Ramblin’ Jack Elliott is an American icon. A folk music legend who has been nominated for five Grammy Awards, including a win for Best Traditional Blues Album in 2009 for the disc A Stranger Here. With six decades of performing he has quite a lengthy and noted resume. In his early years he worked the roads as a troubadour alongside his buddy Woody Guthrie and became a huge inspiration for future musicians including Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, Ry Cooder, Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash, Tom Waits and just about anybody who has picked up a guitar to play folk and roots music.

Ramblin’ Jack Elliott will be performing in Portland once again presenting his “The Seeds & The Stories Tour” at the Alhambra Theatre, 4811 SE Hawthorne Avenue, for an 8:30 pm show on Saturday, May 24th. Admission is $20.00 and available at Ticketfly.com. This is a 21 & over only show. Opening the evening will be Nell Robinson, who has been called “one of the freshest voices in Roots music.”
