Helpless

The Portland music community has always been defined by camaraderie and generosity as well as amazing talent, and that community deserves a celebration every bit as great as The Last Waltz, the party The Band threw for its musical community back in '76. So the Saturday after Thanksgiving, many of Portland's favorite players are joining together at the Alberta Rose Theatre for The Next Waltz - paying tribute to that legendary concert, and raising funds for people lacking adequate food and health care via the Jeremy Wilson Foundation and Oregon Food Bank.

Performers at The Next Waltz on 11/26 include Dolorean's Al James, performing Bob Dylan's climactic set; Holcombe Waller, singing Neil Young's classic "Helpless"; The Parson Red Heads, recreating the Staples Singers' thrilling harmonies on The Band's "The Weight"; and 2011 Oregon Music Hall of Fame inductee Jeremy Wilson, formerly of the Dharma Bums, whose own struggle with illness inspired him to create his Foundation for musicians in need of health care support. Also appearing are Casey Neill, Little Sue, Joe McMurrian, James Low and many others. Tickets are just $17 in advance and $20 day of show. Advance tickets can be purchased online at AlbertaRoseTheatre.com, by phone at (503) 764-4131, or in person at the Alberta Rose Theatre box office, 3000 NE Alberta Street. Concertgoers are also encouraged to bring two non-perishable food items to donate to the Oregon Food Bank. The full list of performers for the 11/26 event are:
