David Vest Band
Waterfront Blues Festival
Portland, OR.
July 2, 2016

I'm in the process of moving after 36 years in the same house an am not going to be able to record as much this year. I'll try to get all the major acts and some favorites I've had over the years. Again, KBOO FM is broadcasting the show live. KBOO is an all volunteer station. They started last year breaking in at odd times to let listeners know what stations are broadcasting. Weird. All proceeds from the festival go to the Oregon Food Bank so please donate if you can. They also have a live stream on the internet. It's an MP3 stream. My set up is an old Technics Quartz Tuner> H2 Zoom> SD card> computer> TLH.


David Vest has been rockin� and shoutin� the blues since 1957. A three-time winner of the Maple Blues Award for Piano Player of the Year, he is also currently a Blues Artist of the Year nominee in Canada.

His 2014 release, Roadhouse Revelation, spent weeks in the #1 spot on the Roots Music Report chart for Canada and reached #12 on the USA blues album chart, earning a four-star rating from Downbeat. His latest album, Devestatin� Rhythm, is already winning rave reviews.

Widely regarded as one of the last of the great boogie-woogie piano players, Vest called Portland home in the early 2000s and was co-leader of the Paul deLay Band, winning a number of Muddy Awards, including best keyboard player.
