Dick Brainaird – Portland Waterfront Blues
Festival
If you are coming to the WBF & need a hotel
room, I am negotiating a discount rate at University Place Hotel about a 10-12 minute walk from the fest. The rate will include a
cooked to order breakfast from the hotel restaurant menu. I will receive 20
rooms at the discount rate, so let me know asap if you want one of the
rooms. Don’t yet know the discount rate but likely to be around
$100/night.
The hotel is very nice & is in a very safe area next to
Portland State Univ.—actually owned by the
Univ. The walkway to the festival is through an area of new business,
university & apartment buildings.
The best way to reach the hotel from the airport will be to use
the “Downtown Hotel Shuttle” which stops at the hotel.
Otherwise you can use the MAX light rail line from the airport to downtown,
then transfer to the southbound “Yellow/Orange” line on
SW 5th Av. up to the hotel on SW Lincoln. Parking is expensive at the hotel
& area parking garages.
The WBF is all day July 4-5-6-7 (Thu-Sun) from noon till 10 PM,
with additional late night music in the adjacent
Marriott Hotel ballrooms. Cajun & zydeco music will be on the Front
Porch Stage from noon till 10 PM both Sat & Sun. with a large dance
floor in front of the stage. There will be lessons between band sets. Thu
& Fri there will be swing dancing on the dance floor to swing-blues
bands.
Cascade Zydeco is working on adding an off-site dance with one
of the zydeco bands so stay tuned for info.
Bands will include;
Chubby Carrier & His Zydeco Swamp Band
Curley Taylor & Zydeco Trouble
Wayne Singleton & Same Ol’ 2-Step
Lil’ Pookie
Zydeco Band
TooLoose Cajun
Band
Each will play 3 times over Sat & Sun.
Go to www.waterfrontbluesfest.com for lots of information
on all the other stuff.
Be sure to email me soon if you want one of the discount rooms. The hotel
is already 40% booked for the WBF weekend.

Hi folks..wanted to thank all the folks who came down to
hear Annie and her Zydeco Boys play last Sunday..Wow,
were they good!! this was the same ensemble we had back in March, and from
5:55 to 8:25, they played straight thru, and just kicked ass like nobody's business..All nght..We had a
lot of new people who didn't believe this was only the 2nd time they had
played before..A good 20 new people as well..And who knows? maybe they will come back and
bring new friends as well..
Have to say though the band, W/Billy Wilson on accordion, Jim Scott on
Guitar, Keith Waters on Bass, Cj Phillps on board and vocals, special guest Andre
Thierry on Drums, Vocals and more, backing up Annie and playing in their
own right, the whole band sounded like a powerhouse..Got
all kinds of calls and emails too about HOW LUCKY WE ARE TO HAVE GREAT
TALENT here..and those folks would be so right..I can't say enough of this stuff..I've
been putting together All-Star Ensembles for a while now and I'm always
impressed how good it has always sounded..Just
like this one did.You know I get a lot of people,
ususally stuffy people or folks who are stuck in
one way of thinking always tell me, "Well this is not how Cajun or
French Creole is done in La. or Texas." Usually these folks don't COME
to the show but get it off of YouTube..I
always tell them "yeah, it's not how totally sounds like La..or Texas." This is California/SF Bay Area
musicians sounding great..and I'm glad it sounds
the way it does..We do things a bit different out
here in the Bay Area and always have..Those same
folks always give me a strange look too when I say it..I
just laugh..So thanks for all the nice folks
again who came out..We'll see if we can get a
summer date together, as many in the band are getting lots of summer work
and that is great..
But speaking of
doing special things, we're have a Dana and Lisa Thank You Zydeco Dance
with Andre..that is this Friday for all the folks
who keep doggin me about Friday night dances
coming back..Well here's your shot..Was
going to do this last Aug..but was in the
hospital the whole month so I'm doing it now..Andre
will be in town doing a gig and then boogie on over to the Hall..Doors about 8ish, with Andre coming on at 9 or a
little after..if people show, we'll do a short lesson..Lisa and I are doing this to thank all the
support the last 23+ years..it has not been easy
or always fun, but the support from many people is why I'm still doing this..So this is our way of giving back..$10 bucks is
the price, so bring some new friends, the kids, etc..it
wil lbe a nice night
with the Best Accordion Player in the country today playing Zydeco..
A couple of
more things..I decided to not do the workshop
after all..Didn't get a big response so I'ts not going to happen.For
those who did respond, thanks but it wasn't enough to make it work..Maybe in a month or two we'll see what we can
work out..Thanks again..
Also, Joe Hall
and the Cane Cutters are coming into town for one show, on Sunday April
28..Last time Joe and the band played, which was two years ago, they really
kicked ass..So for all those folks who say I
never book enough Cajun style stuff, which isn't true, well here you go..Joe is a very good accordion player and singer, and
will have a kick fiddler coming out as well..the
whole band is really tight, so we hope to see you there..that's
Sunday for an early show too..5:30 start time..and
yeah it will be $20 buck as they are driving out here..So
spread the word..we'll see you then..
And because people
asked, Motordude will be back on Sunday May 19..
Thanks to all..and for the support.
we hope to see you
somewhere along the Zydeco Road..See
you Friday for our Thank You Zydeco Dance with Andre..

Hello Brad and
Guy!
I just
came across your site while doing some research for my website, and it is
so great to see the Cajun culture being promoted out in California! I
live in Sorrento, La and have been Cajun dancing as long
as I can remember. I teach Cajun Dance lessons here locally,
and I recently created an online version of my Introduction to Cajun Dance
class. The class includes the basics of the waltz, two-step, and
shuffle and also has a bit of history thrown
in. I thought I would contact ya’ll
to connect and give you the information for the class in case anyone in
California may be interested! The class is brand new, so any
feedback, reviews or suggestions will be much appreciated!
Information
about the course can be found here: https://likeacajun.com/courses/introduction-to-cajun-dance/.
Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

As the grandson of the world-renowned Cajun accordion-builder Larry Miller.
helping in his grandfather’s shop from a very early age, he met and
was influenced by some of the greatest names in Louisiana music.
“This is what I grew up with. I thought everyone listened to
Cajun music all the time,” Miller says. Inspired by the constant
contact with famed Cajun and Creole musicians, the steady stream of house
parties and jams at his grandfather’s shop, Miller has been playing
since receiving his first toy accordion at age 5, and
also plays fiddle, guitar, bass, and his latest obsession, steel
guitar. He’s gone on to become a legendary Cajun musician himself.
Having played widely throughout the U.S. and traveling all over the
world in his 32 years, as founding member of Pine Leaf Boys and member of
the Red Stick Ramblers Miller has performed with just about every renowned
Cajun artist in Louisiana, and an extensive list of venues rivaling that of
a musician twice his age.
Asked how he came to the Aces trio configuration, Miller says, “I
wanted to do something more homey, like comfort
food-you know, like a great gumbo. Something that would stick to your ribs.“My favorite places
to play are the old opera houses and the dance halls. The places with low
ceilings, dark, not always good sound. The grittier places.”
What inspires and drives Miller is his passion for bringing back
traditional Cajun music and letting people know that “Cajun music is
alive! It’s happening! It’s the real thing! Come check it
out!”
We
really enjoyed dancing to Andre Thierry Sunday October 14th.
