Blues Legend Bobby Rush To Make His Only Oregon Appearance At The Birk-July 16th

When thinking of Bobby Rush, perhaps American Blues Scene puts it best: Rush is “…the man known as ‘The King of the Chitlin Circuit’… a man who deserves being mentioned in the same context as the blues greats Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, and B.B. King.”

Yes, Bobby Rush cut his teeth amongst the greats on the Chicago blues scene in the early 1960s, performing alongside people like Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, and Little Walter. He has since been a staple on the blues circuit, offering his deep Southern soul-blues revue that has been recognized by Grammy Award nominations, forty-one Blues Music Awards nominations (with ten wins), including 2015 honors as the Soul Blues Artist and the coveted BB King Entertainer of the Year, and induction into The Blues Hall of Fame.

It is pretty rare to find Bobby Rush in the Pacific Northwest in anything other than a festival setting. It is even more unlikely that you would’ve imagined him performing in a remote venue as The Birk. But on Thursday, July 16, Bobby Rush will be bringing all the grit, grind, and soul that has been his trademark since the 1960s to The Birk for a special dinner show starting at 7:00 pm (doors open at 5:30 pm). Tickets are available in advance through www.TicketTomato.com for $25.00 general admission. Ticket price at the door day of show will be $30.00. The Birk is located at 11139 Highway 202 in Birkenfeld. This is Bobby Rush’s only Oregon appearance, so don’t miss it.
