Ty Curtis Band
Waterfront Blues Festival
Portland, OR.
July 3, 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.
"Ty Curtis is a triple threat, since he is the band's lead singer, as well as the primary composer of their material, and thirdly he's a sonically incendiary, string-shredding electric guitar player." ~ PeteFrancis, BLUES ROCK REVIEW
'Ty plays it like a young man should, straight ahead and from the heart' - The late, great PAUL DELAY
Those who subscribe to the notion that only age and a lifetime of hardships can produce a blues musician have probably never heard TY CURTIS play guitar, sing, or listened to the powerful lyrics of just one of his songs. Ty, being one of Oregon's youngest blues musicians, has already released five award winning CDs at the age of 27. Greg Johnson, the president of Cascade Blues Association, could not agree more 'TY'S lyrics and music show growth and these tunes shouldn't just appeal to the blues crowd, TY'S fully capable of crossing over for any audience that is put in front of him'.
