 Fri 5/18 Big Sam's Funky Nation

Big Sam's Funky Nation
is a driving force of urban funk.
Ryan White, of the Oregonian, says the band is tight enough
(and hot enough) to turn coal into a diamond!
The band is led by trombone powerhouse, Big Sam Williams,
formerly the trombonist for the Dirty Dozen Brass Band,
who the San Francisco Chronicle calls
the top man on the slide trombone in the birthplace of jazz.
Big Sam refuses to let the audience sit still. Between the band's solos,
Big Sam's signature dance moves and his distinctive trombone riffs,
the energy level is high voltage when this band takes the stage!

Sat 5/19 The Rainmakers 
are back for Round 2
 
 Rain
The Rainmakers return after 14 years with a true return to form:  
traditional rock n'roll about all the non-traditional subjects    
politics, turpentine, religion, friendship, delivering newspapers,
dying, dogs, driving in the snow,
going down swinging, and one about girls.   Sense of humor intact,
and sense of heartbreak within reach, the Rainmakers deliver it all
with meat-and-beer guitars and drums.  
And a little piano.  This is real, this is fun.  Real fun.  
Original members Bob Walkenhorst, Pat Tomek, and Rich Ruth
are joined by Jeff Porter on guitar and piano.
