Northwest Blues Gallery

Welcome to the Northwest Blues Gallery, where we celebrate some of the most accomplished practitioners of the blues to be found here in Portland and the surrounding areas. Nationally-recognized blues luminaries such as Robert Cray, Curtis Salgado, Paul deLay and Lloyd Jones got their start right here in the Northwest, and their home turf continues to be fertile ground — the soulful, authentic, whip-your-head-around blues artists just keep coming, as you can see by the ever-growing list of notables pictured on these pages. Click on any thumbnail image to read a profile of that artist, usually including additional photos. Don't forget to visit the CBA Muddy Awards Page to see who Portland Blues Fans voted as the BEST in NW Blues!
