Seeking Volunteer to Help Deliver BluesNotes

Attention: open in a new window.

Due to the departure of long-time volunteers and several venues that have opened in the recent past, the CBA is seeking somebody who may be able to help deliver BluesNotes in the SE Portland area. The route would include venues Queen of Hearts, Knuckleheads, Mama Maria’s, Gators and Vino Vixens, plus any other spot you may want to approach about displaying the paper. Preferably we would like to have the papers delivered before the first of each month and that would mean picking up the papers from our cabinets located at our office in Tigard (we can give directions and the papers are available 24 hours a day). Or they can be brought to the CBA monthly meeting and picked up from there, though sometimes the meetings occur a week into the month, which means word of several shows may be missed. If you’re interested in helping, please send an e-mail to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . It doesn’t stop there; we can always use other volunteers for various needs. Thank you.

Might I Suggest

The Satin Chaps

Self-Produced

Okay, before anybody jumps on me and says that this is not really a blues album, lighten up. I hear a lot of influences from the likes of Booker T & The MGs or The Bar-Kays behind Portland’s The Satin Chaps on this debut release, Might I Suggest. And to me, that funky soulful Memphis sound with a bit of a hint of the classic Northwest garage bands certainly can be considered blues in its own right. And if you don’t think so, you have to admit you enjoy it for its dancability and groove.

Of course, The Satin Chaps are also not made up of your normal blues musicians either. Fronted by the trio of drummer Luke Strahota of The High Violets, keyboardist Peter Dean of Fast Computers and bassist Eric Hedford of The Dandy Warhols, The Satin Chaps present an old ‘60s instrumental soul approach to modern dance numbers. Rounding out the group are Colin Sheridan on guitar, Jon Clark on sax, Kyle Haverly on trombone and Pat Norris on trumpet. All of the ten tracks on the disc are original compositions by the band.

It’s funky. It’s soulful. It has a ton of groove. And it’s just plain fun. Give Might I Suggest a listen; these infectious instrumentals will definitely make you feel good
