Last Sunday evening I had the pleasure of attending a house concert featuring two great acoustic blues guitarists: piedmont blues virtuoso Mary Flower and 'A' list blues player Alan Hager. If you're not familiar with house concerts they are just what the name sounds like - a concert held in a private home. In this case it was the home of Matt Miner in northeast Portland. Matt had been putting on concerts for a number of years. The show was wonderful. Mary opened with some original instrumentals both old and new. If you've never heard her you owe it to yourself to check out her music - www.maryflower.com. Soon she was joined by Alan for a couple of duets. Alan then took the stage solo for some amazing playing including an instrumental medley of songs associated with Eric Clapton and some Muddy Waters. They finished the show with a couple of duets. Both are world class players. Getting to here then together in someone's living room was a real treat. The show was followed by a gourmet meal topping off a great evening.
