Whistlin' Rufus musicians bring a range of experience to the stage, with their collective roots in Classical, Irish, Folk, Bluegrass, Rock and Roll, and Jazz music. When you stir it all together, combining their exciting knack for arrangements, their three- and four-part vocal harmonies, original ballads and toe tapping fiddle tunes, you've got Whistlin' Rufus.
Whistlin' Rufus features Pat Connell on mandolin, guitar, and vocals; Ritchie Wernick on guitar, harmonica, percussion, and vocals; John Hubbard on cello, Irish Tenor Banjo, and vocals; and Nat O'Neal on fiddle and vocals. John Hubbard is also an instructor at CMC, teaching the cello and the Summer Chamber Music program
The Family Friday Concert series is proudly sponsored by Larkins Vacura, LLP, Trial Attorneys, and features popular local musicians. Volunteer run, all proceeds from the concerts benefit scholarships and other programs at the Community Music Center.
The Community Music Center (CMC) is a Portland Parks & Recreation facility in partnership with an all-volunteer non-profit organization that raises money to help subsidize tuition fees at the school. Benefit concerts such as this one support a need-based scholarship fund that enables students like Becky Anderson to follow their dreams in music.
