All Ages

Mary Flower & Doug Cox • Ron Artis II & the Truth • Too Slim & the Taildraggers • Karen Lovely

Acclaimed, up-and-coming Hawaiian bluesman Ron Artis II & the Truth, favorites at both Soul’d Out and Pickathon festivals last year, are joined by the rockin’ Too Slim & the Taildraggers, Blues Award nominated blues vocalist/songwriter Karen Lovely and her band, and the acclaimed acoustic-blues virtuosos Mary Flower (Portland) and Doug Cox (British Columbia).

Cruise the beautiful Willamette River and hear the blues in an intimate setting on the Portland Spirit. A no-host hors d'oeuvres buffet and full bar are available on all cruises.

• All Blues Cruises board from the seawall at S.W. Salmon and Naito Parkway, in front of Salmon Street Springs Fountain, just north of the Oregonian Front Porch Stage.
• PLEASE BRING YOUR PHOTO ID. All passengers 18 years of age and older must present photo ID upon boarding. All carry-on bags are subject to inspection, and passengers may be photographed.
• The cruises will head south up the Willamette River to Oregon City, and/or north past the Port of Portland docks.
• Afternoon cruises boards 2:30 pm, returning to dock at 5 pm (all ages).
• Single-Day Ticket holders will be given a pass allowing festival re-entry after the cruise.

Don’t miss the boat! Purchase your ticket before the festival begins. These popular Blues Cruises sell out quickly.
