Alright. I made some sets of handbills for those who want them, but you’re gonna have to come to SnoBall to pick them up. They ended up being pretty thick stacks. When I see all these sprawled out, I can see I’ve been a very busy bitch. And these only representate a percent of the events of thrown in this town. Sheesh! Keep dancing #Portland!!! . #SugarTownPdx #SnoBallpdx #ClubNittyGritty #portlandnightlife https://www.instagram.com/p/B41lGQIhReP/?igshid=y25gx1t9imdr

Most of the times I dig through #45records in any PNW thrift store I feel like kicking myself for wasting my time. A couple of weeks ago it paid off for the first time in ages. I didn’t know what this was when I found it, but I picked it up because I figured by the title it either had to be a bubble gum record or a #60sSoul instro. Turns out, it looks as if it’s a rare #PacificNorthwest #Soul45 from #Seattle. It’s a stone cold groover! I’m both surprised & embarrassed that I hadn’t heard of organist #DaveLewis until now, but I’m glad I found out about him! Looking forward to sharing this at #ClubNittyGritty tomorrow (5/4) at the @kentonclub ! . #souljazz #nowspinning #vinylcollection #vinyl https://www.instagram.com/p/BxA4DaKBCaL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fdn8d5zkyeqy

#AmosMilburn, a staple in the #ClubNittyGritty set list, was born in Houston, TX on this day in 1927. One of many TX musicians to migrate to Los Angeles post WWII, Milburn was one of the key figures of West Coast R&B, hastening the transition from swing to jump blues https://www.instagram.com/p/BvuO0IFA8IQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16cdnbepy6nho

#WillieDixon, titan of #TheBlues, was born on this day in 1915. As a songwriter and producer, he was largely responsible for an enormous percentage of what are considered #ChicagoBlues classics, including the legendary #ChessRecords recordings of #KokoTaylor (whois featured on this poster). I have the deepest regard for Willie & his legacy, and that is why I'll be donating a portion of the profits of the next #ClubNittyGritty (8/4) to #WillieDixonsBluesHeaven Foundation. " . #BluesHeavenFoundation's mission is to help artists and musicians obtain what is rightfully theirs, and to educate both adults and children on the history of the Blues and the business of music."

Please be careful out there ❤️ If you’re looking for a fun distraction tonight & a place to unwind and dance off some tension, join me at the @kentonclub for #ClubNittyGritty! As always I’m spinning vintage #RhythmNBlues, #soulmusic, & #theBlues! #portlandnightlife

#MarvinGaye, the golden voice of #Motown, was born on this day in 1939. He's one of the artists you can dance to at #ClubNittyGritty THIS Friday. Hitch-hike it on down to the @kentonclub ! . . #60sSoul #SoulMusic

Hello! #ClubNittyGritty t-shirts are now a thing! I had a few folks ask me about t-shirts so I decided to have a small number made - unisex sizes sm-3x . I will have these for sale at SnoBall on Dec 7. Maybe a good Xmas gift for fans of dancing! $20 each. https://www.instagram.com/p/B40r_yYBv7C/?igshid=15k1bonicuq3m
