Sweet Basil’s Cafe hosts
blues player Lloyd Jones
CANNON BEACH — Sweet Ba-
sil’s Café in Cannon Beach will
host blues player Lloyd Jones at
6:30 p.m. Saturday, May 2.
This Portland roots artist has
recorded six critically acclaimed
albums, toured internationally
and racked up dozens of major
awards and accolades. Enthusi-
astic crowds can’t get enough
of his swampy blues, his back
porch picking, his funk, soul,
roadhouse two-beats, and old-
school rhythm and blues. Yet he
may be the most invisible, best-
kept blues and Americana secret
on the contemporary scene.
Jones is a master of the soulful
understatement, the raw growl
and the groove.
From his roots in muddy Or-
egon soil, he’s forged a 30-plus-
year career as an impassioned
singer and guitar slinger, a soul-
ful songwriter, a bandleader,
record producer and an almost
strident torchbearer for all that’s
true and good about America’s
music.
He’s shared stages and spot-
lights with Albert Collins, Cray,
Raitt, Delbert McClinton, Taj
Mahal, B.B. King, Dr. John,
John Hammond, Junior Wells
and Buddy Guy, and a hundred
more. And, except for Albert
and Junior, Jones’ timeless,

Lloyd Jones will perform at Sweet Basil’s
Cafe in Cannon Beach on May 2.
McClinton said, “When I
heard Lloyd Jones live for the
¿UVW WLPH LQ -DQXDU\ LW
was like exhaling after holding
my breath for 15 years!”
When he plays Sweet Basils,
the room gets quiet, people stop
eating and all eyes turn to the
bluesman in the corner of the
room. Jones delivers a night of
joy, fun and outstanding mu-
sic. He is no poser; no young-
ster who copped a couple of
quick blues licks and headed
for the big time with a cocky
swagger and a brand-new Strat.
You see it in his face when he
plays — the ear-to-ear grin, the
soul-gripping grimace when he
bites off another stinging note.
Sweet Basils is located at
271 N. Hemlock St. For infor-
