Alberta Street Pub1036 NE AlbertaASPPortland, 97211(503) 284-7665This is a band of good friends having fun playing original music and relevant covers in a genre they call “electric roots”. If you’re not sure what that is think Tom Waits, Bonnie Raitt, Tedeschi-Trucks with a splash of D'Angelo. Bre’s soulful vocals and Dan’s screaming guitar prowess front the band as they masterfully pass the lead back and forth in a musical communication that is both powerful and organic. Backed by groove masters Jeff Langston on bass and Charlie Dogett on drums, they create a sound you can’t help but feel.

On April 15th we are pleased to place her voice solely in the spotlight to perform her favorite songs, all night, with "LaRhonda's Irresistible Soul".
LaRhonda and Mark Steele have a long history of bringing the joy and music into so many lives in the Portland community and the lives of their children. This show is a fundraiser to help their daughters Lauren and Sarah graduate and move onto the next stage of their lives.
LaRhonda is a three time CBA winner of "Best Female Vocalist" and was inducted into the CBA Hall of Fame in 2018. She will be sharing some original songs as well as her favorite Gospel, Soul, Blues, R&B, and Jazz music.
To honor LaRhonda's love for getting people out on the dance floor, we will clear the lower level for dancing. Three ticket tiers are available:
$10 Dancer only (no seat, so plan to be on your feet)
$15 GA (you get a seat - but you should dance too)
$20 VIP (limited seats available - the best seats in the house)
This family has given our community so much joy through music. Please come out and help us celebrate the graduation of their wonderful children and support this exciting life transition.

Our roots are as diverse as our musical style. Best described as a unique sound that ranges from the swampy soul of the Gulf Coast to the hard driving blues styles of Texas, with a splash of funkiness, reminiscent of Motown and Minneapolis. Together we bring a unique feel, sound, and energy to our performances.

Alberta Street Pub1036 NE AlbertaASPPortland, 97211(503) 284-7665This is a band of good friends having fun playing original music and relevant covers in a genre they call “electric roots”. If you’re not sure what that is think Tom Waits, Bonnie Raitt, Tedeschi-Trucks with a splash of D'Angelo. Bre’s soulful vocals and Dan’s screaming guitar prowess front the band as they masterfully pass the lead back and forth in a musical communication that is both powerful and organic. Backed by groove masters Jeff Langston on bass and Charlie Dogett on drums, they create a sound you can’t help but feel.
