Hi everybody!  We hope you have had a fun and eventful summer.  The band and I have been busy playing gigs and putting the finishing touches on our CD “Playing The Game”.  It the midst of all this, Allen found time to get married to Lisa in front of a few friends (well...maybe thirty thousand or so!) on stage at the Waterfront Blues Festival....what a beautiful ceremony!
As for our CD “Playing The Game”, the recording consists of 10 original songs that cover a wide range of blues that we hope you will enjoy.  We are excited to announce that we will be having our CD release party on Friday, October 2 at Duff’s Garage located at 1635 SE 7th Ave in Portland.  The show starts at 9:30pm and the cost is $8.   This is a Cascade Blues Association co-sponsored event and members will receive $1 off the cover charge if they present their membership card at the door.
In other news, our Sunday night jam at the Refectory has been going great!  We are well into our 2nd year there and it’s seems to get better each week.  Thanks to all those who have been coming out and supporting the jam, especially all the wonderful musicians who have shared their talents with us.   For those who haven’t made it out yet, the Refectory is located at 1618 NE 122nd Ave., just north of Halsey.  It starts at 6pm (great for those of you who have to get up early!) and goes until around 10 or 10:30.  There is a nice big dance floor and the Refectory always has some great food and drink specials going on during the jam.
We hope to see you soon and check out www.kevinselfe.com  and www.myspace.com/kevinselfeanthetornadoes for other upcoming shows.  Thanks!
