WELCOME
Twenty Five Years!!! For a quarter of a century, this massive undertaking, we call the Bank of the Cascades Bend Summer Festival, has been breathing life into the streets of Downtown Bend! And how important can 25 years of community gathering be? Important enough to be recognized, nationally in publications and on the circuit, as one of the finest street festivals in the country! As we reflect back over these many years, and as we step into a Bend, Oregon, now, that continues to define itself through it’s burgeoning array of summer events, races and festivals, we remember one critical wrinkle in time. It was November of 2008, a contract year with our title sponsor, The Bank of the Cascades. It was clear that the fall of the economy was no “passing phase.” And unlike many other festivals that sought to find more solid ground (like the Eugene Celebration and the Salem Arts Fairs that would fence in their Downtown corridors and charge a “cover” for entrance to their signature community gatherings), a core quartet of Bank of the Cascades executives, (Patricia Moss, Debbie Amorongen, Julie Miller, and Charlene Clevenger) all agreed that then, more than ever, the community needed to continue it’s fine tradition of gathering, of basking in fine art and color and motion and music for free~ that this festival had become a core tapestry of this area’s narrative, and that to do the obvious thing, by cutting or reducing the sponsorship, (ending the event) would send a signal to the population at large that there was no reason to be confident that time would persevere. In effect, they were investing in a notion that would be critical to this area’s climbing up and out of harder times—the notion that everything would be a right (don’t worry, bout a thing’). These festivals are more than entertainment, they are about community, connection, social capital and health, and about using the arts as a device to bring pause to the rancor of our lives. And so it is, by the good grace of these fine people, and the continued generosity of many others, that the Bank of the Cascades Bend Summer Festival stands poised to celebrate it’s 25th anniversary with a bonanza of attendee experiences! This is the music festival, that is a fine arts festival, that is a wine and gourmet food festival, that is a children’s festival, that is a conscious living festival, that is an imported goods festival, that is a food and spirits festival, that is a performing arts festival. Boasting nearly 300 different vendors, sponsors, and participating groups and agencies- this festival is one of the largest of it’s kind in the Northwest. The event started with the hard work and vision of a well-intended group of Bendites, who wanted to see our fine Downtown infused with the greatness of art, music, beer, wine, dance, film, children’s fun, and more. Michelle Liberty, and an esteemed committee of Bend area leaders, was originally tapped to guide the first year of the festival. Later, Bend resident, Carolyn Tillia would breathe art and soul into the event, capturing this community’s spirit and sense of imagination. Under her stewardship, the event moved from the Mirror Pond Parking Lot onto Wall Street. In 1996, C3 Events assumed a leadership role. That first summer we were ill-prepared. Garbage? Porta Potties? Street cleaning? Artists arriving at 4am? In short, we got whooped. At 3am, eyes half mast and barely able to keep upright, our amazing staff of young people (Jake, Shannon, Ashley, Kalei, Katherine, Jessica, Marissa, Sarah, and more...) found themselves, broom in hand, literally sweeping the streets of garbage and muck. Ahhhh. Art’s management. That was our welcome into the foray of art festival production. And, as the years have evolved, and as the event has expanded, it is still true today that this event pushes our fine staff and it’s many volunteers and subcontractors, in the most brutal and beautiful of ways. It’s art after all—and like the lotus flower, so much of art’s history is mired in greatness and beauty that emerges out of pain and mud.
