Announcing our next show: Mindy Gledhill on March 29

We are very pleased to announce that singer/songwriter Mindy Gledhill will be performing for us on Tuesday, March 29, 7:30 p.m., at The Venetian Theater in Hillsboro.  This is the first time that Jim Band Music has been able to present Mindy, but we have been encouraged by many of you to bring her out so we know that she already has a following among you.  Mindy will be performing with her band, and will perform songs from her two albums: Feather in the Wind and her newest: Anchor.

For those of you who are not familiar with Mindy, we encourage you to visit her web site to sample some of her songs, see some videos, and get acquainted with her.  Accompanying Mindy will be Debra Fotheringham, who HAS been on our stage before and is a wonderful musician in her own right.

Some of you are no doubt wondering - “Why is this show on a Tuesday night instead of on a weekend?”  It turns out that Mindy is doing some touring in the Pacific Northwest, and this is the date that worked best for her tour schedule.  So, we hope you will block out the Tuesday night on your calendar, purchase some tickets, and bring the whole family to join us for another great show in a wonderful venue.

Here are all the particulars:

Ryan Shupe Records a Video Promo for Our Show

A Gift From Kurt Bestor

Last night we enjoyed a wonderful holiday concert presented by Emmy award winner Kurt Bestor, along with vocalist Jenny Jordan Frogley, guitarist Michael Dowdle and multi-instrumentalist Daron Bradford.  These four fabulous musicians were backed up by a local chamber orchestra organized by Sharon Ogden.

Each year Kurt composes a brand new piece of Christmas music, and we were fortunate enough to be the very first audience to hear this year’s composition.  Kurt would like all who attended the show, and even those who were not able to, to enjoy a complimentary copy of this music.  Click to download your own PDF version of “The First Christmas Day“.

Don’t forget - our next concert will be on Saturday, January 29, featuring the incomparable Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband.  Tickets are on sale now.

A Kurt Bestor Christmas Sells Out!

Wow - we sure wish Hillsboro’s Venetian Theater had a couple of hundred more seats, because we are pretty sure we could fill them if it did.  Unfortunately, the capacity is only 380 seats, and A Kurt Bestor Christmas is now sold out. We tried hard to figure out a way to add an additional performance, but the show is just too big and complicated to make that work.  We are very sorry if you were not able to get tickets, but we do have some good news.

Ryan Shupe and The Rubberband has recently released a new album, and we are thrilled to be able to present them on Saturday, January 29, at The Venetian.  Tickets are already on sale, and can be purchased here.

We hope you will take advantage of this great opportunity to bring your whole family out to a show that everyone loves.

Announcing our annual Christmas concert!

We are very pleased to announce that this year’s Christmas show will feature the amazing, Emmy-award-winning Kurt Bestor!

Kurt is known internationally as a prolific composer who has produced more than 40 film scores, themes for national TV programs and high-profile commercials. For example, it is Bestor’s music that has introduced NFL Monday Night Football, National Geographic Explorer; TBS’s Wild! Life Adventures and the IMAX film The Great American West. Kurt is also a dynamic and much loved performer, delivering his popular holiday shows for over 16 years to sold-out audiences throughout the western United States.

This show, taking place at 7:30 pm on November 27th in the beautiful Venetian Theater, will be the most extravagant show Jim Band Music has ever produced. Kurt is bringing some amazing musicians with him, including renowned guitar player Michael Dowdle, multi-instrumentalist Daron Bradford, and vocalist Jenny Jordon Frogley who absolutely blew us all away with her vocal chops in our show last May. Also appearing will be a chamber string ensemble made up of some of Portland’s finest musicians.

This will be a show that your whole family, and your Thanksgiving guests, will absolutely love. Because Kurt’s shows routinely sell out, we urge you to purchase your tickets early. This incredible package of uplifting entertainment is just $20 per seat, with all seating general admission. And to make it even easier on families, we are offering a 20% discount (just $16 per ticket) when five or more tickets are purchased at one time. We are confident you will not find a better entertainment value anywhere.

Don’t delay! Click here to purchase your tickets for A Kurt Bestor Christmas.

Supporting Risa Whitaker’s Battle With Cancer

We recently learned about a lovely young woman, Risa Whitaker, and the battle with cancer that has been suddenly thrust upon her. Risa is a graduating senior at Pioneer Heritage Academy, an enthusiastic member of the In Motion Ballroom Dance Team, and a wonderful friend to many. While the diagnosis of cancer is clear, none of the experts (including Doernbecher and John Hopkins) can figure out what kind of cancer it is or how to treat it. Right now Risa and her family need our prayers, love and support, and help with the mounting medical bills - close to $20,000 at this point.

As our way of helping, Jim Band Music is donating 1/3 of revenue from tickets sold between Saturday, May 22 and the day of our next show. This is the perfect opportunity to treat your family to the excitement of live popular music in a safe, family-friendly venue while also doing your part to help the Whitakers.

Here are all the essential details:

What: Daniel Beck and Jenny Jordan Frogley in concert

When: Friday, May 28 Doors open at 7:00 pm, concert starts at 7:30 pm

Where: The Venetian Theater in Hillsboro (253 E. Main Street)

How: Purchase tickets online at www.JimBand.com. Tickets are $15 each, but there is a 20% discount when 5 or more seats are purchased at one time. All seating is general admission.

We really hope a lot of you will make the effort to come and join us for this very special show.
