“Music is bigger than you are. You get to be part of it.”

Danny Schauffler, 2-time Oregon Music Hall of Fame Inductee (having been a part of 2 bands inducted: Nu Shooz and Crazy 8s) is one of the most infectious humans I’ve ever been blessed to encounter.

Danny’s passion for music education stretches beyond the stage… while he’s laid down horns behind the Northwest’s most successful bands (Paul Delay, Quarterflash, The Rockin’ Razorbacks, Dan Reed Network, Johnny Limbo, Tom Grant, the California Raisins and more), he’s been most influential as band director for Valley Catholic High School for many years.

We’ll talk about his induction, his dedication to music education, the state of music today and his upcoming Lake Oswego Festival of the Arts performers. CLICK HERE to see the festival lineup and overview!

Part 2 of the spirited conversation with a true legend is here! The hang that Curtis and I had couldn’t be contained in one episode. I can’t WAIT to get to part 2 of the live chat w/Curtis. Join us to be a part of it!

Award-winning vocalist, instrumentalist and songwriter Curtis Salgado, the man NPR calls “an icon” with “a huge voice,” is revered worldwide for his ability to wring every ounce of soul out of every song he performs. Salgado is famed not only for his powerhouse live shows and ten previous albums, but also for his passionate and insightful original songs. He has been nominated three times for the Blues Music Award for Song Of The Year, winning in 2018 for Walk A Mile In My Blues from The Beautiful Lowdown. In total, he has won nine Blues Music Awards, including the B.B. King Entertainer Of The Year. DownBeat calls his songwriting skills “an impressive gift.” Billboard says Salgado’s music is “inspired and powerful.” Now, after 40 years of recording, performing, touring and songwriting, Salgado is back with Damage Control, his first full band album in four years, and it’s packed with fresh, original material.

“Glorious and memorable… Salgado’s voice is center stage just as it should be. Highly recommended” – Blues & Rhythm UK

“Salgado’s vocals are soulful beauty. Fresh, unexpected, authentic, percolating…perfectly executed… simply delicious” – Living Blues

“Salgado inspires chills. Upbeat and original…poignant and wise with a great sense of humor” – Blues Music Magazine

Most fans of 80s music will recognize the unforgettable first 3 notes of the mega hit “I Can’t Wait”… the snappy bass line made legendary by my pal Gary Fountaine. The moment those notes are played, the room starts moving, no matter how large or small the venue.

Nu Shooz was Nominated for a Grammy in 1986 for Best New Artist. Gary recorded “Poolside” with Nu Shooz featuring the hit song “I Can’t Wait” for Atlantic Records, and received Gold Record status in 1987, embarking on an international 77 city tour, while making TV appearances on American Bandstand, Solid Gold, AM L.A., AM Northwest, Nick Rocks, and MTV.

We’ll chat Nu Shooz, session recording, the art of blending in for any type of gig, and doing it all with a smile on your face.

International 80s pop icons Valerie Day and John Smith of Nu Shooz will delight us with a “backstage” hang full of happy thoughts and virtual hugs. This incredible couple has been the exception to the rule for “no dating a bandmate”, having more than 4 decades of happy marriage and a successful rock n’roll career. I look forward to touring alongside them as much as I love taking the stage myself. SUCH wonderful humans, these two! Come play with us as we escape real life for a bit.
