the HIT "Misshapen Hillbilly Gal", "Deep River","Bomb Shelter For My Heart", and the twin guitar instrumental "Double-Clutchin'" featuring Crazy Joe Tritschler!
JUST OUT
-- Deke has written not one, not two, but THREE giant new box set books for Bear Family Records. Two of the Box Sets are on MERLE HAGGARD, covering his Capitol Years from 1969 - 1976. Deke has written two books on Merle for these sets, over 250 pages of writing in all, and even got to interview Merle Haggard himself for over 5 hours! The third box set is on Merle's ex-wife and singer BONNIE OWENS, who had a long recording career on her own.

If you've got XM Radio, check out
THE THEME TIME RADIO HOUR in which Bob Dylan hosts an hour of his favorite music based on themes like "luck" and "laughter." Deke has been hired to not only supply guitar instrumental music for the interludes, but has also been interviewed for the show and can be heard giving at least one nugget of knowledge most every show. Deke and Bob Dylan-- who'd a thunk it? But Dylan is a diehard rockabilly fan, if you know anything about him, so it makes perfect sense.
DEKE THE JOURNALIST! Deke now has a bi-monthly column in Guitar Player magazine called "Deke the Guitar Geek." The latest issue (with Derek Trucks on the cover) has Deke's 2nd column, on the ultra-rare Stratosphere Guitar made in Springfield, MO in the 1950s.

Saturday March 20th - John Foyston Tribute

Sunday March 21st - Candye Kane ("Superhero" is the name of Candyes' original song and the title of her latest CD for Los Angeles based label, Delta Groove records. It is also an apt description of the jump blues singer and songwriter from East Los Angeles who has earned this moniker the hard way. Nominated for three 2010 National Blues Foundation Awards for BB King Entertainer of the Year, Best Blues Contemporary CD and Best Contemporary Blues Female (the highest honor for blues artists) and beating down pancreatic cancer in the last two years, Kane is one tough cookie. She has performed worldwide for presidents and movie stars but her path to success was not always glamorous or easy.
Raised in a dysfunctional, blue-collar family, Candye became a teenage mother, a pin-up cover girl and a punk rock, hillbilly and blues-belting anarchist by the time she was just 21 years old. Ten CDs, six record labels, millions of international road miles and countless awards later, Miss Kane has proven to be a true survivor as she scrambled her way to the top of the roots music heap, creating a world renowned reputation that has spanned two decades.
A colorful mixture of the traditional and the eclectic, Kane cut her musical teeth in the early '80s onstage with Hollywood musicians and friends Social Distortion, Dwight Yoakum, Dave Alvin, The Blasters, X, Fear, and Los Lobos, to name just a few. While raising two sons, this role model for the disenfranchised championed large-sized women, fought for the equal rights of sex workers and the GLBT community and inspired music lovers everywhere. Her fans are a mixture of true outsiders: bikers, blues fans, punk rockers, drag queens, fat girls, queers, burlesque dancers, porn fans, sex workers, rockabilly and swing dancers, grey-haired hippies, sex-positive feminists and everyday folk of all ages, flock to see Candye and hear her musical messages of love, hope and empowerment.
Kane's live shows are the stuff of legend. She honors the bold blues women of the past with both feet firmly planted in the present. She belts - growls - shouts - croons and moans from a lifetime of suffering and overcoming obstacles. She uses music as therapy and often writes and chooses material with positive affirmations that leave the audience feeling healed and exhilarated. A show that is part humor, revival meeting and sexuality celebration, she'll deliver a barrelhouse-tongue-in-cheek blues tune or a gospel ballad like Jesus and Mohammed, encouraging audiences to leave behind religious intolerance. She'll slay the crowd with her balls-out rendition of "Whole Lotta Love" or glorify the virtues of zaftig women with 200 pounds of fun. She often says she is a "fat black drag queen trapped in a white woman's body" and she dresses the part. Bedecked in bright-colored feathers, sequins and rhinestones, Kane's performance is Mississippi by way of Las Vegas with a quick stopover in San Francisco.)

Thursday April 29th, 6-8pm - HAPPY HOUR with Pete Krebs' Portland Playboys (Hailing from rainy Portland, Oregon, the Pete Krebs Trio can be found performing somewhere around town almost every night of the week-- clubs, pubs, restaurants, old man bars and gas stations-- playing their own music, a mix of hillbilly swing, gypsy jazz and tunes from the Great American Songbook. Led by guitarist and vocalist Pete Krebs, the Trio features Keith Brush on upright bass and David Langenes on guitar. Formed in 2006, the Trio has appeared nationally as well as internationally and has been featured on Oregon Public Broadcasting's 'Art Beat', KMHD's 'Home Grown Live' and both the Portland and Cathedral Park Jazz Festivals and the PDX Lindy Exchange. The band's sound is timeless, equal parts Texas roadhouse, Paris dive bar and New York's sonic landscape. A regional favorite of the northwest swing dance community, the Trio often find themselves shaking the shack for dancers and listeners alike. As they like to say, it's "music for your drinking, dining and dancing pleasure." C'mon out to a show and say howdy, we'd love to see you there!)
