Picks 5/18-5/25

Thursday 19

Inna Vision

WELCOME MAUN—Reggae from Maui comes to life and to Bend when this trio of beat-loving musicians stops by on tour. This is for people who love to relax and nod to the sweet sound of music. Pandora calls Inna Vision its highest streaming Hawaiian-based reggae group and it's easy to see why. These guys know how to make an audience sway. 9 p.m., Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Dr., Bend. $12 adv., $15 door.

Friday 20

Sure Fire Soul Ensemble

HEATED SPIRIT—It's the funky kind of sound that one would want playing as the background music of life. It's fresh, it's full of bass, it's the kind of jam for strutting one's stuff or planning a heist. There is a lot going on in each song, understandably because there are a lot of musicians combining their talents for the greater good. Get ready to walk with fire! 9 p.m., Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Dr., Bend. $10.

Friday 20 to Saturday 28

"Hedwig and the Angry Inch"

ROCK OPERA—Hedwig is one of the finest musicals written in the last few decades and it's about time it was performed in Bend. This Tony award-winning production tells the beautiful, touching and hilarious story of an East German transvestite trying to make it as the lead singer in a rock band. Great music and lyrics. 7 p.m., Kelly D's Irish Sports Bar, 1012 SE Cleveland Ave., Bend. $20.

Friday 13 to Saturday 28

"The Last Five Years"

MUSICAL— Thoroughly Modern Productions presents a musical told non-chronologically about five years of a relationship and its ups and downs. The two-person cast changes depending on what performance is seen, making it even more fun to catch this show twice. 7:30 p.m., matinees at 3 p.m., 2nd Street Theater, 220 NE Lafayette Ave., Bend. $22-$25.

Friday 20 to Sunday 29

Dyslexic GroOove

CON-FUSION—It's a local jam-fest of the highest caliber. The residential sounds of Shady GroOove meet the in-town sound of Dyslexic Prophet to create a jam-band baby born right here in Bend! It's rock. It's fun. It's all about a great evening supporting local musicians and having an awesome time while doing it. 10 p.m., The Capitol, 190 NW Oregon Ave., Bend. No cover.
