PORTLAND — Five-time Grammy-winning bassist Victor Wooten — best known for his work with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Stanley Clarke and Dave Matthews — will bring his new band to Port City Music Hall on Friday, June 29.

In between intense touring with The Flecktones, Wooten has been recording and mixing a new CD that will be released in two versions simultaneously in September.

“Words & Tones” contains 13 songs (11 new original tracks and two cover songs), all of which feature a female vocalist. Vocalists include longtime friends Saundra Williams and Divinty Roxx , as well as Wooten’s brothers and children. New collaborations include a vocal performance from Me’shell Ndegeocello, a duet featuring Joey Kibble and fiery percussion from “Pedrito” Martinez.

“Sword & Stone” is the instrumental rendition of the recordings. To make things more interesting, Wooten has added new arrangements, solos, instruments and musicians to this CD. Each CD features a few songs not found on the other.

On this tour, Krystal Peterson, a young singing sensation from Cincinnati, will make her first appearance with the Victor Wooten band. Also joining Wooten are longtime cohorts J. D. Blair, Derico Watson, Anthony Wellington, Steve Bailey and Dave Welsch. These touring musicians also join Wooten on the new CDs. 

Each musician will multitask, switching instruments midsong, resulting in a part choreographed and part improvised display of musicianship and showmanship. Instruments include bass, acoustic bass, drums, keyboards, trumpet, trombone, cello and percussion.

“Like the new records, I’ll make a slight departure from previous bands. This time around, I’ll be featuring a unique mixture of multi-instrumentalists,” Wooten said in a prepared statement. The show will consist of mostly new music from Wooten’s upcoming two new CDs, but will also feature songs from  earlier releases, as well as original music from band members.

The concert will begin at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 for general admission/$50 for  VIP.
