Reggie Houston's Earth Island Band
featuring Janice Scroggins
Waterfront Blues Festival
Portland, OR.
July 3, 2009

Recorded from KBOO FM a local all volunteer radio station. There are always reception problems and drops in sound from this station. Maybe it's just where I live. Anyway, I have tried to find and fix all the drops in sound. This year not all the first day was broadcast. Not sure why. Etta James canceled and was replaced by Keb Mo' but his recording contract wouldn't allow his broadcast.

Please understand that I don't know all these bands and it's hard for me to come up with all the set list's. I'll do my best and ask for help when needed.

Linage: FM tuner straight to HD>CD Wave>EAC with SBE's fixed>TLH>FLAC>torrent.

This is a big undertaking for me every year and I love doing it. Please leave your comments, I enjoy reading them. Enjoy the tunes, twofthrs


New Orleans saxophone ace Reggie Houston relocated to Portland three years ago, a move he calls "one of the best decisions I've ever made. Portland had everything I was looking for." Houston's Crescent City Connection project serves up New Orleans funk, blues and hard-grooving fun.

Houston, a second-generation New Orleans musician, studied with Crescent City legends Edward "Kid" Jordan and Alvin Batiste before graduating to steady gigs with such greats as Irma Thomas, Fats Domino and Charmaine Neville. Reggie has also recorded with Buffy Saint-Marie and Peter Gabriel.
