McMenamins Edgefield Amphitheater

Guitarist Tracy Kim is best known as one of Portland's foremost gypsy swing guitar enthusiasts and instructors. He is also well-known for his Latin stylings: bossanova, samba, and other Latin jazz forms. Come sip and enjoy!

Come groove to the velvety sound of musical duo Reb Conner and Leon Cotter. Reb and Leon are the Ma and Pa of Portland funk and world band "Reb and the Good News," and their stripped-down duo set retains all that jazzy fullness, scaled to an intimate atmosphere. Multi-instrumentalist Leon is a touring member of the California Honeydrops, and Reb is a singer/songwriter with roots in jazz, soul, and world music. Reb and Leon inspire the heart and nourish the soul, with their curated blend of love songs, jazz standards, and uplifting original work. With a mélange of keys, sax, clarinet, guitar, and lush vocal harmonies, these two take the audience on a sultry, good-time ride that will keep listeners vibing all evening long.

Portland jazz and cabaret vocalist Courtney Freed brings The Courtney Freed Five to Edgefield for a night of classic swing: Basie, Ellington, Ella and the dance-floor standards that fill Portland's Lindy nights. Called "effervescent" and "a whirlwind of excitement," she released her album Big Crazy Love this year. With Hamody Hindi on guitar, Bernardo Gomez on bass, Josh Gilbert on horns and Charles Pike on drums, this is a band built for dancing. Beginners welcome.

Galen Clark is a keyboardist and composer based out of Portland, OR. He leads the genre bending soul jazz group Trio Subtonic. (Ropeadope Records) Clark's music explores a range of rock, soul, funk, folk and jazz that simultaneously draws in listeners and pushes boundaries. His other projects include funk band Outer Orbit and the Rattlesnake Organ Trio. Galen performs regularly with Dan Balmer, Damian Erskine, Anna Tivel, Nathaniel Talbot, Todd Clouser, D'Vonne Lewis, Jimmy Russell & Tyrone Hendrix among others.

The Pete Krebs Trio is a string ensemble whose music evokes the early days of jazz, both American and European. Equal parts Nat King Cole Trio and Django Reinhardt, the PK3 draws from many musical traditions in creating the group's sound. From the wet cobblestones of Paris to the heat of Buenos Aires and the smoky brilliance of New York's jazz skyline, the Trio evokes an ambiance equally rooted in the past and the present.

Led by guitarist and singer Pete Krebs, the band features David Langenes on guitar and Keith Brush on upright bass. Pete has been busy member of Portland's musical community for 20 years, playing styles ranging from punk rock to old-time to classic jazz, and has shared the stage with everyone from Nirvana to The Holy Modal Rounders to Patrick Saussois. He is also an in-demand guitar teacher and session player. David Langenes is a jack-of-all-trades master guitarists whose skills and repetoire are rarely matched by mere mortals. Keith Brush on bass is the rock-steady heartbeat of many local musical legends, including the Blue Cranes and Bobby Torres. All three also play with Portland early jazz dynamos The Stolen Sweets, and have recently returned from Europe where the group played a fantastic series of concerts for the culturally-starved folks out that way. Ahem. The PK3 has released their self-titled first CD, which will features originals and the band's signature take on standards both old and new, and will feature guest artists from Portland?s musical aristocracy including Farnell Newton and Lou Chavez (not to mention a cameo by the Stolen Sweets girls!).
