Th en, on Saturday, March 30, Melissa Ruth will be featured during a special CD release party. Robb’s latest album “Con- fessin’ My Dues” is being hailed as one of the fi nest fi ngerstyle blues guitar albums on the in- ternational scene. Confessin’ My Dues marks the second release from Robb on the Port- land-based independent record label, NiaSounds, and his 15th solo recording. Confessin’ My Dues will be available world- wide May 31, at online retailers and streaming services such as Amazon, Apple Music and Pandora. Th e worldwide re- lease is preceded by Robb’s solo promotional tour of the Pacifi c Northwest, California and Brit- ish Columbia where Limited Edition Advance Release CDs will be available for purchase. On Confessin’ My Dues, Robb draws on his deep knowl- edge of Delta blues, ragtime and swing in 13 original com- positions ranging from blis- tering instrumental blues and stunning ragtime fi ngerpicking to soulful singing backed by a powerhouse rhythm section. Renowned jazz musicians Gary Hobbs and Dave Captein are featured on drums and upright bass throughout the album, and blues guitarist Adam Scrams- tad makes a guest appearance on electric rhythm guitar. “Every release that Ter- ry Robb puts out is a cause to celebrate,” says Greg Johnson, president, Cascade Blues As- sociation. “Th ere are not many guitarists in the blues or any genre that you can come by that are as detailed and clever with their creativity. Confessin’ My Dues is yet another example of Terry Robb doing what he does best — leaving us with a sense of awe and joy with every note he plays. It’s a winning formula that continues to lead the pack.” Terry will perform this Fri- day at the Axe & Fiddle, 657 E. Main St., beginning at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $12 in advance (ter- ryrobb2ataxe.brownpapertick- ets.com) or $15 at the door. Th en on Saturday, the Axe & Fiddle will be hosting a CD release party for Melissa Ruth’s release of her latest album, ‘Me- teor,’ beginning at 8:30 p.m. Ruth’s music is described as somewhere along that stretch of sonic highway where Amer- icana and blues converge into one long, sometimes lonesome road. But Ruth likes to detour toward a place she prefers to call “doo-wop twang” — a sound that contains, in her words, “the space of blues, the teeth of country and the grit of rock ‘n’ roll.” Of course, the highway is more than metaphor for Ruth, who puts 30,000 miles a year on her car as a traveling teach- er and performer, carrying her music and messages to audi- ences well beyond her rural Oregon home. She actually ad- dresses her “perpetual motion” nomadic life in “Long Haul Heartbreak,” a track from her upcoming album, Meteor (re- leased March 1from Both Ears Records). Ruth’s travels also inspired “Hey Mr. Bartend- er,”a meditation of sorts on the country’s current social climate. Th ere is no cover charge Saturday. -Submitted Report Hopefully all students, staff and teachers are en- joying their Spring break! • Applegate Elementary has been enjoying an amazing focus on China and shar- ing with all the school.
