Harmonica specialist and vocalist Dave Gofreed of Red Bean Blues recently joined forces with John Orr to create this new blues duo. Dave was influenced by Charlie Sayles play in Washington DC as a young kid. Dave felt blues in his bones. He got his first gig when he was twenty two and then became a regular in the Blues club and recording scene of Baltimore in the late 90s.
Dave then established himself in the Blues scene of Portland Oregon starting in 2002 until his schooling and work in physical therapy called him away.
Dave has played at the Trails End Saloon in Oregon City, the Rose Garden, Hemp festival, Melodie Ballroom, and the Rose Festival. He has played or jammed with Big Bill Morganfield (son of blues legend Muddy Waters), Curtis Selgado, and Robbie Laws, among many. He is a valued addition to the North Coast music scene. John says "Dave is the real deal.'
