Just what can be said about B.B. King that hasn’t already been told numerous times before. Perhaps the most recognized bluesman in the world today, B.B. King has been touring the country and the world since the late 1940s gaining new friends and fans wherever he goes. With a guitar style instantly identifiable and a lifetime of outstanding music in his repertoire, King’s performances are consistent and engaging. So enthralling that members of The Blues Foundation continuously selected him year after year as the winner of the Blues Music Award for entertainer of the year. And the only way that the Foundation saw that somebody else might have a chance to receive this honor decided to name the award for King making him ineligible in the category. So, needless to say, if you haven’t seen a B.B. King show, then you need to do yourself a huge favor and make sure to attend. Recently celebrating his 84th birthday, he may not be doing quite as many shows as he has done in the past, but that does not mean he’s slowed down or plans to retire anytime soon.
B.B. King will be returning to Portland for an appearance at
The Roseland Theater,
8 NW 6th, on Tuesday,
November 10th. Opening the show will be blues-rockers Lukas Nelson & The Promise Of The Real, who were one of the most talked about acts at this last summer’s Safeway Waterfront Blues Festival. Definitely a show that shouldn’t be missed and will guaranteed to be a sell-out. Tickets are available through the Roseland’s website (
www.doubletee.com) or at TicketsWest outlets.
