Today we get to do what we love to do and that’s bring in someone who curates one of our major music festivals and let them tell us about everyone in it. We’re at Catfish Lou’s at 2460 NW 24th Ave. They won Muddy Awards in 2017 and 2018 for Best Venue, as you may know. With me is Nicholas Harris, who is one of the founders of the Soul’d Out Festival and is back this year to tell us all about the performers. He also books Jack London Review in downtown Portland, which has grown into THE place to discover national and international Jazz, Hip Hop, R&B talent and also a home for folks like Mel Brown. Nicholas is always engaging, he’s enthusiastic about this festival, as he should be. It starts in mid-April. Let’s turn Nicholas loose on the lineup.
