9:30pm - We'll wrap it up and combine all the musicians with a couple jam-style tunes.
CDs will be available from the respective bands, including The Svens' "Doc" CD, and my own semi-acoustic-folksy-blues collection of new songs entitled "Letters To Myself"
Hope to see you there!

Caught in the Act at Corvallis Red, White and Blues Riverfront Festival
Playing (trumpet/flugel - maybe a little sax too) with Caught in the Act. Been sitting in with these guys for a while now. A terrific band and a super group of guys. You'll hear some classics (like "Still Diggin' on James Brown") as well as some originals that sound like classics!
Caught in the Act plays from 4:30 to 6:30 - two full sets. Looking forward to hearing the other bands too.
It's a lovely way to spend the day.