This festival, which started with twenty some artisans, has grown, now, into a favorite of local’s and tourists alike, spanning more than eight downtown blocks. Proudly, then, on this eve of July 10th, brooms in hand, beauty in mind, we celebrate this town’s rich Downtown core, and the legacy that the Bank of the Cascades Bend Summer Festival has provided for Central Oregonians! It’s a legacy painted upon the canvas of a thousand brilliant fine artists... cars and busses have been transformed, “big art” installations have been constructed, and trunks of trees have been carved into magnificent creatures. It’s a legacy steeped in the sounds of Robert Cray, Curtis Salgado, Tom Grant, Jimmy Messina, Gene Harris, Mel Brown, Mark Alan, Tyrone Wells, The Daddies, Craig Chaquico, Todd Haaby, The Samples, Ozomatli, Ottmar Liebert, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Night Ranger, Ricki Lee Jones, Sonos, and, in celebration of 25 years, from Seattle comes Sir Mix Alot! And so, on behalf of the hundreds of volunteers, staff, sponsors, and patrons who have all contributed to the 2015 Bank of the Cascades Bend Summer Festival, and in celebration of 25 years, let us invite you to join us and Live It! Join us on the streets of Downtown Bend on Friday, July 10th, from 5pm to 11pm, Saturday July 11th from 11am to 11pm, and Sunday July 12th from 11am to 5pm. All ages will enjoy a feast for all senses. Your eyes will delight in the many works of more than 125 talented artisans, crafters, and importers. Local luminary, Deschutes Brewery, will ensure that there will be terrific micro-brews available, and a good 35 food vendors and restaurants to will supply the entire gamut of gastronomic delights! The art of sound comes alive on the Peak 104.1 Mainstage with Larry and His Flask, Sir Mix A lot, and many more. Portland’s grammy award nominated, and 80’s icons, Nu Shooz will perform with a full 10-piece-band along with, a 10-piece Earth Wind and Fire Tribute Band, and High Street up on the Cascade Sotheby’s International Realty Jazz, Wine, and Gourmet Food Stage! Saxon’s Fine Jewelers “Soul Brunch” Sunday, will feature the soulful sounds of Kalimba (the EWF Tribute Band) along with two other artist steeped heavy in the sounds of good soul music. And the KPOV, Rely Local, Local’s Only Stage, will feature some of Bend’s top and emerging artists, including Rum and the Sea, All in All, Weather Machine, and Strive Roots. Other features of the event include a terrific family area, produced with some enormous heavy lifting by The City of Bend’s Cheryl Howard. The Cascade Sotheby’s Jazz Wine and Gourmet Foods street will feature more than 24 gourmet food and wine vendors. And there’s a block full of conscious living vendors, led by Jim Kone, offering tips and services to live a healthier life! And, of course, there is no admission to the festival-- largely due to continued generosity of Bank of the Cascades! Here’s to Marna, Ashley, Shannon, Shannon, Susan, Darlene and Roni, Tracy, Josh, Ryan, Michelle, Leann, Melissa, Bruce, Erica, Tiffany, Al, Ernie, Larry, Dale (and Dr. Richard Clark) and countless others who have come before- as C3 Events is honored to continue its production of the Bank of the Cascades Bend Summer Festival, presented by The Source Weekly. So help us spread the love, with deepest bows of gratitude to our amazing festival director Michelle Roats and her exemplary staff led by Melissa King, Leann Schoales, and Lee Perry, by joining us to live it, taste it, chew it, view it, and hear it, (got it?) at the Bank of the Cascades Bend Summer Festival presented by The Source Weekly! Here’s to 25 more years!
Sincerely, Cameron Clark Owner, C3 Events

