SUCKERFORLIGHTS: Husband and wife dream pop duo from Portland, OR. Their last full length album, “Hearts Fade”, is a lush and expansive pop record covering themes on the many facets of love.SOU’WESTER PRESS
Live Music: Twin Bridges and Nate Norton
Twin Bridges’s melancholic aesthetic is the result of fusing classical and chamber music’s instrumentation and musicality with folk and indie-rock. Hailing from New Mexico, Twin Bridges currently resides in Portland, Oregon. “Born out of personal turmoil and heartbreak, Twin Bridges’ music is a testament to the healing power of art. “ – Voicemag UK
Live Music: Leo Moon
Leo Moon is the solo incarnation of singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Brian Adrian Koch. California born and Oregon raised, Brian has been active in the Portland music scene since arriving in 2000. He is a current and founding member of indie rock band Blitzen Trapper (2000-present) and psychedelic folk duo Dead Lee (2018-2023) Appearing now as a solo acoustic performer, his minimal and haunting tunes are stripped down paeans to the glorious absurdities of life; harmonica spattered psalms to the void. He is preparing to release his first full length album, The Fool.
Live Music: Weezy Ford
Weezy Ford is a musician and songwriter who lives in the Columbia River Gorge. Her first musical endeavors incorporated slide guitar, vintage feels, garage-rock fuzz, and tap dancing on her EP Bobbypin Graveyard. She got tired of carrying around a box to dance on, and began writing songs on a tiny synthesizer that would eventually become her first full-length record titled Sugarcane in 2019. She collaborates with her partner, Mark Robertson (multi-instrumentalist, engineer) in their homestead studio where they mostly grow vegetables. None of the knobs are labeled. During the pandemic they recorded a handful of acoustic songs onto tape released as all at once. She started a twangy side project with her sister, Sallie Ford, called The Barbaras and recorded Oh My God Barbara in 2020 on Orcas Island, WA. Her latest album “In the Movement” was released in March, 2024.
