British Blues Legend John Mayall At The Aladdin-July 15th

Over fifty years ago John Mayall was one of the forefathers of the British blues scene that emerged from England’s working class streets and was popularized by British bands such as Alexis Korner’s Blues Incorporated. Mayall’s group, The Bluesbreakers, were ground shaking, deep-in-the-pocket bluesers that ignited the careers of many future rock & roll stars such as Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor, Harvey Mandel, and Peter Green. Now at 81 years of age and over 60 albums to his credit, John Mayall continues to work hard on stages around the world at venues and festivals, still bringing that classic blues sound to the masses and displaying his own skills at songwriting, singing, guitar playing, harmonica, and keyboards.

John Mayall has long been a Portland area favorite and will be returning to town at the Aladdin Theater on Wednesday, July 15 for a 8:00 pm show. Tickets are $30 advance and day of show, and can be purchased through www.TicketFly.com. This event is open to all ages, minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
