RJ Bloke is new to Portland, having recently relocated from Los Angeles,
where he was a well established songwriter, solo performer and
bandleader for Patrolled By Radar, in the Americana Roots Rock,
Alt-Country scene. In the folk-blues tradition of acoustic guitar and harmonica,
he performs originals with memorable melodic hooks and thought provoking
poetic lyrics, as well as reinterpreted choice cover songs. He has toured
the US extensively, both solo, and with his band.

He has recorded several independent full length albums, as well as
releases for Knitting Factory Records (Brooklyn, NY), and
Nomad Eel Records (San Pedro, CA). His songs have
been featured in numerous film and TV productions, including
"Shameless" (HBO), and most recently "Breakwater" (Hulu).

All ages welcome.
