Don't expect the ordinary from singer-songwriter Amanda Richards, who brings her alt-country/zombie show (yes, you read that right) to Portland for what will surely be one of the most unique concert experiences you'll see. Richards' music covers a wide and diverse field, ranging from sensuous ballads and old-school rockabilly to laugh-out-loud country satire. But don't mistake her playfulness for a lack of chops -- at the age of 28, she's got more than 200 songs and six Grammy nominations to her credit. Don't let the zombies scare you, and come out to see why Richards' true calling remains the live performance, where she proves, night after night, that she was indeed born for the stage.

Little Feat's Bill Payne Plays the Alberta Rose Theatre

Full Price:
$25.00
Our Price:
$12.50

Bill Payne, accomplished keyboardist and co-founder of legendary rock band Little Feat, brings his solo act to the Alberta Rose Theatre. Payne has created a very personal and interactive show, Tracing Footsteps - A Journal of Music, Photography and Tales from the Road, which combines stories from his life in music, solo performances of classics like "Truck Stop Girl" and "Oh Atlanta," a sampling of his art photography and a Q&A with the audience. The Hooligans will both open and back up Payne later in the show, while special guest Dennis McNally, longtime official publicist for the Grateful Dead, will also be on hand to share stories from his Deadhead days. As Little Feat won't be touring this year, this is a rare opportunity to see Payne play at the height of his powers. Learn More

Great venue. Amanda is clearly very talented, but zombie theme didn't completely work. Opening band, Twisted Whistle, stole the show.

Just enough scary and gore to balance out the humor. Fun times! Wonderful music.

Description

The music of Amanda Richards covers a wide and diverse field -- from sensuous ballads to old-school rockabilly; soulful bossa-nova to laugh-out-loud country satire. In 2004, at the age of twenty-one she released Not Always Sexy as her first album followed by Live at Mississippi Studios in 2006, which was hailed as "spellbinding across the spectrum, and a standout whose star is on the rise" by the Portland Tribune.

In 2009, Amanda released Who Has Your Heart to great reviews and a growing fan base, with music from the album being picked up by radios stations of different genres. Her latest studio album, the post-apocalyptic, zombie-themed Play Dead (2010), was praised by the Portland Mercury as “sweet and enduring, despite Richards’s bloody lyrical content. The end of days never sounded so sweet."
