Featuring Alan Hager, Bill Athens and Edwin Coleman III

Dave Fleschner is currently on tour with blues legend Tommy Castro and the Painkillers, which makes Portland shows a rare occasion these days. On May 21, he’s home for one night at Hōkū Events — two sets of American roots music with an all-star lineup.

You might know Alan Hager — the reigning Cascade Blues Association Muddy Award winner for Electric Guitar — as the longtime guitarist with Curtis Salgado. But before Alan hit the road with Curtis, he and Dave had a duo residency at O’Connor’s Vault, where they recorded The Hager Fleschner Duo – Live From The Vault (available at davefleschner.com). Alan also appears on Dave’s The Blues Cabaret. This show is a rare chance to hear that partnership back in action.

Joining the fun on Bass is Bill Athens. Long time performing and recording collaborator with Dave, you have also heard Bill playing either upright or electric with Sleater-Kinney, 3 Leg Torso, Trio Subtonic, the Rose City Chamber Orchestra, the Tacoma Symphony, Seamus Blake, Dave Pietro, Bel Canto Northwest, Dan Balmer, Mel Brown, George Colligan, Nancy King, Tom Grant and many more.

Anchoring the whole thing is Edwin Coleman III, this year’s CBA Muddy Award winner for Drummer of The Year and a longtime cornerstone of Portland’s best bandleaders — equally at home in a Hammond jazz trio, a blues revue, or a soul band.

The setlist will move through selections from the recent vinyl release The Dave Fleschner Trio – Deep Cuts, along with material from The Blues Cabaret and Live From The Vault, plus a handful of vintage blues classics and Bob Dylan favorites.

Advance tickets $20, HERE, $25 day of show.

KC Craine and Tin Compass return to Hoku Events for a special album release concert celebrating their new album, “It’s Not The Destination.”

This will be a special evening of new, all-original music from Portland songwriter, guitarist and producer KC Craine. A distinctive songwriting force in the Portland music scene, KC brings heartfelt storytelling and soulful melodies to songs rooted in the Pacific Northwest and shaped by folk, country, Zydeco and soul.

Tin Compass is difficult to put in a box. Accordion, violin, mandolin, bass, percussion and harmony vocals create a rich and unexpected sound that moves well beyond the usual folk and Americana formula. The result is soulful, distinctive and refreshingly original music with a warm, organic groove.

Come experience KC Craine and Tin Compass.

Too Loose Cajun/Zydeco Band

If you’ve never heard French Louisiana-style dance hall music, you’re in for a real treat. And if you have, welcome back y’all!

For more than twenty years, the Portland-based Too LooseCajun/Zydeco Band has been playing their infectious brand of dance music from Southwestern Louisiana — at festivals large and small, parties, street fairs, and weddings throughout the Pacific Northwest. Take a great electric band, add two fiddles, an accordion, and a traditional rub-board, and you have an irresistible sound: happy, exciting, and exceptionally rhythmic. You won’t be able to sit still, guaranteed.

Their repertoire includes Cajun, Zydeco, and New Orleans-influenced music, with male and female vocals (and harmonies), and lyrics sung in English and Cajun French. For you dancers, there are two-steps, a few waltzes, and a surprise or two.

So come on down (and bring your dancin' shoes).