2015 BEND SUMMER FESTIVAL FINE ART In honor of the 25th anniversary of the Bank of the Cascades Bend Summer Festival presented by The Source Weekly and Hayden Homes, the official fine art for the festival features the work of Bend native, Shelli Walters. “Blue Guitar with Bird” is featured on the official event fine art poster.

Shelli’s painting process is a synthesis of having a plan and allowing the work to evolve. She paints from her thoughts and experiences, exploring images ranging from landscapes and flowers, to animals and bicycles. Her intention is to evoke a sense of freedom, joy and empowerment through images everyone can relate to. “My paintings are an imperfect commingle of paint, typography, graphics, pattern, sketch and texture. Discovering the surprises and mixing these elements reveal in every painting as I push and pull paint around the surface keeps me engaged and inspired.”
Bend Summer Festival reaches beyond financial support to include active participation from the Bank’s team members. Come visit our Bank of the Cascades tent on the corner of Wall and Oregon Streets to meet our friendly cascade bankers. The Bank of the Cascades Bend Summer Festival is a perfect way to celebrate summer, and our great community. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing so many families enjoying the Bend Summer festival, that’s what community banking is all about!

What started as a solo MC/guitar looping project transformed into a vibrant live band featuring funky baselines, flashy horns, fresh beats and gritty melodic conscious hip hop vocals backed by psychedelic instrumentation with hints of *Black Keys + The Roots + Sound Tribe Sector 9.
Led by the soulful vocals of Ms. Sarah Clarke and enhanced by verses from mc Evv’n’flo, DR has emerged on the Pacific Northwest music scene with passion and flare. The unique ensemble intermingles classic and original tracks with a resounding presence, no matter how big or small the venue.
Sir Mix A Lot Sir Mix-A-Lot parlayed a gonzo tribute to women with large buttocks into hip-hop immortality. But even before he struck crossover gold, Sir Mix-A-Lot was one of rap’s great D.I.Y. success stories. Coming from a city — Seattle — with barely any hip-hop scene to speak of, Mix-A-Lot co-founded his own record label, promoted his music himself, produced all his own tracks, and essentially pulled himself up by the proverbial American bootstraps. Even before “Baby Got Back,” Mix-A-Lot was a platinum-selling album artist with a strong following in the hip-hop community, known for bouncy, danceable, bass-heavy tracks indebted to old-school electro. Most recently, Sir Mix A Lot has performed with the Seattle Symphony. The rapper’s appearance at Benaroya Hall came about as part of the Seattle Symphony’s Sonic Evolution series, which commissions new orchestral work inspired by Seattle’s music icons. Gabriel Prokofiev, a London-based composer, DJ and producer (and grandson of the Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev), orchestrated “Baby Got Back” as well as the 1988 track “Posse on Broadway.”
Larry and His Flask Larry and His Flask return to the Bend Summer Festival for one of their only Reunion Tour Shows of 2015. Larry and His Flask are a high energy, five-piece carnival of a band that incorporate rock, folk, bluegrass, soul, brass band, punk and alt-country into their own unique sound. Some people call what they do “folk-punk”, others call it “a bluegrass traveling circus” and everyone who’s een them live rightfully call Larry and His Flask “down right WILD”. But no matter what you call it, this is a band that has to be seen to be believed.

Fast forward to the present…
In April 1985 Valerie Day, John Smith, and their band NU SHOOZ, released the fivesong EP ‘Tha’s Right!’. Acting on a dare from a local music writer, Gary Bryan of Portland Oregon’s KKRZ put the song “I Can’t Wait” on the air. Listener reaction was strong and immediate- the kind of response known in radio jargon as ‘Instant Phones.’ But this was no overnight sensation. By the time the whole world heard about the Soul band from Oregon, they’d spent seven years onstage, four hours a night, four or five nights a week. So, when their spotlight moment came, the Shooz could get up and play. By the end of the year “I Can’t Wait” was a regional hit. But the song really took off when it was remixed by Dutch DJ Peter Slaghuis. Atlantic Records signed the band in January 1986. “I Can’t Wait” eventually reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Other hits followed. NU SHOOZ was nominated for a Best New Artist Grammy in 1987. What a long, strange, beautiful trip it’s been.

A pretty little thing with a kitten strut and a church smile, Ms. Billings is not yet what one might call seasoned, but she has nevertheless been swiftly welcomed into the oftentimes exclusive blues family—which should tell you something—gigging with the respectable likes of the Norman Sylvester Band, Renato Caranto, and Portland’s own Boogie Cat. Her band as well will strike you more as baby-faced beginners than the grizzled sort of blues cats that often grace the stages of Buffalo Gap or Knuckleheads. However, like Billings, they’ll surprise you with their chops.
Keegan Smith and The Fam have been a refreshing staple of Northwest music scene for nearly a decade. Smith’s trailblazing style infuses medleys of the bands popular originals with memorable covers by the artists that have most inspired his musical growth. The sound has been compared to the likes of Bob Marley, soul troubadour Martin Sexton, the story rhyme telling of Wyclef Jean, with the gravel filled melodies of Everlast. The Fam’s sound has been deemed Urban-Americana (Reggae/Funk/ Folk/Hop) and when their improv takes off, the party people rock!!!

