ABOUT THE MUSICIANS:

SCOTT PEMBERTON TRIO

FaceBook
Few guitar players are more exciting than Scott Pemberton. He plays his
instrument with a passion that is seldom equaled. It is not surprising that he receives comparisons to a wide variety of the greats spanning many genres
including Jimi Hendrix, Dick Dale and Grant Green. A Scott Pemberton Super
Band show unfolds a lot like an awesome date. Imagine cool conversation over
dinner with the Meters, then drinks and dancing with the Lips, and finally the after-party with James Brown that leaves you sweaty and satisfied. This is no movie date. An evening with Scott Pemberton will be a night to remember.
Native Portlander (Oregon), Scott Pemberton has amassed a loyal following. Fans come out in force to see him play show after show. With a deep catalogue and a mastery of improvisation, every show is different and memorable. With Scott you never know what is next, an unexpected interpretation of a well known favorite or a captivating original. A Portland area secret no longer, Scott is sure to make the same impact on the rest of the country as he has on Portland’s music scene.

THE QUICK & EASY BOYS
www.thequickandeasyboys.com
www.facebook.com/thequickandeasyboys

The Quick & Easy Boys, a power-trio out of Portland, Oregon, create their own blend of funky R&B, psychedelic rock, and garage pop with a slight pinch of honky-tonk. Imagine the Minutemen, My Morning Jacket and Funkadelic rolled into one.

Formed in 2005, The Quick & Easy Boys quickly made a name for themselves in Eugene, Oregon before heading north and building a Portland, OR fanbase. Their shows are an interactive party with electrifying stage antics and profound musical moments as the trio pours out every ounce of their energy, leaving nothing behind. The band has gained the reputation for moving a crowd all-night long whether it be a big festival or a tiny watering hole. The core members – - Jimmy Russell on guitar, Sean Badders on bass, and Michael Goetz on drums – - have continued to evolve musically…and audiences continue their enthusiastic calling of “Yeah Bud!” at every show.

In 2008, they released Bad Decisions With Good People which left people raving about their unique and vibrant sound, and in September of 2009, they sojourned out on their first United States tour. Two more national tours followed the release of their 2nd album Red Light Rabbit in 2010. They’ve opened both locally and nationally for Deer Tick, Blitzen Trapper. The Bridge, Iglu & Hartly, The Pimps of Joytime, Southern Culture on the Skids, Big Sam’s Funky Nation, Bob Wayne & the Outlaw Carnies, Vince Herman, Scott Law and Shanti Groove.

The Quick & Easy Boys’ high-energy thought-provoking original music provides a bounce to the step that only dancing can cure. So if you’re tired of the same old sounds and looking for the next up-and-coming thing, The Quick & Easy Boys’ newest release, Red Light Rabbit, is sure to give you a run for your money.

YEAH BUD!!!

LISTEN to the Quick and Easy Boys NOW!

A project born out of a desire to play fun music with good friends. Breaking the genre barriers, Innocent Man grooves on the blues, jazz, rock, country, funk, and blurs the line in between.
“Since 2008, Innocent Man has played their unique brand of rock and roll throughout Idaho, Oregon, and Nevada to fans of all ages. As a six piece group, Innocent Man’s sound incorporates elements of rock, jazz, bluegrass, and funk highlighted by soulful vocal harmonies and raging guitar solos. With a deep catalog of original music, no two concerts are ever the same – something that keeps both the band and their fans on their toes.”

BUSTER BLUE

Buster Blue is a indie-infused, folk-driven band with an “eclectic sound that jumps from breezy folk pop to loud unhinged rock and sounds like it belongs in an illicit speakeasy retrofitted for the new millennium”.

Buster Blue was the featured band for the Rock’n'Bowla event supporting the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson Research in Los Angeles at L.A. Live.
The band is continuing their “breakout” touring with performances at the Fall Strawberry Music Festival, Capitol Hill Block Party in Seattle, WA, Millpond Music Festival among several events and live performances.

Here is more about the band…

“Damascus”

“Bloody Your Teeth”

The band is comprised of five band members, most of whom alternate through an arsenal of instruments that includes banjo, accordion, trumpet, trombone, chain-links and more, along with the traditional guitar/bass/drums combo.

In January 2010, Buster Blue recorded their first full-length album, “When the Silver’s Gone”. They chose to not enter a studio to record, but wanted a special setting for their first album. Thus, in the middle of winter, the band hunkered down in a historic opera house in Virginia City, Nevada that once hosted performers such as Harry Houdini to record. The opera house seemed the ideal setting to capture the emotional depth of that particular set of songs. As well, they were able to acquire (on loan) chains from the Johnny Cash estate that were used on a couple of his recordings to use in their recordings…The album was produced by Zak Girdis and Kevin Bosley. Kevin was the assistant engineer on the Avett Brothers recent release.

Buster Blue brings more than music to their performance. If people are willing to pay for a show, they’re sure as hell going to put one on that folks will be glad they didn’t miss.

Buster Blue has performed with artists including: Margot and the Nuclear So & So’s, Devil Makes Three, Jason Webley, Langhorne Slim, O’Death T-Model Ford, The Dexter Romweber Duo, Norfolk & Western, Magnolia Electric Co,, Justin Gordon, Jaguar Love, David Vandervelde, Rocky Votolato, El Olio Wolof, Jason Anderson, The Deadly Syndrome, Bob Log III, Golden Boots, Rademacher, and The Pharmacy.
