Piano Great Teresa James and Rich Layton & The Troublemakers Team For One Night At The Lehrer May 15th

Teresa James may live in Los Angeles these days, but you can never take that pounding Texas boogie piano from her heart. Flat out one of the finest blues piano players going these days, James light up a room with her driving keyboard energy. James has a handful of CDs to her credit and has worked with various artists including greats like Delbert McClinton, Tommy Castro, Marcia Ball and Levon Helm. Her band The Rhythm Tramps boasts some of the most talented musicians in Southern California whose credentials list many of the most popular artists of today.

Teresa James will be returning to the Portland area on Friday, May 15 for a special double header show with Rich Layton & The Troublemakers at The Lehrer, 8775 SW Canyon Lane. Rich Layton and his band are one of the city’s finest roots blues rockers, with their music strongly steeped in the waters of the Gulf Coast, nicely blended with the Pacific Northwest feel. Showtime for this event is 8:00 pm. Admission is $10.00. This is a Cascade Blues Association co-sponsored event, so bring your membership card for a $1.00 discount on entry at the door.
