Submitted By: qulwater@msn.com – Click to email about this post
Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy is pleased to be hosting Rick Estrin and the Nightcats on June 23rd at NCRD for a high energy show that is sure to cure the blues.

ALL proceeds from the Rick Estrin show will benefit the “finishing touches” needed for the new Health Center.

Blues vocalist, harmonica master and songwriting legend Rick Estrin, leader of the musically fearless, wildly entertaining, award-winning band Rick Estrin & The Nightcats, doesn’t like to talk much about his own musical superpowers. But ask him about the Nightcats—multi-instrumentalist/musical mastermind/producer Christoffer “Kid” Andersen, keyboardist/organ wizard/bass player Lorenzo Farrell and endlessly creative drummer Derrick “D’Mar” Martin—and he’ll be happy to sing their praises. “This band is killer. I’m enjoying this all more than ever,” says the man who’s been performing and recording professionally since the early 1970s. “It’s a blessing—there’s so much energy, so much collaboration. The band is just so good right now. And the live show is better than ever.” Living Blues calls Rick Estrin & The Nightcats “a terrific blues band with a real character for a front man,” continuing, “Clever, well-crafted songs framed by first-flight musicianship…hugely entertaining, intelligently conceived and executed roots rock with a wickedly cool and otherworldly twist on tradition. Estrin’s harp work is masterful.”

As an added treat members of the NKN choir will perform a short opening set prior to the Nightcats show.

Don’t miss the show on June 23rd at the NCRD Performing Arts Center. A pre-concert wine and beer reception will begin at 2:00 pm. The music starts at 3:00 pm
