What happens when you combine the DNA of some of Portland’s top blues-based acts? You get Dan Berkery and The PDX Red Hots. Born from the legacy of Rose City Kings, Kolvane, and Woodbrain, this collective brings together the city’s finest blues veterans under the leadership of frontman Dan Berkery. With a world-class rhythm section and soul-stirring vocals, their music bridges the gap between nostalgia and the future, performing fan-favorite anthems alongside soulful new tracks from Berkery’s latest self-titled solo release.
Led by acclaimed singer-songwriter and guitarist Dan Berkery (founder of both the Kings and Kolvane), the ensemble features an elite lineup: Jimi Bott (drums), Steve Kerin (keys), David Lipkind (harmonica), Greg Hyatt (bass), and Katy Oberg (vocals/percussion), along with special guests. Their high-energy performances showcase fresh material from Berkery’s self-titled new album alongside the classic hits that made his previous bands Portland staples.
