Podcasts about muddy awards

Back at Catfish Lou’s, a Blues and Soul club at 2460 NW 24th, winner of the last two Muddy Awards for Best Venue. Today Sarah Tiedemann is here. She’s the Artistic Director of Third Angle New Music which has been astounding Portland audiences for decades with what we used to call the avant-garde. I’m not sure what we call it now, but I’m sure she found out. She’s going to let us in on what next season is all about…that will be her second full season as Artistic Director. She’s a native Oregonian and flutist who also plays with Oregon Ballet Theater Orchestra. Let’s Meet Sarah Tiedemann.

Today we get to do what we love to do and that’s bring in someone who curates one of our major music festivals and let them tell us about everyone in it. We’re at Catfish Lou’s at 2460 NW 24th Ave. They won Muddy Awards in 2017 and 2018 for Best Venue, as you may know. With me is Nicholas Harris, who is one of the founders of the Soul’d Out Festival and is back this year to tell us all about the performers. He also books Jack London Review in downtown Portland, which has grown into THE place to discover national and international Jazz, Hip Hop, R&B talent and also a home for folks like Mel Brown. Nicholas is always engaging, he’s enthusiastic about this festival, as he should be. It starts in mid-April. Let’s turn Nicholas loose on the lineup.

We’re getting pretty comfortable in the new home for the podcast…Catfish Lou’s at 2460 NW 24th Ave. They won Muddy Awards in 2017 and 2018 for Best Venue. Lloyd Jones is no stranger to Catfish Lou’s, he’s played here several times and he’s here with me right now to tell you a fabulous story about making his new album with some Nashville Blues stars, and how he’s just launched a Kickstarter campaign to bring it your way. If you’ve ever heard any interviews (or his previous Coffeeshop Conversation) you know that nobody tells a tale like Lloyd Jones. He’s one of a kind and still out there blasting. Wait till you hear him tell this one.

OMN’s Coffeeshop Conversations is back for our second week of what we hope to be a long run at our new home Catfish Lou’s at 2460 NW 24th Ave. It’s a real music club which won Muddy Awards for Best Venue from the Cascade Blues Association for the past two years. With me today is painter and photographer Diane Russell. You’ve seen her paintings and drawings of musicians all over town, including in here. And you’ve seen her photography on OMN for many years and we’re happy to be able to have her work on our pages. So we’ll be talking about a show she has up at the Art Bar as part of the 2019 Portland Jazz Festival and how she works and also about fighting it out in photographer scrums at concerts. Let’s meet Diane Russell.

April 23, 2015 Welcome to another Oregon Music News Coffeeshop Conversation…the coffeeshop being World Cup Coffee and Tea at NW 18th and Glisan. With me today is Blues guitarist/singer Mary Flower, known for her Piedmont and her Delta Blues playing and her slide guitar and her singing. She's a multiple Blues Music and Muddy Awards winner. She’s always on the road, so it’s nice to get her in one place for an hour. I had run into her the previous night at Blackwell’s where she was sitting in for Lloyd Jones. She talks about that and her life and travels as an internationally recognized artist.
