The Norman Sylvester Band Biography
Northwest Original Blues and R&B
The Norman Sylvester Band started performing in the Portland Area in 1985. The Band has shared the stage with BB King, Buddy Guy, James Cotton, Junior Wells, Otis Clay, Tower of Power,Five Blind Boys of Alabama, Peter Frampton and many more National Touring Stars.
Norman "The Boogie Cat" Sylvester was born in Bonita Louisiana September 16, 1945. He and his family boarded a Union Pacific Train for work in the North in the Fall of 1957 when he was 12 years old, but his familie's Southern Traditions have never left him.
Norman is one of the most engaging showmen around the Northwest. weddings, festivals, corporate parties and club venues all call on his band for spectacular music and entertainment! Influenced from his Southern Baptist early years and the Gospel Quartet his father, Mack Sylvester, toured with (they were as sharp with their fashion as they were in their harmony), these examples show in Sylvester's own performance style.
Norman is a "family and community first" musician. He has mentored many young talents in our area, Patrick Lamb, Jolie Clausen, Joseph Konty, Alden Harris and Gunnar Roads to name a few. He teaches through grants and Ethos "A History of American Music" in our local schools. Sylvester and his band also use their power of music to perform for many benefits,charities and individuals in need.
