1-3pm (All Ages!): THUNDER RIDGE

Thunder Ridge is a straight-ahead bluegrass band from Portland, OR. The traditional five-piece band is made up of banjo, guitar, mandolin, bass and fiddle. They will steal your heart with hard driving vocal harmonies and instrumentals. Allow them to take you down a path of yesteryear with a good old fashioned sound inspired by the masters of bluegrass, and sprinkled with a few originals!

6-8pm (free!): KRIS DEELANE & THE HURT

The Hurt is ten players strong and features a number of Portland music luminaries. They dive into deep cuts and old school favorites from the soul sounds of the 60’s and 70’s. Think Motown to Memphis, Stax to Atlantic records, Aretha to Etta. It’s all here!

9pm ($10): LENA RICH / MAC CORNISH & BAND

Living is a choice, at least, that’s how Lena Rich sees it. Pensive songs and scenery for the road-weary, crumbling empires of the heartbroken and disillusioned, all propped up by an unspoken belief of the power in poetry and moving forward.

9pm ($15 cash only): BOB SUMNER (BAND) / LAITH & TTB

More than a single sound, influence, instrumental, or theme, the through line in Sumner’s music has always been vulnerability. “I always want people to feel something,” Sumner explains. “If I heard that this album helped somebody that was feeling down, even just by feeling some other emotion for a little while, that’s the number one thing for me.”
