Gadan is a storming new band blending the drive of Irish trad and bluegrass with the soul of Celtic and Appalachian roots music – all spiced with unmistakable Italian flair! Founded by Lorenzo Testa and Jacopo Ventura – two renowned Italian musicians from the Irish and European folk scene – the project quickly evolved with the addition of Joan Gatti, an outstanding young fiddle virtuoso bringing a fresh and contemporary sound to the band’s identity. In 2024, Gadan expanded its international lineup by joining forces with Enda Scahill, world-renowned tenor banjo player and founder of We Banjo 3, and Eric Long, acclaimed Appalachian songwriter, singer and clawhammer banjoist from San Francisco. With no less than three outrageous banjos, plus fiddle, mandolin and guitar, Gadan delivers a powerful strings-only sound that bridges Irish tradition and contemporary roots music. Their electrifying live performances combine precision, groove and storytelling, proving that you don’t need drums to make a crowd dance.

Ottmar Liebert and Luna Negra
Ottmar Liebert’s global success can be attributed to a myriad of things – his creative vision, his determination, and a strong sense of melody. Born in Cologne, Germany, he began playing guitar at 11. Before the age of 19, Liebert had intended to stay in Germany and pursue a career as a designer and photographer. However, while journeying extensively through Asia and playing with other travelers and local musicians, he realised that he could not escape a life of music. After pursuing his dreams of playing rock music in Boston, he settled in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Santa Fe was a fresh start for Liebert in many ways and in addition to returning to the acoustic guitar, he remained open to letting the place define the music he made. It was this openness to the local landscape that defined what was to become his musical style, a mix of Spanish, Mexican and World elements, strong melodies tinged with a shade of melancholy, balanced with upbeat rhythms. Liebert founded the first incarnation of his band, Luna Negra, in 1989. His debut album began as a self-produced release called Marita: Shadows and Storms, copies of which local Native American artist, Frank Howell, distributed in his art galleries. After the record made its way to radio stations, it began generating a buzz among programmers and received unprecedented response among listeners. Higher Octave Music picked it up and released a fully remastered version, Nouveau Flamenco. Recorded for less than $3,000 on an old analog machine in a shack beside a gravel pit, this CD became an international sensation, establishing Liebert’s unique border-style flamenco, and becoming the best-selling instrumental acoustic guitar album of all time.

Sonny Landreth with special guest Tony Furtado presented by PDX Jazz
Fourteen albums, two Grammy nominations, nearly a dozen major awards and more than four decades into a career like no other, Sonny Landreth is an artist who’s found a different way to play guitar and then some. Music journalists have called the singer/songwriter/bandleader/slide guitar virtuoso everything from “an innovator on the order of Eddie Van Halen” (All About Jazz) to “one of the finest guitarists America has ever produced” (Rock & Blues Muse), while artists including John Hiatt, Mark Knopfler, Bonnie Raitt and Eric Clapton –who’s famously said, “Sonny Landreth is probably the most underestimated musician on the planet, and also one of the most advanced” –consider him an invaluable colleague, collaborator and bonafide guitar hero. For the Lafayette, LA native, it’s a journey of remarkable musicianship that began with his first guitar at age 12. By his 20’s he was sitting in with local Creole and Cajun musicians and would soon become the first white member of Clifton Chenier’s legendary Red Hot Louisiana Band. “Being raised in a community where music is such a huge part of the culture,” Landreth explains, “loving Robert Johnson and Duane Allman as much as Mozart, I just absorbed every one of those influences and somehow crystallized it into my own style.” Through it all, Landreth has discovered his music being embraced by fans of blues, rock, jazz, zydeco, country, Americana, world music and more. “Not being pinned down to any one genre can be a blessing and a curse,” he laughs. “But I was always comfortable playing different styles because slide guitar can speak to any audience.” And as anyone who’s witnessed him as the opening performer for an unprecedented seven of Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festivals can attest, Landreth’s slide wizardry is a consistent highlight of the world’s most famous six-string summit. For Landreth, the future is an open road with the top down and the radio turned up. He’s currently recording a new album and maintaining a busy touring schedule. “I still believe that music can possess the same magic that we all felt when we were kids,” Landreth says. “You want it to feel personal and be inspiring. Whenever my music communicates or resonates with people, it’s a great affirmation.” Portland musician extraordinaire Tony Furtado opens the show. Minors ok when accompanied by a parent or guardian.
