It's a vast water filled area where the Antioch River, the Old River, The San Joaquin River and the Sacramento River all meet up to pour into the San Francisco Bay. His family hails from the hills of Buffalo Valley Oklahoma via Arkansas on his fathers side and Amarillo Texas on his mothers side.Jody Carroll grew up hearing whispers of old American music on the radio or from his fathers guitar. His father started him off with a couple Willie Nelson songs and plenty of AM country radio. His grandfather, who also played guitar when he was young, had come from the remote rural Buffalo Valley hills of Oklahoma 20 years earlier with his family in tow. He and his brothers had been running whiskey in those hills one to many times and had been effectively asked to leave the state by the law. JC's grandfather left town and made his way over to California and then up to the bay area for work in the ship yards of Port Chicago. Jody grew up in the 70's and 80's working on the families Northern California farm, building barns, riding horses, drawing, learning music from old blues, folk, Rock and Soul records.His first guitar was his father's steel guitar that had languished for many years up in the attic until he found it. After secretly playing it for a while, he asked his father to teach him some old folk tunes that he had played in his early years and some lap slide licks. He took to it like a fish devouring all he could learn from the family record collection. After many years of playing in garage rock bands, he happened upon the Harry Smith Anthology of American Folk Music and the recordings of Robert Johnson. That sealed the deal as it where, he took off into the back woods of old weird America and never looked back.​In addition to music, he has always been a very active visual artist. Jody holds a Masters degree in Fine Art with and emphasis on painting and has taught at the university level. His work is held within many private collections.Recently he was brought to Japan by label BSMF Records out of Osaka for a critically acclaimed 5 city cd release tour for Old Blood. He toured 5 cities to great acclaim and even learned a couple magic trick's while there.* Represented in Japan on record label BSMF Records out of Osaka."A new blues artist we now can't live without...Jody Carroll does not play the blues so much as he inhabits them, with a definite Americana tinge. His dark and haunting tales embody roots music to its fullest.. a voice that signifies he’s seen and lived it all, he takes the blues to a different and intriguing destination.."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sin0sEeoxfghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Qb27Hg3xE0&list=TLGGfgCxVA2l-3IyNTEyMjAyNQ&t=50s - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/portland/jody-carroll/100001997795469027 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, art, fine-arts, magic-show, performances, live-music, trips-adventures - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: All Ages - Door Time: 5:30 PM - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Artichoke Community Music - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 10.24, max: 23.36, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Portland - **state**: OR - **country**: United States - **location**: Artichoke Community Music - **lat**: 45.4997881 - **long**: -122.6454883 - **full address**: Artichoke Community Music, 2007 Southeast Powell Boulevard, Portland, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Jody Carroll - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/d5194530f9e3c1d0072aeeb97a547782160d1d101f900d927f155f621a582328-rimg-w1200-h900-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg?v=1786845432 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Jody Carroll being held? - **A:** Jody Carroll takes place on Sun, 27 Sep, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Sun, 27 Sep, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Artichoke Community Music, 2007 Southeast Powell Boulevard, Portland, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Jody Carroll? - **A:** Jody Carroll is organized by Artichoke Community Music. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
