The Oregon Mandolin Orchestra returns to the Walters stage, along with special guests How Long Jug Band, to celebrate and honor the dynamic contributions of Black composers and performers have added to the catalog of mandolin music. The How Long Jug Band, members of the Jug Band Hall of Fame, will take the audience back to a time when musicians regularly made their own instruments, linking blues and ragtime to early jazz. Meanwhile, the Orchestra will perform music spanning eras and genres, including songs from the “King of Ragtime” Scott Joplin, early jazz and ragtime composer James Reese Europe, pianist Fats Waller, orchestra leader Duke Ellington, and the Dallas String Band.

As a recipient of a City of Hillsboro Performance Series Grant, the proceeds from this performance go directly to the Orchestra with a portion going to the Hillsboro Arts & Culture Endowment.

Join us for an evening of hot salsa and cool drinks! Start with a salsa lesson from Lines Dance Academy from 7 to 8 pm, then try out your new moves when Son de Cuba performs on the Walters stage from 8 to 10 pm.

Son de Cuba is composed of musicians from Chile, Mexico, Cuba, and the U.S. playing a wide range of music, including salsa, timba, son, merengue, bolero, cumbia, bachata, and Latin jazz. Bringing together their roots in Latin, African, and jazz rhythms, the group blends this vast knowledge into classic and modern Latin songs, all while exuding such energy and joy that you’ll want to jump up and dance to the beat.

Event starts at 7 pm. Concessions available for purchase.

Coming straight out of the Jazz Age, Good Co. brings a growling speakeasy sound with an added dash of electronic funk so desperately needed in today’s hectic workaday world. Brassy, flashy, and always a little sassy, Good Company reimagines modern music by flipping it on its head as it takes on the sound and style of the past. Traversing funk, pop, electro swing, and everything danceable, the band will have you tapping your feet and dancing in the aisles as they skillfully blend modern music with the glitz and glamour of the 1920s. Grab your dance shoes and join us for an evening that can only be described as the “bee’s knees.”
