Bret Lucich
One-man band engages audience @ Holiday Inn
Bret Lucich is a man of many faces; the face worn best, however, is that of a professional entertainer. A few hours spent at one of his many local PDX shows will take you on a guest ride through time and offer a little taste of every one of your favorite bands.
Bret Lucich
Born in Oregon City, Lucich is a local musician working as a house entertainer for The Salishan Lodge for eight solid years. He has his act down. A starting set opens with Alan Jackson's Its Five O'Clock Somewhere and multiple segues into Willie Nelson then Ray Charles; they are all in the opening number.
Lucich performs his task with an unstoppable force, keeping the audience engaged at all times, Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 5-8 p.m. at the Wilsonville Holiday Inn. Guests are routinely asked to take part in the live music show, performing with one of the many instruments waiting on the stage.
