In a world no longer ruled by the Gods of Rock, one band will valiantly resurrect the spirits of those that came before us. One band will gift their audience with the way things once were. Channeling the talents of these Rock Gods, Good Times/Bad Times will dramatically honor the classic rock sounds of the 1970s.
Good Times/Bad Times is a high energy classic rock band which features some of the best performers in Eastern Oregon: Ashley O’Toole, Luke McKern, Roger Barnes and Andy Steele. MUSIC: High Energy Classic Rock |

Since late 2005 the Bad Pennys have been crafting their brand of vintage jazz around New Orleans. At home with entertaining in the street, nightclubs or theaters, the range of a nights music will have an audience laughing, shouting, feeling randy, waxing nostalgic and making puppy dog eyes. Matt Bell plays acoustic chord melody style guitar and sings. Joy Patterson sings, plays her trusty Kazookaphone, finesses the washboard and drags all kinds of noisemakers out of her hat. Joining the band are local Eastern Oregon songsters, Luke Mckern on guitar, Sam Dickerson on upright bass and Greg Johnson on clarinet.

Depot Street Syncopators

The Depot Street Syncopators formed over a decade ago to bring swinging horn-heavy New Orleans style funk, latin, jazz, and blues to rural Eastern Oregon. The group’s initial plan was to play once a year on Mardi Gras. Over time it became increasingly difficult to stick to such a limited schedule. When the eleven members of the Syncopators break out their instruments, it’s party time. Every show is likely to have several special guests joining the ranks. The group has headlined Cycle Oregon, Tunes After Totality, and many La Grande community celebrations. A majority of the band is comprised of Music Faculty and Alumni from Eastern Oregon University.
MUSIC: New Orleans Jazz and Funk |
