Mary Flower and the BBQ Boys - 2nd Saturday Community Concert
Nobody picks it like Mary Flower.

Flower's award-winning finger-picking guitar and lap-slide prowess is soulful and meter-perfect.  When she joins with the BBQ Boys, a joyous blend of blues jug band and swing is born.  The BBQ Boys are a subset of the BBQ Orchestra started in the early 90's by the late Fritz Richmond, jug player with the Jim Kweskin Jug Band. The BBQ Boys are Stew Dodge on Fiddle, Doc Stein on dobro, Spud Siegel on mandolin and Mark Vehrencamp on sousaphone.

Flower's immense fingerpicking guitar and lap-slide prowess is soulful and meter-perfect, a deft blend of the inventive, the dexterous and the mesmerizing. Her supple honey-and-whiskey voice provides the perfect melodic accompaniment to each song's story.An internationally known and award-winning picker, singer/songwriter and teacher, the Midwest native relocated from Denver to the vibrant Portland, Oregon, music scene in in 2004 and hasn't looked back since. She continues to please crowds and critics at folk festivals and concert stages domestically and abroad, ones that include Merlefest, Kerrville, King Biscuit, Prairie Home Companion and the Calgary Folk Festival, among many.

A finalist in 2000 and 2002 at the National Fingerpicking Guitar Championship (Top 3 both years, and the only woman), a nominee in 2008 and 2012 for a Blues Foundation Blues Music Award, and a 2011 Portland Muddy Award winner, Flower embodies a luscious and lusty mix of rootsy, acoustic-blues guitar and vocal styles that span a number of idioms  from Piedmont to the Mississippi Delta, with stops in ragtime, swing, folk and hot jazz.

Flower's 10 recordings, including her last four for Memphis' famed Yellow Dog Records  Bywater Dance, Instrumental Breakdown, Bridges and Misery Loves Company  show a deep command of and love for folk and blues string music. For Flower, it's never about re-creation. Her dedication to the art form is a vital contribution to America's music.

"A world class finger-style guitarist and lap slide player."  Downbeat Magazine

"There are few musicians in the genre bringing as much creative spark and low-key mojo to this century-old music"  Acoustic Guitar Magazine

"Marries acoustic blues with touches of ragtime, folk, and jazzthe interplay is always interesting, often provocative, and sometimes breathtaking."  Living Blues
