HOPELESS JACK & THE HANDSOME DEVIL (Portland)
A raucous and raw element of rock & roll grounded in the roots of soul and blues. Hopeless Jack (lead/slide-guitar, vocals) and Smilin' Pete (drums) form the power duo of the Rose City's strip club filled, liquor sodden nightlife working-class city we call Portland Oregon. They draw their sound from such greats as Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Seasick Steve, Scott H. Biram, Johnny Cash, Junior Kimbrough, Gun Club, among others. The boys play some kind of high-speed, All-American, howling roots, whiskey-drenched rock and roll. They bang it out with all of the frenzy of the Stooges combined with a shock-and-awe strut gleaned from the early-era bluesmen. The live performance is a key aspect of the band’s sound...come see for yourself!
