Pin & The Horn-its
Waterfront Blues Festival
Portland, OR.
July 4, 2015
I'm 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. 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.
After a 20-plus-year hiatus, Pin & The Horn-its are back, and better (and bigger) than ever - now they are 13 pieces!
Their debut show at 'The Benefit for TOO SLIM' blew everyone away.
The reunited band is the brainchild of old friends and guitarists LARRY PINDAR and MIKE CROSS, and man, what a band they have assembled! Holly Cole is phenomenal on vocals, and the horn charts are written by ex-John Mayal Bluesbreaker CHRIS MERCER, an original member of the Horn-its. (No, not the jazz singer Holly Cole .)
Pin and Horn-Its brings you danceable, funky, soulful, gritty-but-polished, unabashed, real-deal blues and soul music from decades past and present.
