Elvis' Co-Headlining tour with Daryl Hall, will kick off on June 2nd, at the McMenamins Edgefield Amphitheater in Troutdale, OR. Elvis will be joined by The Imposters and Charlie Sexton again.
Tickets are now onsale here.
This will be Elvis' first appearance at this vineyard venue with its own golf courses. The venue itself is outdoors and set on a sloping lawn surrounded by trees. It has a capacity of 7,000 with "beer, wine, cider, spirits, food and ice cream within steps" - therefore expect there to be noise from the bars and food outlets.
Tickets come in three types: VIP: $314.50-$394.50, Reserved: $159.50-$199.50 Advance, General Admission: $84.50 Advance. VIP presumably gives you a better grade of lawn chair. The venue website warns "that blankets and chairs are no longer allowed in the venue" - unless you pay to hire them from the venue, which seems like an unnecessary additional cost ($10 per chair).
The venue website has this to say about Elvis:
"Elvis Costello is a writer and part-time musician who made a number of records in the 20th Century, some of which are still remembered today.
He was born in London and raised there and in Liverpool.
Costello is the composer or lyricist of over six hundred published titles, including fifteen songs co-written with Paul McCartney and renowned collaborations with Allen Toussaint, the Brodsky Quartet and T Bone Burnett.
Costello’s songwriting alliance with Burt Bacharach, began in 1995 with the song, “God Give Me Strength”, which led to the 1998 album, “Painted From Memory”, before their work was collected in 2023, on the four-album set, “The Songs Of Bacharach & Costello”.
Elvis Costello songs have been recorded by Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Chet Baker, Dusty Springfield, Solomon Burke, George Jones, Linda Ronstadt and Bjork, while among the artists with whom he has written songs are Loretta Lynn, Carole King, Rosanne Cash and Kris Kristofferson and his wife, Diana Krall.
Working purely as lyricists, Costello has has provided words for the music of Billy Strayhorn, Oscar Peterson and for twelve Charles Mingus compositions and as a composer, set twelve unpublished lyrics by Bob Dylan.
2024 will see opening of “A Face In Crowd”, Sarah Ruhl’s stage adaptation of Budd Schulberg story for which Elvis Costello composed the songs.
“A Face In The Crowd” will open at the Young Vic in London on INSERT DATE, directed by Kwame Kwei-Armah and produced by Adam Kenwright.
Elvis Costello is the author of “Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink”, a more than six-hundred page memoir which has been translated into six languages. He has received a range of awards over his 45 years old career of which induction into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame is probably the most significant.
Although he holds two honorary doctorates in music – one from the University of Liverpool and another from the New England Conservatory- Elvis Costello is known for playing the guitar with almost not regard for common sense.
Costello currently performs with The Imposters; his long time companions, drummer, Pete Thomas and pianist, Steve Nieve, bassist of twenty-three years standing, Davey Faragher and their special guest, Texas guitarist, Charlie Sexton."
The show starts at 6pm, with entry to the venue from 4:30pm, so don't be late.
