Leo Moon (of Blitzen Trapper) and Johnny Bourbon

This will be an intimate seated show in the living room of The Commons in Bend, OR.Leo Moon is the solo incarnation of singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Brian Adrian Koch.  California born and Oregon raised, Brian has been active in the Portland music scene since arriving in 2000. He is a current and founding member of indie rock band Blitzen Trapper (2000-present) and psychedelic folk duo Dead Lee (2018-2023) Appearing now as a solo acoustic performer, his minimal and haunting tunes are stripped down paeans to the glorious absurdities of life; harmonica spattered psalms to the void.Johnny Bourbon is a singer-songwriter born in Bend Oregon in 1989. He grew up in various locations throughout the Pacific Northwest and honed his skills writing and performing in various bands since his early teenage years.  He challenges himself to provoke honesty in his songwriting; examining the human condition and the subjects of love & loss, life and death, optimism and strife, and shares his personal history and the inner dialogues that follow with his audience, challenging them to ask themselves similar questions and confront their own humanness amidst the backdrop of driving alternative-country and folk guitar rhythms.  Johnny's performance can somewhat be described as an act of emotional purging and tends to fill a room with a sense of heavy catharsis while still evoking a sense of levity, and sometimes laughter as he shares the stories most dear to him.
