Rough Cut Release Party
Award-winning soul, blues and R&B vo-
calist Curtis Salgado and renowned guitarist
Alan Hager celebrate the release of their first
collaborative CD, “Rough Cut” with two per-
formances on Friday, Feb. 2 at 7 p.m. and 10
p.m. at Mississippi Studios in north Portland.
Joining the duo will be Portland musi-
cians LaRhonda Steele, Keith Brush, Dave
Fleschner and Brian Foxworth.
Salgado’s earth-shaking vocals and force-
ful harmonica playing have been devastat-
ing audiences around the world for over 30
years. Hager has been wowing fellow mu-
sicians from his hometown of Portland and
beyond for decades.
Rough Cut is a stripped-down album fea-
turing a potent mix of newly written, timeless
originals and carefully chosen blues covers.
“We did it for the love of the music,” says
Salgado. “This is where our hearts are. These
are deep songs that we love to play.”
Tickets $25 in advance and $30 day of
show.
Bringing Down
Apartheid
For the first time on screen, ‘Winnie’ explores
the rise and seemingly fall from grace of
Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, the wife of Nelson
Mandela. Her contribution to the struggle
to bring down apartheid is explored from
the inside, with intimate insight from Winnie
herself, those who were closest to her and the
enemies who sought to extinguish her radical
capacity to shake up the order of things. Winnie
