Thursday ... too many great choices tonight! Part I

Between touring acts in town and locals, you won't go wrong whichever you choose ...

Three excellent shows coming through town tonight  ....
At the Aladdin it will be two fine vocalists - the eclectic Raul Malo, who is recognized by many as one of the best voices performing and recording anywhere ... and Seth Walker, whose smooth and gritty style is a little more blues based, but can also defy being narrowly genre-slotted (solid guitar player too!). Here's a recent NPR story on Malo.  Highly recommend this one ... 8 pm, $30

In Peter's Room at the Roseland Theater will be the fine blues guitar of Duke Robillard.  Considered one of the genre's best, he's also a excellent vocalist and songwriter ... another treat tonight for Portland ... 8 pm, $15

And the intimate, beautifully crafted tunes and lovely voice of  Edie Carey will grace the stage at the Alberta Rose Theatre ....And it's a double CD release show for Edie and singer/songwriter Beth Wood ... 7:30 pm, $15
