Freak Mountain Ramblers @ McMenamins
November 11, 2016 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
FreeOne of McMenamins’ favorite musical traditions, the Great Northwest Music Tour has delivered the finest regional and national talent to our historic hotels for over a decade. With its early start time, family-friendly setting and no admission charge, it has become one of the best ways to catch both rising acts and longtime favorites.
We’ve run well over a hundred of these one-of-a-kind music tours through our hotel properties… join us as we raise a toast to hundreds more to come!
Portland’s own Freak Mountain Ramblers bring a rollicking brand of rock ‘n’ roll, bluegrass, alternative country and country-blues to every show they play.
With a lineup including three members of the inimitable and notorious Holy Modal Rounders / Clamtones amalgamation of the ’70s and ’80s, Freak Mountain Ramblers has its roots in the underbelly of the alternative music scene that existed at that time, both in Portland and across the country. The Freaks have accumulated a loyal following in the Portland area by dependably creating beauty and bedlam at their live shows, and by producing CDs that successfully translate that energy and excitement to disc. Four lead singer/songwriters, each with a distinct character and approach to life and music, provide a dynamic show that packs the rooms with some of the most interesting music fans around.
