First Interstate has been part of the fabric of many hard-working towns and cities for over 50 years. We believe community banking is about more than accounts and transactions. It’s about taking care of the places we call home, and making our communities better places to live, work, and play. We’re so glad you’re here to join us in celebrating the things that make Bend and Central Oregon so special. Don’t forget to mark your calendars for the Bend Fall Festival, to be held September 29-October 1, 2023 right here in downtown Bend.

Imbued with the grit of vintage country music and the grace of gospel, her debut album, First Time Feeling , serves as a genuine diary of her life stories and a testament to her musical evolution.
Just over a year following her last release, Leah Blevins is poised for the next chapter in her musical journey with "Hundred Different Sides". Her latest single confronts the nuance involved in a person defining their identity. While complex, it can be strengthening to acknowledge all of the facets of one's self. Her heartfelt songs explore themes of fear, self-discovery, and leaving the past behind, resonating with stories of life, love, and loss. Leah's creative spirit continues to evolve as she crafts the follow-up to her debut LP. With her timeless sound paying homage to the past while boldly standing out in the present, Leah Blevins is truly an artist to watch.
