Yours truly will be starting a swing dance Wednesday nights at Morrison Hotel at SE 7th and Morrison (9-11pm) starting Wednesday, September 22nd. This will be a swing guitar trio with Keith Brush on slap bass and Bret Malmquist on 2nd guitar. The music at this show will make an effort to rekindle the PK3 sound which we all love and miss!

Our good friend Don Viramontes from Swingshift Orchestra plans to start a night of jump blues and pre-war swing at Sway Bar (just next door to The Maiden) in the near future.

Thanks to all who came out and supported us at Blitz Ladd!

Cheers,
David

Bridgetown will be at Duff's this Friday night the 27th!

This is your last chance to hear the Sextet until late November- we're taking Autumn off while Scott settles into a cozy new routine at law school in Seattle (he'll be recalled to Portland for all future shows!). Duff's is still one of our favorite spots to play- it's got a relaxed, old-school vibe and a dance floor- not to mention bargain priced musical entertainment.

"[The Bridgetown Sextet] swan dives into the authentic sound of the 1920s, 30s, and 40s with a mix of New Orleans jazz, Prohibition-era Chicago, Harlem Stride piano and big-city swing. Led by young Portland jazz lions Andrew Oliver and Scott Kennedy, this band will curl your toes."

So what’s new for this year?
• Kim Massie and Solomon Douglas for Two Nights! – That’s right, they’re back this year with some of the best blues music you’ve ever heard. And to make things even cooler, they’re recording a live CD at this year’s ECBF! You can even pre-order the CD and we'll ship it to you as soon as it's complete!
• Friday Classes – We’ve added another day of classes on Friday so you now have three days of classes with the best blues instructors in the country!
• Progressive Track - For the first time ECBF will be offering a Progressive Track, with classes specifically designed to follow each other and build on the material from previous classes. The classes will be offered on Saturday and Sunday, allowing for late-comers to make sure they'll be up to speed. Since the classes do build on each other, we ask that you please remain in the Progressive Track for the duration of the instruction. If you are interested in taking the Progressive Track, please indicate so on your registration form. What makes ECBF's Progressive Track so incredible is that we are offering instruction from some of the most innovative, up and coming dance teachers from across the country. These teachers will be honing their craft in the Instructors Track during the week before the event to make sure that you get the best classes possible. And the best part? These top notch dancers and teachers will be in rotation with each of you to give you individualized instruction throughout the weekend.
• Instructors Track - The instructors track is a week-long intensive workshop for those who wish to take their teaching to the next level. Lead by Barry Douglas and Brenda CK, three days of masters level dance training culminate in a fourth in which you construct the curriculum you will teach to the progressive track. That's right, you'll have an opportunity to teach at the country's premiere blues event. And the couple with the highest performance will be invited back to be headliners for ECBF 2011. For more info about how to sign up, please email us at emeraldcityblues@gmail.com.
• Battle in Seattle – An all new competition format! Come out and represent your city! A hybrid of solo and team performance, this competition is open and requires a team of at least three people and no more than six people (only one team per city). Two teams will face off in competition and trade phrases between solo and partnered dancing, then end in a final phrase that is an all skate. So for example it would go Solo A, Solo B, Partnered A, Partnered B, Solo A, Solo B, Partnered A, Partnered B, All Skate. Sign up will be prior to the event - you'll need to email us - and is limited to 8 cities.
• Registration – We’ve changed the packages available so you can now register for only the latenights if you’re a night owl, only the regular dances if you’re an early bird, and only the workshops if you just want to work on your moves. And the best part? You can register for any combination of the three.

So remember, registration begins this Wednesday, at Noon, Pacific. Get yourself registered and we’ll see you Nov 12-14 in Seattle!
