Catfish Lou's Proudly Presents RAE GORDON

Friday, February 16th, 2018

Doors Open: 11:00am
Event Begins: 9pm

Band Website: Rae Gordon

"Better than I Was" (Written by Pat McDougall & Rae Gordon) was released in late 2017 and we are excited to showcase Rae Gordon's amazing talents, once again, on the Catfish Lou's stage!

Rae cut her singing teeth in the piano bars and comedy clubs of Los Angeles, and it gave her the sense of humor she brings to her show today.  She has played the big and little stages of northwest’s favorite clubs, dance floors and festivals helping to mold a signature sound that spans from a danceable get up and groove to a haunting slide tone that will make you want to find a back porch and sit a spell. Rae enjoys playing intimate venues where she can connect one on one with people in the audience to large festivals where she can connect with a whole community.  Her style and approachability hasn’t been contained in the northwest only, with performances in Montana, Nevada, Memphis, California and back.

Her much awaited first CD release of original tunes, written with former bandmate Gaddis Cavenah called “Blue Lemonade” debuted in 2013 to a sold out venue and rave reviews. It highlighted Gordon’s extensive range and ability to move effortlessly from soul to blues-infused gospel. In July of 2013, it hit the Billboard Charts for Blues at number 10 and held that spot for 2 weeks just a few notches down from Joe Bonamassa and Beth Hart and was in the semifinals for the Best Independent Recording for the Blues Foundation. The following CD in July 2015 Dirty Flowers, also written with Cavenah, is now getting airplay and was the 2015 Muddy Award Winner from the Cascade Blues Association for Best NW Recording.
