Ben Rice & The Portland Hustle

 —  —

Billy Blues, 7115 NE Hazel Dell Ave, Vancouver, WA

Riding high from a head-turning 2022 that included touring with ZZ Top, Ben Rice and the Hustle cruise into Tuesday nights at Billy Blues Bar & Grill, one of the Portland/Vancouver area’s premier entertainment destinations. The Hustle is an expansion of the trio Rice has brought to venues and festivals both national and international in recent years, adding keyboardist Pat McDougall, trumpeter John Dover and tenor saxophonist Pete Petersen.

“Building a larger ensemble gives us the ability to be more creative with new and existing songs,” Rice said. “We can work with dynamics and add harmonic interest. It all adds up to a more engaging show for our audiences.”

Billy Blues Bar & Grill, the new Tuesday night home of Ben Rice and the Hustle, offers thoughtfully-curated live music in an upscale yet relaxed setting, with state-of-the-art sound and lighting to ensure a top-notch experience for audiences.
