Eric Lindell
Waterfront Blues Festival
Portland, OR.
July 5, 2008

Recorded from KBOO FM. An all volunteer radio station in Portland. FM>HD>FLAC>Dime or at times FM>H2 ZOOM>HD>FLAC>Dime. As always there are some bumps in the road, but nothing that would stop me from down loading these shows. I've tried to fix all the drops and pauses in the music. Enjoy the festival, twofthrs

WOW. Very refreshing. One of the best acts of the festival, IMHO, twofthrs

Eric Lindell is a natural. With impressive guitar chops, a worn, smoldering voice and a rocking rhythmic sensibility, his jam-friendly style converts blues purists and dyed in the wool R&B fans as well as the tattooed and pierced crowd. His voice recalls Stax and Motown-era soul, with a laid back, hipster charisma. Eric Lindell is poised for a breakout. He has turned heads everywhere he's gone, almost instantly becoming the talk of the town wherever his musical journey has taken him. - AN HONEST TUNE

Born in 1969, Lindell is an “old soul” from California reinventing New Orleans R&B. He has a cool, genuine old school aura that is both natural and refreshing. Eric does his own thing in his own way and at his own pace. His melodic sensibility and fresh approach are most impressive. - OFFBEAT

California-born, New Orleans-schooled musician Eric Lindell released his Alligator debut in 2006. A roots rocker with dozens of original songs that combine soul shaking rhythm & blues, reggae grooves, swamp pop and blues, Lindell is a fan favorite in his northern California turf and his adopted home of New Orleans (where he was featured on the cover of "OffBeat" magazine and performed on the main stage at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival). Lindell is accomplished on guitar, harmonica, keyboards and bass. He has performed with some of the Crescent City's top musicians as well as some of the jam band community's biggest names (including members of Galactic). The winner of the "1999 John Lennon Songwriting Competition" for his song "Kelly Ann," Lindell is now ready to bring his rough-hewn voice and memorable original songs to the rest of the music-loving world.
