This week's, and LAST, Munch & Music of the season features two fantastic local bands, below is a description of both:
- Chained to Stone - from the gritty riffs of Nirvana and iconic vocals of Alice in Chains, to the emotive melodies of Stone Temple Pilots, Chained to Stone captures the raw energy and spirit of the grunge movement and takes audiences back to the heart and soul of the 90's.
- Precious Byrd is one of the most sought after bands in the Pacific Northwest. This funky rock n' roll dance band will make any event take flight! Voted #1 Party Band in Oregon multiple years running they have played for brands like Nike, Deschutes Brewery, Pendleton Whiskey, and more! Their fresh renditions of modern and classic hits, along with a number of high energy originals are sure to fill the dance floor and get people on their feet!
Precious Byrd plays across the nation and features renowned saxophone player Andy Warr, known for his work on the Oprah Winfrey show, and drummer extraordinaire Michael Summers. Matched with the soulful high energy of brothers Corey and Casey Parnell fronting the group the crowd gets nothing but their all!
Precious Byrd released their own much anticipated original album "Superphonic Magical" in 2016 and their follow up EP "Wolves". They draw thousands to local street festivals and events in their local area and continue to spread love and music wherever they go! Resorts continue to brag about record sales at events these boys play at.
We'd love to hear your experiences if you go!
Chained to Stone's bandmates contains some of the nicest people I've ever met in my life, in particular Josh. The band really brought their hard-rock 90's vibe to be such a strong M&M opener. It had also been too long since I'd see Precious Byrd, and they never disappoint! As far as consummate entertainers, there is not much better in Central Oreogn than Precious Byrd.
During Chained to Stone's opening act, I had a rather magical reunion with someone I love dearly and deeply and hadn't seen in almost two years. I credit the power of music for bringing us to the same exact spot, where we not only embraced, but healed. I saw many friends this night, but only got a single snap with my dear friend Cathy, who was with her consistently extraordinary beau George.
