CLATSKANIE — The Clatskanie Arts Commission presents the third performance of its Sunday Series, The Honky-Tonk Rebel, at 3 p.m. Sunday, May 15 at the Birkenfeld Theatre in the Clatskanie Cultural Center, located at 75 S. Nehalem St.

The Honky-Tonk Rebel — Mario Carboni — is a Portland musical performing artist specializing in an extensive repertoire of honky-tonk, blues, New Orleans jazz, country western, early rock ’n’ roll, and boogie woogie, featuring two keyboards, a trumpet, a harmonica and killer vocals.

His shows are high energy, and his talent does not go unnoticed. He plays to his audience and can perform just about any song requested.

“I started playing piano at the age of 9 months,” is what he’ll tell you, and since then he has performed over 3,000 shows in Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California and Arizona as a professional pianist and entertainer.

The Honky-Tonk Rebel has performed and recorded with Bakersfield’s Red Simpson, a legendary singer-songwriter who penned songs for Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Dwight Yoakum and Alan Jackson. In September, Carboni and Simpson entertained a crowd of 500 in Portland.

Carboni also regularly works with Western Swing Music Society Hall of Fame drummer Dennis Wall, opened for Wayne “The Train” Hancock last spring, and performed at the Alaska Salmonfest in 2015, which featured Emmy Lou Harris and Rodney Crowell.

He has studied with numerous teachers, including studying trumpet and piano at the Oregon jazz school at Mount Hood College.

Tickets are available at Hump’s Restaurant in Clatskanie, by calling Elsa at 503-728-3403 or at the box office the day of the performance. Seating is limited. Tickets are $10. Only cash or checks will be accepted.
