Bobby will join the band known as One Way Out for an unforgettable evening of music performed in the classic Granada Theater in the Dalles – just an hour and a half ride from Portland through the beautiful Columbia Gorge. One Way Out will be performing a tribute to Allman brothers – a celebrated Southern-Rock-Blues band that created a style emulated by many bands today. See Allman Bothers Band live at the Filmore here. The Allman Brothers exploration of electric blues music was groundbreaking for its day. They created a melting pot seasoned with elements of jazz, rock, country, and blues and shaped it into a style utterly their own. They were regarded as one of the most innovative and captivating bands to ever play the Fillmore. Be prepared as this electrified eight-piece Southern-Rock-Blues band, will leave you only “ONE WAY OUT”  by the end of the night.

The Artichoke presents First Fridays with Lloyd Jones featuring Bobby Torres and Steve Kern. Artichoke Music is a creative space for people of all ages and backgrounds to gather, play and share traditional music from all cultures.  Artichoke Music is a non-profit music organization dedicated to building community through music by providing rewarding experiences for people to discover, learn and play music. For Friday November 1st, Lloyd has invited Bobby Torres to play congas along with pianist Steve Kern.

About Lloyd: Portland, Oregon roots artist Lloyd Jones has recorded six critically acclaimed albums, toured internationally, and racked up dozens of major awards and accolades. He’s a relentless road dog, hitting festival stages, Delbert’s annual Sandy Beaches Cruises (he’s been a regular on six winter cruises), and clubs all across the land to enthusiastic crowds who can’t get enough of his swampy blues, his backporch picking, his serious-as-anthrax funk, soul, roadhouse two-beats, and old-school rhythm and blues (back before the R&B tag was somehow appropriated for other musical purposes, apparently when we weren’t looking). Yet he may be the most invisible, best-kept roots/blues/Americana secret on the contemporary scene.
