"The Beatles Die on Tuesday"

THEATRE—"The Beatles Die on Tuesday" is an original work by a local playwright, world premiering on the Central Oregon stage.

An amazing live act. // 6:45 pm, Century Center Courtyard, 70 SW Century Dr., Bend. Sold out, but check for tickets online.

Silversun Pickups

MUSIC—This indie rock group is made up of four individuals that come together with their unique styles to create something a bit epic in terms of sound and lyrics.

More than just the music, the band's attitude and style shine in every song. // 6 pm, Century Center Courtyard 70 SW Century Dr., Bend. $33.

Pickin' & Paddlin'
