Wil Kinky is a Portland based singer/songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. With vocals like Joe Cocker, and a guitar style reminiscent of Jimmy Hendrix; he blends blues, rock, soul, and other genres into an unexpected flavor of sound all his own.

Imagine if Neil Young and Janis Joplin had three love children, and those children grew up to like folk rock and hip hop. The Junebugs combine high-energy pop and rock with Pacific Northwest folksy goodness to create a genre-bending sound you can kick up your heels to. The Junebugs originated on the Vancouver, BC circuit before moving back home to Portland, OR. There, guitarist Moses Barrett picked up drummer Kyle Owen and bassist Nathaniel Daniel, to round out the dynamic trio. Covering everything from Tom Petty to TLC to Lorde, the eclectic taste of the trio ranges from turn-of-the-century Americana to modern Hip Hop, with a strong emphasis on vocal harmony. Their original tunes have a dreamy, sweet quality reminiscent of Neil Young and Iron & Wine, peppered with fiery banjo lines. There is something for everyone here. “The American songbook is alive and well, and it didn’t end in the 1950’s,” Barrett says.

Ben Larsen is a Portland-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based out of Portland, where he developed a reputation for dynamic performances as the front person for the psychedelic newgrass outfit The Giraffe Dodgers, before transitioning to the beloved acoustic roots group, Crow & The Canyon. Ben Larsen Band marks a powerful point of creative transition, well captured by 2018’s self produced debut album Turn, which shifted the focus to a more eclectic and electric sound, as Larsen and his bandmates expanded their musical palette, incorporating heavy doses of soul and rock & roll. With the 2021 follow up, Drop, these sonic explorations have only progressed as the band brings high energy accompaniment and intricate arrangements to Larsen’s songwriting. A guitarist, composer, mandolinist and fiddler, Larsen is always on the search for a deeper and more genuine understanding and connection to music and listeners.
