West Cafe hosts a distinctive voice in downtown Portland

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.

Get your hips swaying and shoulders shimmying to the rich melodies of the Caribbean Islands

Woven together and sprinkled with Xavier’s special energy, the band’s vibes will uplift your spirit and get your body swaying.
