Author Robert Putnam suggests that individuals are happier and healthier when they experience a greater sense of bonding and bridging (through gathering). The NorthWest Crossing Bend Spring Festival promotes this very idea- it’s an opportunity for people to come together, to connect, and to use the arts to create a vivid community tapestry that reflects the beauty of our Central Oregon landscape. All of our seasonal festivals set out to accomplish this, but the Spring Festival is designed especially to welcome the greater community out of it’s collective winter slumber, and for us to revel in “April prepares her the awesome sense of promise and possibility that one finds most central green traffic light and to this season.

9:15PM | FRUITION

5:30PM | TIM SNIDER

When Portland-based musician, Tim Snider headed to Sao Paulo, Brazil in 2012 he couldn’t know that he was about to meet his musical twin and dear friend, Caio Andreatta. From these two very diverse musicians, drawing on a musical history developed almost 7,000 miles apart, IN BRAZIL was born. While most of the album was recorded in Sao Paulo, Snider recruited a few Portland musical powerhouses to round out the sound: Max Ribner on flugelhorn and the amazing vocals of soultress, Saeeda Wright (Liv Warfield).

Sharing a common love of music and life on the road, Fruition were originally brought together by the lure of adventure. For the last six years, the Portland, Ore. string infused quintet has racked up the miles playing sold out shows in their adopted hometown and garnering new fans across the country. Fruition released Just One of Them Nights in 2013 and it’s an album that finds the band tackling the many struggles and successes that come along with living a vagabond lifestyle and the search for artistic clarity.

7:00PM | WILDERNESS

Performing Saturday 4/11

11:00AM | THE MOMS

THE MOMS

MOMS is the lovechild of Nashville narratives, Oregon folk roots and LA atmosphere. Their relationship began during college in Tennessee, and six years later they have found themselves as a creative duo in Los Angeles.

Since the formation, MOMS has been covering ground in LA and Oregon, writing and playing in a variety of venues, festivals and backyards. “Our dream writing session is being surrounded by a million instruments. The process starts with the hum of a melody or the truth of an experience, and from there the creation madness begins. We often find ourselves writing songs outside of a specific genre, with the end goal being an honest story -- at least through our eyes.”

| JACOB WESTFALL BAND

Originally from Nashville, and now residing in Portland, Oregon, Jacob Westfall is a 21-year-old singer-songwriter with a strong appreciation for the craft. Soulful vocals that are consistently compared to Michael Bublé and John Mayer support the songwriter in his performances. He wrote his first song at age nine, and on April 7th, released his first commercially available album, “What If”, which was produced, recorded, and engineered by renowned Portland producers Bob Stark (Esperanza Spalding, Decemberists, The Shins), Ryan Yerdon (Puddle of Mudd, Weezer), and Steve Sundholm (Carrie Underwood, One Republic). Jacob is a career artist, and has set goals to allow him to do this for the rest of his life. Always writing, always creating.

heels to. The Junebugs originated on the Vancouver, BC circuit before migrating south to Portland, OR. There, guitarist Barrett picked up drummer Kyle Owen and bassist Sean Vinson, equally bearded and hailing from impressive musical backgrounds. Covering everything from Tom Petty to TLC to Lorde, the eclectic taste of the trio ranges from turn­of­the­century 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.

5:00PM

Imagine if you put R. Kelly through a banjo. Led by frontman and beard enthusiast Moses Barrett, The Junebugs combine high­energy pop with Pacific Northwest folksy goodness to create a genre­bending sound you can kick up your

Performing Sunday 4/12

11:00AM | MIGUEL D’ALONSO Miguel de Alonso plays instrumental Latin Jazz on Guitar and Violin as well as Oud and other Middle Easter instruments like the Baglama and Bouzouki. This multi-instrumentalist and composer begging performing at the age of 12 playing Latin American folk instruments from most regions of the continent. He is an Ethnomusicologist who did his musical studies in Mexico, France, Germany, and Canada. The music he plays is characterized by extensive use of Latin percussion, lively rumba flamenco rhythms, and his own brilliant soloing techniques. In California, he plays with his In Tempo Band for festivals like the Festival of the Arts, the Sawdust Arts Festival, and the Orange County Fair, among others. In Bend, he is a member of the Middle Easter Band Imzady who this time, will accompany him for his appearance at the Bend Spring Fest.

| WEATHER MACHINE

The Weather Machine’s sophomore full-length, Peach, was recorded over the course of two years, and showcases the band’s transition from folk-born storytelling into the realm power-ballads and effects pedals. Common threads of levity and intrigue tie the album together as the project experiments with musical identity to cover a breadth of sonic and lyrical ground. It’s not quite “tongue and cheek,” but Peach makes the listener wonder, pitting a faux-country anthem called “Wannabe Cowboys” right up against the electronic slow-jam title track, then moving deftly along into “Breakup Song” – a tune worthy of high-kicking chorus lines. Recorded between Pacific City and Portland, OR, the album was produced by the band’s guitarist Colin Robson at Kiwanda Sound Recordings and debuts on March 24, 2015.

7:00PM

JACOB WESTFALL BAND

1:00PM

WEATHER MACHINE

Bend Oregon based Wilderness is a band dancing somewhere between the lines of rock n roll, folk, and experimental-noise-pop… If there is such a thing…

Appropriately described by the Bulletin’s music editor, Ben Salmon, as a “..northof-the-border version of Southwestern roots act Calexico, or an earthbound take on Explosions in the Sky’s celestial jams, …or Wilco indulging their ragged edge.

