Wednesday, August 9, 2006 Beatnik Blues Band to perform The Beatnik Blues Band The Beatnik Blues Band was conceived outside of a Eugene blues club. Local Heppnerites Kevin Drake and Jeff Currin had a chance encounter with lead singer/electric harp phenomenon Mac Hines. After a few practices, the band enlisted the help of percussionist Don Elkington. The Beatnik Blues Band frequently performs at venues in the Eugene/Corvallis area, creating a unique sound consisting of hybrid cover tunes, originals, and blues classics, from mellow to mind blowing... bold to funk. The Beatnik Blues Band always provides something to groove to. Everyone is invited to the Fair Friday night before the rodeo (5:30 p.m.) to listen to Kevin and Jeff perform with Beatnik Blues Band.
