Blues Band Draws
Crowds, Raises Money for Hurricane Victims

Report From Oroville,
Washington (RNS) - Oregon native Joe Horn has been at it since he could
hold a guitar. He's recognized as one of the best in the Northwest and
lately has been drawing encore requests wherever he performs. Yet being
good at the guitar is only one of Joe's passions. For him and his family
band "Triple Threat", people matter too. They've taken the
stage from Oregon to Washington with one thing in mind: to raise money
for the victims of recent hurricanes.
"Money from
all album sales will be matched for the hurricane relief," Joe told
the crowd at the Rendezvous
Rhythm and Blues Festival in Oroville,
Washington over Labor Day Weekend. "Whatever you do, we will
match." His challenge was met with generosity from the
festival crowd and the band's albums selling out by the case. The
event raised hundreds of dollars for the American Red Cross.
| Other
musicians from across the west coast were also on hand at the Rendezvous
Rhythm and Blues Festival to sing
and play their music, including Oregon favorites Too Slim and the
Taildraggers, Coyote Blues, and Ben Rice and The Youth of Blues.
Particularly strong
response came from the Rendezvous crowd when Joe, referring to the
tragedy in New Orleans, said, "This song has never had more
meaning than it does today" before launching his band Triple
Threat into a wild and unforgettable performance of ZZ Top's
"Jesus just left Chicago and he's bound
for New Orleans."
The
song hailed by many attendees as the top performance during the
festival--one that brought the crowd from their seats cheering
"More! More!"--was Triple Threat's performance of Jimi
Hendrix's legendary song, "Voodoo Child". A video clip
of the band's version of this song can be downloaded from their
website here. |
