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

This year's Northwest Women R&B show takes the stage on Sunday, July 6th, at 1:30 pm. Sonny Hess has created a musical tossed salad. The mixed greens, your foundation, consists of our own Muddy Award winner Lisa Mann on bass and vocals, soon releasing her second CD. Kelly Pierce, affectionately nick named, ‘sugar beat,’ on drums, a 15-year veteran of the Sonny Hess band. Tracy Ferrara, formerly of Swamp Mama Johnson, on tenor saxophone.

A special ingredient, let’s add three-time winner of the Washington Blues Association Best Female Vocalist—Seattle based, LJ Porter, originally for New Orleans, received national airplay with her latest CD.

Add a bit of spice with b>Margaret Wilder, keyboards and vocals from Bellingham, Wa. Her natural stage charisma and honky-tonk style have been wowing audiences all over the blues festival circuit with her show-stopping performances.

Add the Croutons and dressing…..Rae Gordon & Sonny Hess who will have their first brand new CD together. (Available at the festival). Rae Gordon nominated for three years in a row by the CBA for Best Female Vocalist. Sonny Hess recently nominated for CBA’s Life time achievement award will take you on an emotional train ride with her tasty guitar licks.
