Daryl Hall and Elvis Costello & The Imposters with Charlie Sexton

The second weekend of June will bring together two rock and pop icons of a past era who still endure today—thanks to their epic catalogs as well as their continued output. Daryl Hall may be half of the duo that brought you "Private Eyes," "Rich Girl," "Maneater" and "Make My Dreams (Come True)," but he's set to release his sixth solo album, "D," on June 21. Co-produced by longtime collaborator Dave Stewart of Eurythmics, the two Rock and Roll Hall of Famers made a modern pop record that's soulful and funky and feels like classic Hall at times. Forty years ago, Hall added backing vocals to Elvis Costello's "The Only Flame in Town" so it'll be a treat to see them enter each other's musical orbit again. Joining Costello's longtime backing band, The Imposters, for another set of tour dates will be Texas guitarist Charlie Sexton, best known for his work with Bob Dylan. As the second most famous musician named Elvis, he's recorded more than 30 studio albums and is the composer and lyricist of a mind-blowing 600 published titles! Many have viewed Hall's popular web/TV series "Live from Daryl's House" and understand his vibe, but know that Costello is no opener: The co-headliner is a force to be reckoned with (as well as yet another Rock Hall inductee). And since Hall & Oates are officially over, this is your best chance to relive a bygone time while enjoying the latest work from two prolific songwriters.

Big Ponderoo

It should come as no surprise that the people who have been bringing us the Sisters Folk Festival since 1995 want to recreate the modern-day music festival experience. Honestly, it's less about reinventing the wheel and more about rolling it back to simpler times. And what better place to do this than in the cozy mountain town of Sisters, with the second installment of the folk, Americana and bluegrass festival, Big Ponderoo. The organizers aim to create a low-key vibe where you can bring your own snacks, blanket and chair, buy a beer without waiting in egregious lines and find affordable tickets for the whole family (kids 5 and under are free and ages 6 to 17 can get discounted youth passes). Adult passes even come with a reusable Silipint cup for wetting your whistle all weekend long. The open-air fest in the town's central Village Green Park features two stages, and Saturday's highlights include the folk-rock energy of The Sam Chase & The Untraditional, the banjo- and mandolin-driven Americana of The Brothers Comatose and the horn-filled, funky blues of the Austin big band Shinyribs, which'll have you dancing 'till they shut the stage down. Sunday's no slouch either, with the engrossing, soul-filled classic country of newcomer Bella White and hard-charging country rock from headliners Silverada, formerly known as Mike and the Moonpies. Several local acts play twice over the weekend including husband-and-wife combos Skybound Blue from McMinnville and Portland's The Parnells, fronted by married couple Corey and Whitney Parnell. Singer-songwriter JoAnna Lee, who has Bend roots, will play both Saturday and Sunday, as will bluegrass groups from Sisters, Rock Ridge and Portland, Fog Holler.

FairWell Festival

After a raucous inauguration, FairWell returns to the county fairgrounds for a second year boasting some of today's best folk, country, Americana, rock and blues acts. Some 40 artists will grace three stages over the course of three days with Whiskey Myers satisfying the red dirt country fans, Black Pumas providing melodic, soulful rock, and headliners Caamp ensuring a hearty singalong on Saturday night. Powerful female singer-songwriters with rich histories like Brandi Carlile, LeAnn Rimes and Sierra Hull (and relative newcomers like Madison Cunningham and Katie Pruitt) will captivate. Billy Strings will bring the bluegrass, Colter Wall the rural country and The War and Treaty the Michigan soul. Roots rockers Shakey Graves, The Revivalists and (recent Grammy winner) Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit are sure to be highlights for many. Ryan Bingham (known for playing the role of Walker on the hit Western series, "Yellowstone") will be joined by The Texas Gentlemen, and be sure to catch Northwest talent like Swinomish rocker Black Belt Eagle Scout, who released her powerful post-rock record "The Land, The Water, The Sky" last year. Updates for 2024 include more access to shaded barn areas throughout the festival grounds, including bars, seated areas, fair games and line dancing. FairWell offers RV parking and tent camping for those who don't want to travel, or shuttle passes are available from Bend as well as Redmond and Ridgeview High Schools. Up to two kiddos (8 and under) are free with each ticketed adult and re-entry is allowed—so if you plan it right, you just might be able to experience the best of both worlds!

UB40 - Red Red Wine Tour

Unemployment Benefit, Form 40" is technically the full name of iconic English reggae act UB40. The bright canary yellow form was issued by the UK government to citizens claiming unemployment benefits—aka all eight members of the band—and a replica of this attendance card graces the cover of UB40's 1980 debut record, "Signing Off." The guys' hopes of getting off the ministry's dole must've surpassed their wildest dreams, as they've since become one of the most internationally successful reggae and pop acts of all time. Formed in Birmingham, England, in the summer of 1978, UB40 just celebrated its 45th anniversary with the release of "UB45," 14 tracks that revisit some of the band's biggest hits with new vocalist Matt Doyle, plus seven new songs. "

"For more than 40 years, we've been one of the hardest working touring bands in pop music," says guitarist/vocalist and UB40 co-founder Robin Campbell. "We wanted to record 'UB45' to celebrate 45 years of our music. When you play songs over so many years, the arrangements and vocals evolve and change. These updated versions of our hits are still close to the originals, but now reflect how we perform them today and they sound better than ever." Just four years shy of a half-century, original bandmates Jimmy Brown (drums), Earl Falconer (bass, vocals) and Norman Lamont Hassan (percussion, trombone, vocals) continue as core groove-makers alongside a supporting cast full of brass and smooth vocals who are sure to breathe continued life into indelible tunes like "Red Red Wine" and "Can't Help Falling in Love."

Mt. Joy

Sweet, swirling vocal harmonies will fill the evening air along the Deschutes River as indie rockers Mt. Joy and Local Natives share the Hayden Homes Amphitheater stage this summer. Mt. Joy's Matt Quinn and Sam Cooper met in high school in Philadelphia but subsequently reunited in Los Angeles, naming their new band after a mountain (at 423 feet it's not much of a mountain by our standards but probably a better choice than the nearby Mount Misery) in Pennsylvania's Valley Forge National Park. The band feels right at home in the desert, spending much of the pandemic working on its third record, "Orange Blood," in SoCal.

"When we were in the desert, everything revolved around the sun. I started playing with the idea that the light we see is this sort of orange blood that runs through all of us and gives life to everything it touches," Quinn explains. Local Natives started making music as teenagers, and after years of writing, recording and touring, the five-piece released the companion albums, "Time Will Wait For No One" in 2023 and "But I'll Wait For You" this April. Recorded during the same sessions, these fifth and sixth records come in quick succession but with a bittersweet note: They will be the last to feature co-lead vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Kelcey Ayer. It's an amicable split, with Ayer saying in an Instagram post that he needs "space and time to build other things." He's also not closing the door on the band, writing, "this is not the end of Local Natives or the end of me. I'm excited to celebrate this last year of shows with you all."
