Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell, The Mavericks and More
This Saturday 'Swing & Country' will be focusing on two upcoming music events occuring in Portland. The Mavericks with frontman Raul Malo will be performing at the new venue Revolution Hall on Friday May 22 and appearing at The Oregon Zoo on Friday, July 31st will be Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell.
On Harris & Crowell:
"Maybe it was just a matter of momentum. It took Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell close to four decades to get around to making a duets album after the two first started working together in the mid-'70s, when he became a guitarist and frequent songwriter with her Hot Band. But just two years after releasing 2013's Old Yellow Moon, Harris and Crowell have the ball rolling again with The Traveling Kind, another album built around their easy but heartfelt creative interplay as both vocalists and songwriters. Harris and Crowell co-wrote six of The Traveling Kind's 11 songs".
The Mavericks:
"From their earliest shows as a garage band playing the punk clubs on Miami Beach, The Mavericks have had a skill for getting people to groove. Drawing on a mix of classic country, cow-punk and standards, Malo and company left South Florida, bringing their rhythmic fervor and Latin machismo, along with Malo’s lush baritone, to the world".
All this and more on Saturday!
