Something To Talk About: A Portland Bonnie Raitt Tribute – Oct 10th

When it comes to influential musicians over the past fifty years who have crossed genres between blues and rock, Bonnie Raitt is one who definitely stands out. It seems almost impossible to believe that she has been around the scene for so many years as she comes across as eternally youthful, but since the early 1970s she has been a major force as a more than exceptional guitarist, songwriter, vocalist and performer. And her fan-base is world-wide, with Portland being no exception as demonstrated by the gathering of musicians who will be paying tribute to Raitt and her music at The Alberta Rose Theatre on Saturday, October 10.

The group of artists for this special night, like Raitt herself, cross genres, and this is no lightweight line-up. Some of the finest Portland has to offer are taking part: Anne Weiss, Lisa Mann, Mary Flower, David Jacobs-Strain, Bre Gregg, Shelly Rudolph, Ara Lee, Rich Landar, Dan Stueber and Mark Bowden will all be on hand in recognition of the Queen of the Bottleneck Blues. All Bonnie Raitt songs, all night!

The Alberta Rose Theatre is located at 3000 NE Alberta Street, show time is 8:00 pm. Minors are okay when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Tickets are $15.00 advance at albertarosetheatre.com and $18.00 at the door
