It's getting easier to find great live music in Bend these days. Still, there are shows that get scheduled that definitely rise above the rest and are must see performances.

One of those shows from our recommended concert calendar is the Bend stop for Portland's, Y La Bamba. I saw them play in between Bend singer/songwriter Sara Jackson-Holman and epic folk group Horse Feathers, late last year and was blown away. Their sweet sound crawls out from the stage and gathers strength as it makes its way to your ears and will have you turning to your friends over and over again to say "wow."

Part of the McMenamin's Great Northwest Music Tour concert series, Y La Bamba (led by beautifully talented Luzelena Mendoza and featuring Sean Flinn) will be playing this FREE 7pm show at McMenamin's Old St. Francis School in the Father Luke's Room, on Wednesday, February 16th. Check out the video below of the cut "Juniper", released from their album Lupon.
