Black Butte Ranch’s “Live at the Ranch” series has had a fine summer, bringing an eclectic quartet of Northwest musicians — John Nilsen, Misty River and Dan Balmer among them — to the resort northwest of Sisters.

Alas, all good things must end (it’s August and I can see snow in the mountains as I write this), and “Live at the Ranch” will go out with a bang Sunday as renowned Oregon bluesman Curtis Salgado closes out the series.

Salgado should be no stranger to, well, anyone really. He’s best known for being John Belushi’s inspiration for the Blues Brothers, but he’s no caricature; Salgado is a real-deal bluesman with a prodigiously soulful voice, stunning harmonica skills, and enough swagger to power 1,000 hip-hop videos. He cut his teeth alongside Robert Cray and Santana and, most recently, survived a tough battle with cancer. So if you think that’s real, gritty feeling you’re hearing when Salgado sings, you’re right.
