Hmmm, do I visit my brother in Portland for Thanksgiving...?

 

Saw him 3 times years ago. 

1st was at the Rogue Valley Theater

2nd was at the McDonald Theater

3rd was the Arline Schnitzer Theater.

Guess you could say we saw Joe B before Joe B was $$$$$ cool.

I got to see Joe when he was still a pudgy kid opening for BB King (2003 Maryhill Winery, Goldendale, WA).  Freakin' awesome show!  Poor Kenny Wayne Shepherd had to follow Joe's opening act, and it was embarrassing - the bill should have been flipped - Kenny Wayne first, then Joe, LOL!!. 
 

I've gotten to see Joe 3 more times over the years, mostly at the Alladin in PDX. He puts on a fantastic show! Just happened to catch part of his "Live at Royal Albert Hall" show from 2009 last night on PBS. If you guys haven't seen him, he's worth twice the price of admission. 

 

I got to have some personal interaction with Joe at that Maryhill show, super cool dude. I don't know if I can make it to one of his shows this fall, but definitely looking forward to getting to see him again!
