Portland and Eugene

This week I'm heading back down Oregon way for a couple of shows with the expanded version of my band, including the horn section. Working without a net is always fun, but this is way better.

Friday night (Jan. 22) it's a return engagement at Duff's Garage in Portland. We've worked up a bunch of new songs and we'll be pulling out all the stops, with emphasis on Texas blues and Gulf Coast boogie woogie, plus some soulful homage to Sun Ra. It's also an Aquarius Birthday Party night, with all the trimmings. Better bring those dancing shoes!

Saturday night (Jan 23) I'll be making my first appearance in Eugene since the last time I was there with Paul deLay, some years back. The whole high-class sympathy Arkestra will be making the trip with me down to Mac's at the Vets.

Starting at 9:30 pm on both nights, we're gonna party like it's 1959!
