First Interstate Bank Bend Summer Festival 2022 / 5
OREGON AVENUE BETWEEN BOND STREET & LAVA ROAD
Saturday, July 9th 8:30PM Jelly Bread Jelly Bread has risen from Reno/ Lake Tahoe area favorites into a nationally-touring powerhouse that delivers a high-energy, chameleonic playlist all over the United States. Jelly Bread’s distinct style is identified by a blend of desert twang meeting the urban tones of funk and rock. Exceptional songwriting and storytelling interlaced with four part harmonies, intricate “in-the-pocket” drum and bass grooves, swampy lap steel guitar, dirt under the fingernails guitar licks, tasty talkbox, “take-’emto-church” organ come together into a sound that is downright appetizing.
Sunday, July 10th 11:30AM Cascade School of Music
2:30PM DRIFT
Watch the students take the stage!
DRIFT is an alt-rock band that performs all original music described as melodic and moody with contemplative and cinematic lyrics.
1:00PM Cheyenne West & Kurt Silva Cheyenne West & Kurt Silva perform classic country tunes as well as modern country tunes that you would hear on today’s radio stations along with some rock n roll covers and originals.
4:00PM Jess Ryan Band Every so often you will encounter a great performer. Someone who gets on stage, and then seems to just open up like a stadium roof, as if to better draw their audience into the dark canyon within. This ability is usually not acquired through the kinds of contrived musical efforts that are practiced or taught. It’s a particular talent that certain performers just have. Jess Ryan has this talent in spades, and to witness her perform is to feel the full force of unbridled human expression. Together, with four other extremely talented musicians, the five-piece band deliver a driving, twang-inflected, psych-infused rock with the kind of emotional power, passion, and intensity that can only come from deep within the heart.
