Simon Tucker Band
Waterfront Blues Festival, Portland, OR.
July 3, 2014

Another year of WBF recordings. Recorded from KBOO FM in Portland, OR. A great lineup again this year. I was looking forward to Greg Allman's set, but he had to pull out due to sickness. Oh well, I wouldn't have been able to share him here anyway. Seems to be much more DJ talking this year, interrupting some music. I just left it in rather than trying to edit each show. Feel free to make any changes you wish for personal use.

I may need help with some of the set list's as I don't know all the bands.

Enjoy, twofthrs

After hearing Cream�s version of "Crossroads" at the age of eleven, Simon Tucker knew absolutely: he wanted to play electric blues. So he picked up a guitar and two years later at the age of thirteen he formed his first band. Soon they were playing blues tunes and classic rock covers for local and regional events and Simon had begun writing his own music and lyrics. For seven years he continued to perform in groups whose music ranged across genres from as reggae to psychedelic rock to the blues. All the while Simon continued to refine his skills as a musician, a singer and songwriter. In the winter of 2003, Simon met drummer Bill Wilcox (formerly of The Polecats) and began his fast-track journey back to his roots in the blues. Bassist Rollie Hallen joined the pair in 2007 to form the Simon Tucker Group. The trio has shared the stage with national acts such as Kenny Wayne Sheppard, Little River Band, Peter Noone (Herman�s Hermits), Starship, Mark Farner (Grand Funk), Dennis DeYoung, Rick Springfield and Peter Rivera (Rare Earth).
