Earl Thomas - photo by Greg JohnsonPortland’s own piano master, Dave Fleschner, has composed, written, and arranged his own two-set musical The Blues Cabaret, which has been presented at various venues along the West Coast. Now the show is being released on CD and to celebrate a special performance of The Blues Cabaret will be held at the Alberta Rose Theatre on Saturday, November 7 at 8:00 pm.

Once again joining Fleschner for this performance will be Grammy-nominated blues vocalist Earl Thomas and Portland Gay Men’s Choir soloists Billy Mixer and Jimmy Wilcox, all who appear on the album, too.

The Blues Cabaret is a dynamic new song cycle about a wistful musician who finally walks the road not taken years earlier. It’s a heart-rending, knee-slapping ride through love lost, gained, and squandered, told through thirteen-plus songs, four soulful singers and swinging band.
