Twas the weekend before Christmas and all through Portland, folks were headed out to great live music!
Consider these for Friday ...
The fabulous bassist/vocalist Kate Davis has a two night run (2 shows per night) at Wilf's. Now all of 19, Kate has a voice and jazz chops well beyond her years. Back for the holidays from her studies in NYC (Manhattan School of Music - here's a listen to the school's jazz quintet that Kate is part of), she'll be playing with her fine trio. There's be some holiday tunes in the mix (Kate recently released a holiday CD) .... shows tonight and tomorrow at 6 and 8 pm - $10 cover and $15 food/drink minimum.
K.M.R.I.A. concludes its two-night run at the Secret Society ... and I found out this is the last time to catch them for quite a while, as there will be no St. Pat's shows this year due to touring commitments from the various band members ... 9 pm, $12
The Stolen Sweets bring their sweet retro/modern jazz vocals to the Alberta Rose Theatre. Flamenco duo Cuadro Picadueña opens ... 8 pm, $15
Austin's Rosie Flores (the Queen of Rockabilly) brings her Christmasville show to Duff's Garage tonight ... Lisa & Her Kin will open for their good friend Rosie .... 9 pm, $10
Blues Fridays at Vino Vixens tonight features the fine songwriting of Billy D ... 8 pm, $5
Fernando will be at the Laurlethirst - great to see him out playing more gigs these days - one of Portland's best songwriters and compelling performers. Drunken Prayer opens ... 9:30 pm, $7
KINK throws a holiday blues bash at the Roseland tonight with some of the hottest locals - the Ty Curtis Band, Kevin Selfe and the Tornadoes, Lisa Mann, and The Insomniacs ... too much fun! This is also a benefit for the Sunshine Division, so also bring a contribution of canned food ... 7 pm, $12
Ron Rogers and Dave Grafe will be at Eugenio's (SE 36th & Division) ... 7 pm, no cover
It will be all about the groove tonight at Jimmy Mak's with Trio Subtonic and Philly's Phunkestra laying it down jazzy, funky and soulful ... 8 pm, $10

Fernando had to cancel for tonight. Drunken Prayer will play a free show at The Laurelthirst instead.
