Second Season Concert Series Set To Commence – February 1st

Second Season Productions (SSP) is proud to announce the launch of their concert series on Sunday, February 1, 2015 featuring a trio of Portland’s favorite acts to get the project started. The brain child of Ellen Whyte and her partner in this series Craig Howard, she states, “it takes an audience to raise a musician.”  The goal of SSP is to connect accomplished musicians with new audiences in a family friendly environment.

The Second Season Concert Series will take place at The Alberta Rose Theater, 3000 NE Alberta Street. The opening showcase will feature sets from world-renowned fingerstyle and lap guitar master Mary Flower; three-time entry level Grammy nominee Ellen Whyte with her trio including pianist Jean-Pierre Garau and bassist Gene Houck; and Oregon Music Hall of Fame member and Cascade Blues Association Lifetime Achievement recipient the Norman Sylvester Band.

Tickets are available on line at www.albertarosetheatre.com, with discounts for AARP and Cascade Blues Association members (use the code when asked online, “Members”. These shows will all take place on Sunday afternoons with three acts from 4:00 til 7:00 pm, so they will be time friendly for all. Admission is only $15.00, or $12.00 in advance, $10.00 for children (with parent or guardian).

As Craig Howard adds:  “We have some of the finest musicians in the land, right here in Oregon.  And you can’t beat this lineup, the location, the time of day, and the price.  Come out and join the celebration!”