With an experimental streak that occasionally runs the stop sign.” An energetic, and sometimes chaotic live show that’s as dynamic as it is engaging, Wilderness is just as the name implies, not only a quiet place to reflect, but the unknown, the edge, the other side of the line.

| EXCELLENT GENTLEMEN

Growing up together in New York forged a bond between these musicians that is evident in their lock-tight pockets and seemingly telepathic stage interactions.

From their roots in the East coast neo-soul and hip-hop communities, these friends have forged a signature sound that is steeped in sweet soulfulness and ferocious grooves. Excellent Gentlemen plays danceable, vocal Soul R&B music. Think: 70’s block parties and golden-age hip-hop records. Their music stands for positivity, love, happiness and getting sexy.

9:00PM

| STAXX BROTHERS

The Staxx Brothers are a high energy American band, hailing from Seattle, Washington, that has spent the last seven years crafting an incredible new sound they’ve branded Hard Ass Soul. It’s quite simply the most danceable and hip shaking brand of rock & roll to hit US streets since Motown left Detroit. Where modern Rock most often has forgotten its Roll, The Staxx Brothers make it back to the juke joint, and take you back to the black church, dragging modern rock by its collar right back to its birthright - with an epic flare that matches any of the classics.

1:00PM | LEVI WEAVER

Levi Weaver is not the kind of artist who likes to sit still for very long. To borrow a line from Willie Nelson, one of his favorite songwriters, he just can’t wait to get on the road again. The multi-instrumental singer/songwriter, who recently packed up his house and bought an RV for his family to travel the country with him in, readily admits to his inherent wanderlust. Weaver’s perpetual on-the-move lifestyle helps fuel the churn of the core concepts explored on his latest and most affecting album, Your Ghost Keeps Finding Me (Rock Ridge Music).

3:00PM | MBRASCATU

Mbrascatu is a fusion of the cobbled streets and cafés of the Old World and the creative melting pot of Portland. The band is a group of talented musicians that draw from very different musical backgrounds to create a unique blend of sounds encompassing European and American roots. Since the formation of the band, back in 2010, Mbrascatu, has performed extensively throughout the Pacific Northwest delighting many at the hottest music venues, outdoor festivals, bars, clubs and local radio stations.

Behind the Curtain CONSTRUCTING A SPRING FESTIVAL About C3 Events and staffing the event

Michelle Roats

FESTIVAL DIRECTOR A veteran leader of C3 Events, Michelle Roats proved to be one of the finest in C3 Events history.

She has returned this year to manage the Bend Spring Festival. The festival will be buttoned up and well cared for by Michelle’s talented, highly organized and dynamic ways.

Lee Perry-Gibbens

OPERATIONS DIRECTOR Owner of the event planning/talent purchasing /consulting firm “Event-Theory,” Lee comes to the Spring 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.

Jim Cone

CONSCIOUS LIVING SHOWCASE DIRECTOR Jim launched this grass roots street dedicated to non-profits, mom and pop businesses, green living, and healthy lifestyles four seasons ago. It’s all about community. Jim’s history in green building, and owning his own steel construction company has made him a massive asset for our team.

Kilee Johnson

Leann Schoales

F

or 25 years, C3 Events has been a different sort of contractor, building community in Central Oregon. Company founder, Cameron Clark, studied the notion of “community” while working on his masters degree at the University of Redlands. While there he discovered that connection led to care; that moving folks with beauty prompted more curation of beauty. And so, in 1990, he moved to Central Oregon and brought these same intentions to Bend! C3 founded Munch and Music in 1991, and added the Bend Spring, Summer and Fall Festivals shortly thereafter. In addition C3 Events has produced Peak Summer Nights at the Athletic Club of Bend, Munch and Movies, the Woodland Park Zoo Concerts (in Seattle), Maya Angelou, the Hullabaloo and the Saturday Farmers’ Market (our favorite new event). Building community requires heavy lifting. Our team, this weekend will be asked to defy impossible odds (more than once).

Here’s a bit about each of these lovely community builders...

EVENT LEAD/FOOD VENDOR COORDINATOR Leann was perhaps, the most talented event technician in C3’s history.

She has the perfect knack for design and event aesthetic. You’ll find Leann onsite at the festival ensuring details are covered and coordinating with our food vendors.

Melissa King

SPIRIT AND SPONSORSHIP SALES Melissa has combined her extensive experience in sales and food and beverage to become one of the brightest stars in the C3 Events hemisphere. Melissa’s ethic of care and love of events have led her to her current roles in sponsorship and beverage sales and event lead management.

Tiffany Clark

ART AND SOUL Tiffany Clark comes from the hospitality industry, where most recently 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

ADA COMPLIANCE DIRECTOR As a community minded advocate for health and wellness, and as a lovely human being, Kilee is perfectly suited to fill the role of C3 Events ADA liaison. Additionally, Kilee will be available to help with any questions or concerns for event attendees.

OWNER, MEDDLER Cameron is a cancer survivor who finds his greatest joy in spending time with his daughters Cecilia Grace (9) and LilianaKayce-Marie (6). He has been producing award winning events since 1984 (30 years).

He is passionate about building community and looks forward to a great 2015 season.

Tracy Delperdang

FINE ARTIST COORDINATOR Tracy is a seasoned event professional with more than 15 years of related experience in event coordination and non-profit fundraising. As an arts and culture enthusiast, Tracy coordinates the fine artist section of the Bend Spring Festival.
