Back to Rose City Food Park This Friday

I’m back again this Friday evening, July 13, at Rose City Food Park from 6-8pm.  Great evening to bring the family, date night, whatever it may be.  Wonderful vendors and some outstanding food.

I’ll play my take on lots of cover tunes from 50s-60s-70s, add a few originals just to spice it up.  I would love to see some familiar faces and a few new ones.  Please join me this Friday evening.

Rose City Food Park is located at 5235 NE Sandy Blvd., Portland, 97213

GoFundMe “You’re So Much Fun” – The Song

This is a dream.

I’ve been playing in a band called HomeBrew for 4 years. Technically, we’re a hobby band made up of medical personnel. A few doctors and medical assistants. I am not a medical person. We play vintage R&B, Swing and Rock. We are a 10 piece band with horns.

October of 2017, our band played for a medical fundraiser that was called, “Battle of the Doctor Bands.” Each band must have at least one doctor in it. There were three bands and 3 judges. The judges were radio personality, Dave Scott, pianist, Michael Allen Harrison, and the drummer for Steppenwolf, Ron Hurst

All the judges were very supportive of our band.  Michael Allen Harrison, though, made special reference to my original in our 4 song set, even quoting some of the lyrics in his feedback.

After the event, I went to thank the judges for coming and being supportive of local music. Michael made it a point to tell me that my song needed to be recorded and sent to all kinds of music publishing and record companies because as he stated to me, “It needs to be in a movie….even if you’re not performing it, it needs to be recorded.”

Since then I have contacted a long-time friend who has worked with top musicians from Everclear to Sheryl Crow, to be our sound engineer and producer.  He has agreed to help produce, “You’re So Much Fun,” which is an R&B/Pop, feel good love song.

If you wish to donate, here’s the GoFundMe link.

Thanks for your continued support.

Saturday at Rose City Food Park

I’m back at Rose City Food Park this Saturday afternoon from 3-4:30pm, as one of the featured musician’s for their Mini Brew Fest.   The weather for Saturday looks hot, which means, cold brews and live music wait for you.  I’ll be jamming cover tunes from Hall & Oates, America, Billy Joel, Elton John, Elvis and some of my own stuff.

Sit a spell and cool down this Saturday afternoon.

Buy Music and Support Immigrants and Basic Human Rights

This Friday, February 3, for any purchase made on Bandcamp, they will donate 100% of their share of the proceeds to the American Civil Liberties Union, who are working to oppose last week’s Executive Order barring immigrants and refugees from seven Middle Eastern countries from entering the United States.  

The picture I am holding in the photograph below is of my grandfather, who had dual citizenship. Born in Minnesota but raised in Denmark, he  came to live in America circa 1913. Was a WW1 Veteran and eventually settled in Clinton, Iowa owning a small grocery store.  I dedicated my 2012 album, “In Those Days,” in part, to my grandfather.

Also, visit other artists and support them while supporting Bandcamp’s mission to help raise funds for immigrants and basic human rights.
