Portland Blues

Portland had a vibrant music scene in the 1970s and 1980s, especially the blues, personified by blues greats Paul deLay, Lloyd Jones, Curtis Salgado, and Norman Sylvester. Musical trends have come and gone, and sadly we lost Paul deLay in 2007, but the blues are still alive and kickin’ here. New voices like LaRhonda Steele, Ty Curtis, and Ben Rice, along with guitar virtuoso Mary Flower who moved to Portland in 2004, join Lloyd, Curtis, and Norman keeping the tradition alive.

The Waterfront Blues Festival has provided an essential showcase for Portland blues musicians since its inception as the Rose City Blues Festival in 1987, and KBOO has supported the community by live broadcasting every festival.

This program is a tribute to the greatest blues musicians from Portland’s classic blues era to the present, featuring some vintage Waterfront Blues Festival performances, backyard jams, rare collaborations, live concerts from the Alberta Rose Theater before a packed house and empty seats, a rare 1974 TV performance by Brown Sugar Blues Band featuring Paul deLay, Lloyd Jones, and Jim Mesi, some Paul deLay Band classics, and more.
