The Brothers Reed

Fri., July 13. 5pm // Main Stage
Brothers Aaron and Phil Reed have a broad background in a variety of styles of music from reggae to metal to country, but have created a seamless folk sound together. This one is for fans of other "brother" bands — The Avett Brothers, The Brothers Comatose and so on.

This Island Earth

Fri., July 13. 5:30pm // Locals Only Stage
A year after our feature interview with Elijah Goodall, the brains behind This Island Earth, he's closer to releasing his three concept albums. The sound leans more on the electronic side, which is a very good thing.

AM Clouds

For a band that made their live debut at Bend Roots Revival last September, AM Clouds has firmly established themselves as one of Bend's favorite rock bands.

Boxcar Stringband

Sat., July 14. 7pm // Main Stage

The Holdup

Something about reggae screams summer. California-based band The Holdup serves up its own brand of the genre, mixed with hip-hop and R&B. Prepare to sway, people.
