OK, so I’ve written in the past few weeks about how the 4 Peaks Jamboree, featuring the music of Poor Man’s Whiskey and taking place Saturday, had moved to West Wind Ranch, and then about how that event was canceled and the show would take place at the Domino Room.
WELL, now organizers have moved once again, back to the Rockin A Ranch (19449 Tumalo Reservoir Road), where the shindig was originally to take place.

OK, so last week I wrote a post about how the 4 Peaks Jamboree, featuring Poor Man’s Whiskey, was taking place at the West Wind Ranch near Tumalo on Saturday.
So yeah, here’s the deal — the county has decided that the 4 Peaks party, meant to be a fundraiser party of about 150 people to keep the festival going into the future, needs a mass gathering permit in order to proceed.

It happens almost every August, right around this time. I see a single “back to school” ad, then I see another one.

As I’ve been saying quite a bit lately, I really believe that Pickathon is Oregon’s premiere outdoor music festival. The wooded setting, the eclectic yet focused lineup, the schedule that has most acts playing multiple times, saving you the festival stress when two bands are playing at once — that makes for a great festival.

Bend Roots Revival, Bend’s quintessential local music event, is slated for September 23-26.

One of Bend’s favorite bands — and one that keeps coming back a couple times a year — Poor Man’s Whiskey will play an outdoor show this summer. It’s slated for August 14th and the location is the West Wind Ranch (home to a music festival just a few weekends back) out in Tumalo.

There’s an old saying that goes “You know your band is getting huge when your name is up on a billboard.”
OK, I just made that up, but it’s true and something our very own Larry and His Flask realized recently when they got their collective eyeballs on this massive billboard (seen above) in Las Vegas pumping up the upcoming Dropkick Murphys show that the band is opening on August 6.