Dillon Schneider
Lino began studying guitar at the age of nine with classical master, George Bachmann. During his high school years, he was naturally drawn to rock music, although it never diverted him from his interest in classical. “I was very lucky to have been instructed in classical music before I ventured into the rock realm,” Lino explains. “It made me a well-rounded musician and gave me a lot to draw from as a composer later on.

Thank You!
The Bank of the Cascades Bend Summer Festival presented by The Source Weekly and Hayden Homes is the cumulative effort of literally hundreds of staff, volunteers and sponsors. This festival is not possible without the support of the Bend Downtown Business Association and the City of Bend, the insanely hard work of C3 Events, the efforts of several very important independent contractors, and phenomenal financial support from Bank of the Cascades.

She is precious, irreplaceable.

Leann Schoales, Food Vendor Manager/Event Lead Leann is perhaps, the most talented event technician and food vending procurement specialist, in C3’s history. She has the perfect set of skills- combining outstanding sales and customer relationships with a knack for design and event aesthetic. You’ll find Leann onsite at the festival ensuring details are covered and coordinating with our food vendors. Lee Perry-Gibbens, Operations Director Owner of the event planning/talent purchasing/consulting firm “Event-Theory,” Lee returns to the Bend Summer Festival as the single most experienced event logistics and operations planning coordinator in Central Oregon. Lee has previously worked with Lay it Out Events and C3 Events for more than 15 years.

Erika Erkel, Gourmet Jazz Food & Wine coordinator Erika interned for C3 events “back in the day” and has returned to coordinate the Gourmet Jazz Food & Wine street at the Bend Summer Festival with a wealth of knowledge and keen eye for “the details”. Erika is breathing new life into the street by infusing the atmosphere with her design aesthetic and bubbly personality.

Tiffany Clark, Art and Soul Tiffany Clark comes from the hospitality industry, where most recently she has been working as a Vice President for Operations and Marketing at a Texas Gulf home community, called Seahorse. Previously, she served as the Vice President of Marketing for Pronghorn Properties. She is a distiller of soul, a creator of beauty. Everything she touches (artist coordination, general counsel, event development) turns to gold. Cameron Clark, Owner, Meddler Cameron is a fluoroquinolone toxicity survivor, a cancer survivor and a dad. He finds his greatest joy in spending time with his daughters Cecilia Grace (10) and Liliana-Kayce-Marie (7). He has been producing award winning events since 1984 (31 years). He is passionate about building community and looks forward to a great festival. Kirsten Staack, Operations Lead Jazz and Wine Street Kirsten came to us in 2014, after being heavily recruited by Melissa King. She ran lead operations for the NorthWest Crossing Saturday Farmers’ Market, and quickly established herself as an elite operations force, capable of doing the work of several staff all at once. She is highly skilled, her work ethic is off the charts, and her attitude is extraordinary- she is a gem, and will run a crew with incredible precision and detail. Jami Garrett, Bookkeeping A long time local bookkeeper, Jami manages to create systems and develop protocol that keeps all the assorted accounting, on site, on track. A deeply spiritual soul, Jami brings both angels and math skills to our festivals (and you can’t possibly have enough of either!). Bradley Paul O’Neal, Graphic Design, Special Ops Lead Growing up in suburban Seattle, Bradley spent many of his teenage and young adult summers, coming to bend and working on the C3 Events operations crew. He is a brilliant fine artist, and a talented drummer. After graduating from Western Washington University with a degree in Graphic Design, Bradley with his great, big, heart, took his first design gig with Microsoft, and found that he was missing something. In search of existential answers- Brad moved to his sacred place, Bend, Oregon, in the winter of 2014, and lends C3 Events, now, his massive, creative, design skills, the use of an occasional paint brush, and he has helped to keep his uncle going during vulnerable times. On top of all of that, he is the greatest cousin that two little girls could ever have! Kirsten Morrell, Intern A native Bendite and recent graduate of the University of Oregon, Kirsten joined the C3 team a mere two weeks prior to the Bend Summer Festival kick-off. We’re impressed. At Oregon, she was a founding member of the Student Event Planners Association where she planned student activities and events. We are so fortunate to have this bright and outgoing young person as a member of our team this summer.
