Live Music Events '26 / Re: Tony Smiley @ Portello Lou...
Last post by Coral - Jul 27, 2026, 10:35 PMTony Smiley will remain one of my very favorite performers in Bend for VERY good reason -- he is unmatched in his ability to cover songs creatively, mash-up songs seamlessly, build songs from scratch with crazy amazing loops and multiple instruments, get the audience participation in the setlist AND be entertaining. He's the fully package and I'm so grateful I got to share it with so many amazing friends.

Live Music Events '26 / Re: Heller Highwater at Baller...
Last post by Coral - Jul 27, 2026, 06:16 PMThis event was SUCH an unexpected treat! I had never been to Ballers & Brews -- turns out, it's a delightful food cart/live show venue, complete with dog-friendly accomodations AND a nice, big dance floor!
Heller Highwater trio sounded absolutely fabulous at this spot, and Heather was in FINE form as she belted out classics like she was MADE for singing! And quite a few of our (previous text-thread) members were there -- Steph, Ruth Anne, and Dina!

- Description of both bands featured in this event, along with ticket link, are below:
- The Deltaz are a brother duo blending Americana, blues-rock, and raw sibling harmonies into a sound steeped in the heart of American roots music. Born and raised in the hills outside Los Angeles, the two spent their early years steeped in the sounds of America's past, eventually carving out a name for themselves in Southern California's live scene with a sound that felt both lived-in and alive.
- Rustmouth describes themselves as "electrified porch music".

Live Comedy Events '26 / Comedy at Craft Kitchen
Last post by Coral - Jul 24, 2026, 10:06 PMThanks to Janelle Musson for this gem!
Host: Courtney Stevens
Headliner: Tylor Jones
Featuring comedians: Cole Robeson and Tess Eddington
Courtney Stevens is the kind of funny that makes you laugh, blush, and question your life choices- sometimes all at once. Equal parts chaos, charm, and "did she really just say that?"
Tylor Jones started hitting the open mics of the Eugene, Oregon comedy scene in the summer of 2016. Since then he's progressed to perform at multiple years of the Savage Henry Comedy Festival, featured at the Olsen Run Comedy Club, and is a comic on the Don't Tell Comedy production roster. Tylor has entertained audiences with his quick witted perspective on family, grief, and everyday life. No matter what you find funny, he's got something in his arsenal to make you laugh
Tess Eddington hails from Salt Spring Island, BC- A small, inbred community of humorless tie-dye craftspeople and goat farmers. Growing up with a self-absorbed magician for a brother honed her homicidally intrusive thoughts into a sharp, sharp wit. The early passing of her parents only darkened her sense of humor further- and the rest, as they say, is history. A relative newcomer to the comedy scene, Tess studies improvisation at Bend Institute of Comedy and now tests her material on the toughest audience imaginable. Her two-year-old son and her geriatric husband.
Cole Robeson (the one in the red hat)is a Bend Comedian known for razor-sharp one liners and consistently punching far above his class. Since starting in 2018, he's toured nationally, performed during Austin's comedy boom at Vulcan Gas Company, appeared on Roku TV through the Big Laugh Comedy Network and spent years further honing his craft at the famed Wiseguys comedy clubs
