Switchfoot and Lacrae

Before the release of Switchfoot’s tenth album, “Where the Light Shines Through,” on July 8, the band will make its way through Southern Oregon with Lacrae. Recently the band released two songs from their upcoming album to tease fans of what’s to come. This show will no doubt satisfy fans until the album’s the release, and it also packs the punch of the Lacrae’s well-known hip hop.

Marshall Poole at Club 66

Marshall Poole (from Nampa, Idaho) will take the stage at Club 66 June 22, along with Iconoplasty and St. Terrible. Guitarist Rider Soraan says, “We’ll be playing our own special blend of southern psych rock.” That special brand is one that The Idaho Statesman described as “a sweaty rock and roll hurricane.” It will also be one of the last performances at Club 66, which will be closing at the end of June. So send it out with style.

Sojourner, Tionesta, the Motions, Pilgrim Song at The Eaden Ballroom

From Chino, California, Tionesta will be playing music from their recently released EP, Northern Winds. Not only that, but Sojourner from Springfield are playing more tame yet still alternative music that may showcase a few songs from an EP that is coming out in the near future. Local bands The Motions and Pilgrim Song will also be performing, ensuring a show that is sure to attract a crowd.

Grace Potter at Britt Festival

Britt Festival turns out an impressive list of bands and musicians every year, promising a summer of diverse and exciting performances. June 21 is no slouch in the exciting department, as vocal powerhouse, Grace Potter, will, well, grace the audience with her hearty rock vocals and a full band. The festival has scored with this blossoming musician and vocalist, and because Potter hasn’t made Southern Oregon a routine stop, no one will knows when she’ll be back again.

Back to the 90s at the Jackson County Expo

There were lot of things about the ‘90s that sucked. Jncos for example. But one thing that didn’t suck was the hip hop. And somehow, some of the decade’s best acts are all coming through Central Point for one show. Who? Try Naughty by Nature, Sir Mixalot, Young MC, and Biz Markie. All at the same show. And since they’re almost exactly 20 years late, then they’re right on time for Southern Oregon. Also someone let Warren G on the bill, but don’t let that stop you.
