Event
An Evening With "Jackstraw"
The muddy Willamette River that runs through Portland, Oregon may not be as famous as the muddy Mississippi, but it forms the border of a new form of American roots music, informed both by the traditions of the American South and the rainy woods of the Northwest. Portland bluegrass band Jackstraw has been the flagship of this movement since they formed in 1997. They know their bluegrass history and don't hesitate to pay homage to their heroes, like the Stanley Brothers, this ain't your standard bluegrass band. These boys have a cutting edge take on bluegrass picking that they've developed over years of touring the United States and their original songs can sound as much country as old time. This is bluegrass that belongs in a dusty honky-tonk, country twang as rooted in Bill Monroe as George Jones, an old-timey sound for a new age.
The band's devoted following includes bluegrass purists,alt-country fans, kids looking to dance, and people who know a good tune when they hear one. Jackstraw has developed a reputation over the years for their impeccable musicianship and hard-driving original songs. Before Portland was on the map as the roots music capitol of America, Jackstraw was there, building the foundation of this community with their hard-worn picking and lonesome harmonies.
