An Evening of Cabaret with Albert Reda
Our audiences are familiar with Albert Reda from his appearances as bass player and vocalist with blues guitarist Terry Robb. This time, however, he'll be doing a solo show on piano, showcasing old favorites, some originals, audience requests, and a chance for some dancing.
Albert has been in the heart of West Coast music for forty years.
Beginning in 1977, and throughout most of 1978, Albert performed regularly in San Francisco Music and Comedy clubs with Donald Freda as the duo Reda and Freda. During this time, they opened for, or shared the bill with many comics, including a young Robin Williams and Dana Carvey.
In 1979 he joined the seminal west coast punk band Mutants, and beginning in 1980 began performing regularly in the traveling oldies act Cruisin', playing the bass, piano, and singing. This band would play a "History of Rock & Roll" type show in clubs in the S.F. Bay area. When they weren't performing in the Bay Area, Cruisin' could be found traveling throughout Northern California on Oldies tours with Wolfman Jack and backing up groups like the Drifters and the Coasters.
In 1988 Albert moved to Portland, OR and for the past 25 years has been playing with Northwest Blues artists. He's received 11 "Muddy" awards from the Cascade Blues Association and has been inducted into their hall of fame for winning the award for Bass 3 years' running in the 1990's.
