Swan Songs Presents: Albert Reda and Alan Hager

A dynamic mix of timeless originals and carefully selected blues covers, $23.36 includes service fee.

Alan Hager first picked up a guitar at age ten and became a blues and jazz prodigy. During the 1980s, he toured as part of a classical guitar duo and took up teaching, which he still does. But he never fell out of love with the blues, especially the old Delta sounds of Charlie Patton, Tommy Johnson, and Skip James.

Albert Reda has played his bass and shared his vocals with Northwest music artists such as Ellen Whyte, Bill Rhodes, John Bunzow, Jon Koonce, Lloyd Jones, Duffy Bishop, Terry Robb, Kim Field, and many others.
