West Café presents down-home folk and blues downtown Saturday, September 19.

On Saturday, September 19, the West Café is happy to welcome back the always captivating David Brothers and his award-winning urban folk and blues. Schooled in multiple disciplines, David [www.myspace.com/davidbrothers] artfully incorporates bebop, Latin jazz, gypsy swing, blues, Americana, and solo concert guitar into his compositions and playing.
He packed the house for his debut cd release in April and we expect the café to be jumping in September as summer breathes its last and autumn settles in.  Join us for a delectable dinner in the restaurant or simply unwind at the cozy bar with top-notch aperitifs and appetizers.

September 26, 2009: Mary Kadderly

Come say farewell to the final days of summer at the West Café in downtown Portland with the distinctive jazz of Mary Kadderly on Saturday, September 26.

Mary Kadderly’s smoky vocals recall Natalie Cole in her “Unforgettable” phase, though she can get sassy and coy like Kay Starr, be as coolly detached as Sade, and ooze overt sensuality like Julie London.  More information can be found at www.marykadderly.com/index.htm.
The West always has a cozy seat reserved for you. So come on in and dine, drink, unwind and enjoy the jazz on Saturday, September 26.  There’s never a cover charge.
