“The Rae Gordon Band had the audience up on their feet
stomping and clapping with appreciation.”– Blues Blast
Magazine
“When the band launches into the more rollicking numbers,
hands start waving.”– Willamette Week
Wrong Kind Of Love, the Rae Gordon Band’s follow-up to 2017’s
award-winning Better Than I Was, offers up ten original blues- soul songs produced by Kivett Bednar and engineered and mixed by Jimi Bott at his studio Roseleaf Recording. The CD
covers a wide gamut of styles, from lowdown barroom blues to dance-worthy funk, from heart-tugging soul ballad to slide drenched rage rocker, from minor-key blues angst to uplifting soul anthem.
The recording features the regular members of the 7-piece Rae Gordon Band: Rae on lead vocals, Kivett Bednar on guitar & vocals, Pat McDougall on keyboards & vocals, Ed Pierce on drums, Joseph Conrad on bass, Allan Kalik on trumpet & horn arrangements, and Scott Franklin on
saxophone. Six songs were written by Pat McDougall, three co- written by Rae and Pat, and one by Portland guitarist Rod Furlott. The multi-award-winning Rae Gordon Band serves up a potent
stew of gritty blues and heartfelt soul – soaring vocals with searing guitar counterpoint, high-energy horns and a hard- driving rhythm section with the power of a freight train.
In January 2017 the band took 3rd place at the International Blues Challenge; finals judge Walter Trout said afterwards, “I gave her a score of 10, the best score you can give. She made
an incredible impression.” The band’s third CD Better Than I Was has received airplay in the U.S., Canada, Australia and the UK and appeared on the Living Blues Radio Chart and the Roots
Music Report Soul Blues Album Chart. The CD also won a Muddy Award for Best Northwest Recording from the Cascade Blues Association and the band received the Best
Contemporary Blues Act Muddy Award.
The Rae Gordon Band has appeared at the Waterfront Blues Festival, Winthrop Rhythm & Blues Festival, Big Blues Bender in Las Vegas, Bronze Blues & Brews Festival, Bonita Blues
Festival in Florida, the Iron Mountain Music Festival in Mission, B.C. and others.
