Fun info about how the Young Guns of the Blues got started: Greg’s wife Cherie originally put it together for Greg’s birthday celebration, but then they went on to play additional sold-out shows!

Kivett Bednar 2018 Willamette Week Best of Portland winner

Tevis Hodge Jr, traditional American music historian and recreator
