All Ages

Pam Taylor •  NW Women in R&B “Tribute to Sister Rosetta Tharpe” • Sister Mercy

Sonny Hess and NW Women in R&B pay tribute to the pioneering gospel/blues singer and guitarist, Sister Rosetta Tharpe. South Carolina’s up-and-coming Pam Taylor melds Americana-roots, country, and reggae influences into a modern take on the blues.  Portland’s SISTER MERCY, fronted by mesmerizing vocalist April Brown, serve up high-energy rockin’ blues.

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.
