All Star Line-up Pay Tribute To Rockpile – March 5th

Rockpile was one of the premier British pub rock bands of the 1970s. With bassist and guitarist Nick Lowe, guitarist Dave Edmunds, drummer Terry Williams, who became a member of Dire Straits, and guitarist Billy Bremners, who would later join The Pretenders, their music has taken on a cult status and their updated takes on artists such as Joe Tex, Chuck Berry, and Gene Chandler has inspired countless musicians from a variety of genres.

For the second year, a gathering of many of Portland’s finest musicians from different musical styles will return to Duff’s Garage on Saturday, March 5 to showcase Rockpile’s catalogue. Those artists include Albert Reda, Erin Wallace, Joe Chiusano, Ken Coleman, Jon Beyer, Dennis Mitchell, Bob Love, Claes Almroth, and Steve Wilkinson. They plan on presenting thirty Rockpile numbers, including their classic album, Seconds Of Pleasure, in its entirety.

Show time for this exciting show will be 9:00 pm. Duff’s Garage is located at 2530 NE 82nd. This is a Cascade Blues Association co-sponsored event so remember to show your current membership card at the door to receive a $1.00 discount on admission.
