Let me say that if you live in Portland, and you like live music, you should make sure and catch the Gretchen Mitchell Band... They are fantastic! Gretchen Mitchell is the primary singer for the group, and Haley Horsfall backs her up on vocals and percussion. I have to say they both have voices that are truly a joy to listen to, and when they bring their group of musicians with them, it is some of the best entertainment you will find in the city. Tonight was something special, her new and first CD was presented for the first time at Jimmy Mak’s it is called “Love For Real” and it is a treat.
The group that opened at Jimmy Mak’s was Carib a trio put together by Mike Horsfall, who pays the piano and vibraphone, Mike is a very talented musician who has a gift for putting together groups of people who play their instruments very well. I also think that Mike is truly blessed being able to play with his very talented daughter as well as with the GMB.
Of course the people in the audience who got to enjoy a moment in time that will never be completely replicated were also blessed with a fantastic evening, in great company, by some of Portland’s greatly talented people.

Sorry Keith, not much into that bluegrass/alternative music you have out there! ;-)
All my best.

I seen Gretchen's band for the first time on the 29th of May and I'm here to tell you, I really enjoyed the music!! They all sounded great! I love the sound of a piano and Danny did a wonderful job. Not only did I enjoy the sound but I enjoyed watching him "enjoy" playing it. I wish them luck in the future. Looking forward to the next CD.
