One member of this rat pack, Pete Jorgusen, is battling leukemia. Pete is well known and liked in the Portland music scene. He’s an excellent drummer, with a style that resembles Charlie Watts and Ringo Starr, never flashy or showy, but always on the mark with a steady backbeat rhythm. So, his buddies have decided to come together to play a show to benefit their friend.
The benefit is set for Sunday, July 19, at Duff's Garage in Portland. Musicians to perform include Lenny Rancher, Jon DuFresne and Dave Stricker (Unreal Gods), Houston Bolles, Steve Hettum, Dave Diaz, Eugenio (Church of Surf,) Michael Kearsey and many, many others. The list is getting longer as the days pass. There will also be videos of The Malchick’s Reunion at La Bamba, The Flesh and Blood gig at the Oregon State Penitentiary, and The Two Louie's softball game (with many Portland musicians) provided by David Jester of Pro-Video. The doors will open at 5 p.m. We encourage everybody to come early and enjoy an hour of socializing and drinks and having dinner. Duff's has a full service bar and good eats and a very lively music scene.
The music will start at 6 p.m. with our version of Songwriters in the Round including performances by Lenny Rancher, Jon DuFresne, Houston Bolles, and Steve Hettum. Band performances will follow with a host of musicians, plus videos provided by Pro Video. There will be memorabilia and CD's for sale, all to benefit our friend Pete. The party will continue until it's over. The cover charge is to benefit Pete, as well as any contributions people wish to donate who for some reason are unable to attend. Make checks payable to Pete Jorgusen.
