June has been huge for new music. Lorde has officially resurfaced (I’ve heard that means seven extra weeks of summer) with her latest hit, “Solar Power,” showing the New Zealand pop sensation stepping in new directions on her upcoming album of the same name. Tyler, The Creator, is back with “Call Me If You Get […]
“Calming” and “thoughtful” are two of the first words that come to mind when I listen to the new Left Vessel album. It runs organically like a list of thoughts and feelings Nick Byron Campbell (Faded Rituals, Arizona) needed to get off of his chest. But the Bend-based musician doesn’t alienate others in his songwriting, […]
Why not dedicate a song to your partner? Or if your skills fit the bill, write a song for them… which happens to be exactly what Bend artist Kolby Knickerbocker did.
Live music isn’t dead. It’s more like it’s in hibernation, so we’re seeing it less frequently, because we, too, have also been in a form of hibernation the last few months. But when you do get a chance to step out of your cave you might be lucky enough to see some live tunes. Especially […]
Introducing themselves on the Central Oregon scene at the start of last year, local rock band Night Channels has already been hit with a few punches in its early start.

When I first heard Lillie Lemon, I couldn’t have been more excited for this band to come to Bend. A hybrid lying somewhere between Chvrches and Purity Ring, Lillie Lemon specializes in lyrically-driven electro-pop with beautiful female vocals. The duo, which consists of Lillie Lemon and Erica Wobbles (who’s also known as Eric), creates electronic […]
If you ask Downhill Ryder founding member and guitarist Matthew Finfer, it’s the curse of the album release. On Wednesday, May 24, local roots-rockers Downhill Ryder release their second album, “The Big One.” The accompanying party has dual purposes though, as it will also be lead vocalist Kim Kelley’s final performance with the band before […]
Have to work Saturday? No problem. Make that coin and come back, the fest will be waiting. Have a child? Bring her—she’ll have playdates galore. Love Bluegrass/folk/Americana/yoga/silent disco/campsite jamming? You’re in luck…and that’s an understatement. 4 Peaks Music Fest is one of the most well-rounded music fests out there, and best of all – it’s […]
