1:00 p.m - 2:00 p.m: Stacie Dread and Mystic
From humble beginnings in 2008, Broken Down Guitars was always led by the talented and driven singer/songwriter/guitarist Stacie Lynn Johnson, known for her soulful, powerhouse vocals and passionately inspired melodies. With the addition of Aaron “Mystic” Chambers’ lyrical skills on the mic and percussion, the sound spun in a fresh direction, and adding a new male/female vocal dynamic for Stacie and Mystic to intertwine.

2:30 p.m - 3:30 p.m: Now and Then
Talented Guitar Harmony: Original music
Derek Michael Marc and Michael Shane
“Smooth vocals and great guitar sound. One of the most “top-shelf” musical acts we’ve had on the show.”Dennis Plant - (88.9FM KPOV – Center Stage)

4:00 p.m - 5:00 p.m: Milo Matthews
Milo Matthew demonstrates versatility unlike any other bassist. By using a drum pad, effects pedal, and a looping machine Milo can provide his own rhythm, bass line, keys and lead guitar turning him into an unstoppable one man show. Milo’s styles range from Jazz to blues, rock, pop, funk and even folk. Milo performs his own originals as well as as adding his unique flavor to 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s to the Present cover songs. It’s very rare to see Milo play the same song the same way, which makes every performance fresh and new

5:30 p.m - 6:30 p.m: Maxwell Friedman Group
17-year-old Maxwell Friedman is living proof that some musicians are indeed “born with it.” At an incredibly young age, in less than a decade since he started playing, his ferocious and inspired keyboard playing, and his tasteful and clever compositions are already becoming legendary while his skill, knowledge, taste, phrasing, artistry and professionalism are already on-par with many accomplished players on the national scene who, without hesitation, call him their peer. In 2019, the band released its debut album, “Beyond Neblar – Live in Bend” and they toured the West Coast in support of its release, including high profile support dates with Greyboy Allstars, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe and The New Mastersounds. Now that the “pandemic pause” is nearing its end, the band has finally begun work on their first studio album, which they expect to release in early 2022.

7:00 p.m - 8:00 p.m: Down North
Raised on James Brown and Sam Cooke, frontman Anthony Briscoe combines a style of emotional impact reminiscent of Prince in his vocal expressions and proudly steals the spotlight with his ballet-trained dancing. Psychedelic-jazz guitarist Nick Quiller dominates the fretboard with a limitless imagination that explores the soundscape from high to low. Bassist Brandon Storms blends slap and pop bass lines with deep synth, and pitch bent solos that parallel guitar leads, while drummer Conrad Real glues together a foundation through impeccable groove and powerful chops, his finesse, intensity, and strength are evocative of Chris Coleman and John Blackwell.

8:30 p.m - 10:00 p.m: 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-’em-to-church” organ come together into a sound that is downright appetizing.

11:00 a.m - 8:00 p.m: Family Fun - The Bend Family Play Zone

As a non-profit music school for all ages our Mission is to enrich our community by providing exceptional music education and experiences for all Central Oregonians, making music Fun, Engaging, Safe and Social.

1:00 p.m - 2:00 p.m: Cheyenne West and Kurt Silva
Cheyenne West and 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.

2:30 p.m - 3:30 p.m: Drift
Drift is an alt-rock band that performs all original music described as melodic and moody with contemplative and cinematic lyrics.

4:00 p.m - 5:00 p.m: 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.

11:00 a.m - 5:00 p.m: Family Fun - The Bend Family Play Zone
