Late August is perfect chance to catch up with one of the area’s most favorite touring blues bands, The 44s. They will be heading up from Southern California to perform three consecutive nights over August 28th thru the 30th.
The 44’s are a Los Angeles-based band who play blues-roots-rock music and are definitely one of the brightest rising stars on the American blues roots scene. Make no mistake about it. The raw rough and tough sounds generated by these four expert musicians during live performances and on their recordings demands to be heard by Blues music fans World Wide. A favorite band of club and festival crowds across North America, they evidence a genuine gift for creating blues in the moment while at the same time showing loyalty to a remarkable blues-and-r&b tradition that goes back decades through the James Harman Band and the Red Devils to storied greats like Howlin’ Wolf, Albert Collins, and Muddy Waters.
On Thursday, August 28th, The 44s will be in Birkenfeld, Oregon, playing a show at The Birk, 11139 Highway 202 for a 7:00 pm show.
On Friday, August 29th, they will head into Portland for a night at Duff’s Garage, 2530 NE 82nd for a 9:00 pm performance that is also a Cascade Blues Association co-sponsored event. Show your current membership card to receive a $1.00 discount at the door.
Then on Saturday, August 30th, make the trip out to Hood River for your last chance to see The 44s on this swing through the area. They will be appearing at The Double Mountain Brewery, 8 Fourth Street for an 8:00 pm show.
Catch them at one venue or another, maybe all three. The 44s are guaranteed to get you shakin’ with their incredible bluesy grooves.
