Headliner Curtis Salgado is the original co-singer in the Robert Cray Band who became the inspiration for John Belushi's Blues Brothers when John met Curtis while filming Animal House in Eugene, Oregon. Curtis joined Roomful of Blues in the early '80s and also Santana for a brief spell. Salgado has long been a major draw in the Pacific Northwest but lately has spread his name world-wide as a phenom vocalist and fine harmonica player. Over the last decade Curtis signed with Alligator Records and released four Blues Award-winning albums, while also picking up multiple Blues Awards as Entertainer of the Year and Soul Singer of the Year several times over. Curtis’s newest album is Fine By Me, which entered the Billboard Top Ten in the Blues Charts.
