Cascade Street Rhythm n Blues

keeping the rhythm rolling into the night.

The current Cascade Street line up is a power trio consisting of Jay Williams, Jim Gillon, and Phil Shirley. This hard working 3 piece serves up a Spicy Funk, R&B, Original, Americana gumbo toned just right. Occasionally the opportunity arises to play with other artist such as Shelia Carlisle, Sax/Flute/Harmonica Man Jimi Davis , Phil Comb’s of the Phil Harmonic Band, or other musicians that walk down Cascade Street.

The original Cascade Street Blues Band was formed in Spring of 1993. Founding members: George Scott (Keyboards), Jim Gillon (Drums), Phil Shirley (Guitar/Harmonica/Vocals), Steve Folger (Bass). The band has played steadily throughout the 90's and is still going strong. Now simply named Cascade Street, the band plays a mix of Electric Americana, Originals, Swampy funk and R&B, and they still throw in some low down dirty blues when mood hits’em. If you enjoy dancing or just sitting back listening to a steady rolling band then you need to travel down to Cascade Street where you can leave your worries behind..
