Andrew Matthews / Tall Static

Wednesday January 5th
Meeting begins: 6:30 pm

The Cascade Blues Association is holding its membership meeting at the Spare Room Restaurant & Lounge 4830 NE 42nd Ave Portland, continuing the standard format of spotlighting two different performances. This month Andrew Matthews will kick off the first set at 6:30pm followed by Tall Static after the break.
 
Andrew Matthews:
This teen guitar player has been making waves on the local music scene, from the time he first began playing at area youth jams at age 15, now scoring accolades and high level recognition playing both small venues and blowing away audiences with the Andrew Matthews Band. Tonight he’ll be taking us back to his roots with a solo acoustic blues set.
Look for Dale Payne’s interview with Andrew in the upcoming issue of BluesNotes on the CBA website (January 2022)
Tall Static:
Cling-free blues, R&B and funk.
Tall Static is a four-piece force of nature playing blues, R&B and funk with energy, dynamics and heart.
