David Wilcox with special guest Jean Rohe
David Wilcox is a revered folk musician with an effortless talent for spinning lyrics that quietly cut deep, crafting melodies that seamlessly ride the plot twists and turns. He observes the human condition from both the nerve center and the outside looking in. That kind of storytelling is certain to become a good friend. “For any singer-songwriter to be able to muster passion, hope and grace after 15 years in the unsung folk genre is an accomplishment, and as such, David Wilcox is infinitely accomplished.” — Paste Magazine “Factor in a strong acoustic guitar technique that eschews simplistic strumming in favor of expressive finger-picking, and a pleasant voice that sounds like a more insistent, fuller bodied James Taylor, and you have a solid solo-acoustic performer who will make his way even if he doesn’t serve ear candy.” — Los Angeles Times“The concert was an incredibly cleansing experience. Songs with passionate, beautiful lyrics sung in a soulful voice, backed by crisp acoustic guitar arrangements that took me on an emotional roller-coaster ride (I know, kind of sounds like a wine steward describing a fine Burgundy, right?)” — Kevin Nealon in Spin MagazineThe fabled singer-songwriter returns to the Alberta Rose, once again supported by the wonderful Jean Rohe.

Red Bird + The Colin Trio Music Release Party
Double Release! Red Bird releases an album, The Colin Trio releases a single. What do Red Bird and The Colin Trio have in common? They are both female-fronted groups that can’t be pinned down. Their original music dances in and out of soul, jazz, funk, Americana, rock, roots and the blues. They are packed with musical talent nurtured by years of experience and a deep passion for the craft. And we will say it, both groups are fun as hell! Join us for this very special night where both bands are releasing new music – Red Bird releasing a new album and The Colin Trio releasing a new single. This show is part of Portland Music Month and $1 from your ticket purchase goes directly to Music Portland to support their work in the community.$15 GA Advance$19 GA At the Door$25 Admission + signed Red Bird CD$32 Admission + signed Red Bird CD and signed Colin Trio lyric sheet ~More About Red Bird~ Red Bird is a wildly soulful band that communicates through powerhouse vocals and mind-bending guitar features. Their sound has been described as “unabashedly soulful with elements of blues and roots” by Vortex Magazine, and Good Day Oregon compares them to an impressive list of artists including Bonnie Raitt and Joss Stone. Their new album, Live It All, is their first full-length album, which they made with the help of engineer Justin Phelps (Cake, The Mars Volta) and The Hallowed Halls in Portland, Oregon. The album features the keys work of Steve Swatkins (Allen Stone, Excellent Gentleman and Steve Swatkins and the Positive Agenda) and Sydney Nash (TK & The Holy Know-Nothings) giving the band’s sound a fresh new life they are excited to release into the world. ~More About The Colin Trio~ Less of a trio and more of a triple-headed hydra roving through an alluring array of genre-blending styles, The Colin Trio is anything but typical. Named after lead singer, guitarist, pianist, Colin Hogan, listeners would be hard-pressed to name any specific member of the trio as lead. Whether it’s Colin’s knack for slipping in and out of musical eras, or bassist Brian Link’s adeptness with any groove, or drummer Cheo Larcombe’s ability to start at the flick of a match. Watching The Colin Trio perform live is akin to three improvisational masters besting one another at every turn between a cavalcade of rock, soul, jazz, funk and the blues.Working with producer Tim Karplus, their upcoming single, Breakable explores new sounds and a different approach to building a song. PORTLAND MUSIC MONTH – This Venue is proud to participate in the 2023 2nd Annual Portland Music Month. Your purchase includes a donation to MusicOregon’s Echo Fund, which provides creative project grants for local independent musicians.

Judy Blue Eyes – CSN Tribute featuring members of The Nowhere Band with CSN guitarist Jeff Pevar
Portland’s finest musicians perform the songs of Crosby, Stills & Nash with CSN guitarist Jeff Pevar! Featuring members of Nowhere Band, Decemberists, Saloon Ensemble, Love Gigantic and more! How often do you get to see / hear the music of Crosby, Stills, Nash (& Young) live? Judy Blue Eyes is a brand-new project birthed during the lock-down. Says singer John Averill “I’ve always felt that the music of CSN – in particular the vocal harmonies – have held some kind of mystical quality for me. About 6 years ago I had the idea of diving into CSN material and dissecting the harmony parts and perform it live, but there was never the time do devote to it.” Enter 2020, when all live music stopped. Feeling the acute void of singing with other people, Averill (along with fellow Nowhere Band-mates Sarah King and Jason Wells on vocals, and David Langenes on guitar and vocals) met casually in Averill’s backyard. “After less than a dozen rehearsals scattered over a year, we realized we had learned 12 tunes. Since then we’ve begun diving into Neil Young material for a longer show.” In July of 2021 word of Judy Blue Eyes leaked out and the yet-not-completely-formed band was offered a private gig, and other members were brought in fulfill the sound. “In terms of lead guitar, the most unexpected thing happened when I was contacted by Jeff Pevar (Ray Charles, David Crosby, Joe Cocker, James Taylor, etc.). He lives in Ashland and actually plays lead guitar with CSN!, so the fact that he was available and interested blew my mind.” Rounding out the band is a stellar cast of Portland-based musicians, featuring Jenny Conlee (Decemberists) on keys, Ned Failing (Mexican Gunfight) on drums, Greg Hyatt (Berthaline) on bass. For fans of CSN&Y, and for those who have witnessed the vocal harmony prowess of the Nowhere Band’s Beatles (White Album Xmas, etc) shows, this is a must see/hear evening. The show will feature familiar CSN&Y favorites, as well as deep cuts for the die-hard fan. $35 General Admission $45 GA At the Door $55 Preferred Seating (seating in the first 7 rows of the center section) Minors ok when accompanied by a parent or guardian.
