The Resolectrics perform at Fort George Portland band brings soulful blend of folk, rock and R&B ASTORIA — The Resolectrics are a classic rhythm and blues band, but like the pioneers of rock ‘n’ roll in the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s, they draw inspiration from many sources in the roots of American music to create an original and soulful blend of rock, R&B and folk. Their ragged-yet-heartfelt harmo- nies, bluesy riffs and swampy grooves are sure to move you. Hear the band live at 8 pm. Sunday, Aug. 16 at the Fort George Brewery. All ages are welcome, and there is no cover. The brewery is located at 1483 Duane St. The Resolectrics formed in the summer of 2009 when Johnny Brenda (guitar/vocals) and Rhumen Boord (keys/ vocals) decided they should form a group around the blues/ Americana-based music they had been sharing together on the front porch over beers. Boord had already been play- ing with drummer Johnny Travis Champ, David Longoria, Justin Fallen to play Aug. 16 Submitted photo Portland-based band The Resolectrics will perform at 8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 16 at the Fort George Brewery in Astoria.
