Before we get into the streams, some real-world concert updates. As many of you may have seen, the 2020 4 Peaks Music Festival canceled last week due to COVID-19. The annual event, slated June 18-21, was to feature headliners Grace Potter, JJ Grey & Mofro, Keller Williams, Lettuce and much more. Full refunds will be available; visit 4peaksmusic.com for more information.
Roots rocker Brandi Carlile's performance, scheduled May 23 at Les Schwab Amphitheater, has been postponed. It's the second show to drop from the venue's schedule following country star Chris Young, who canceled his May 8 performance. But Carlile is working to reschedule her date. Visit bendconcerts.com for more information.
OK, now that's out of the way, let's go to therapy.
Show Up Central Oregon's Locals Only Musical Event
Matthew Hand, owner of Hand in Hand Productions and the video face of internet network Show Up Central Oregon, posted a video to the page Saturday asking for submissions for a Locals Only Musical Event to stream April 17, 18 or 19. You can watch that video here, and the submission form for artists is here.
Show Up Central Oregon is looking for musicians and bands from Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook counties. The form asks for your name, email, group name if applicable, home city and a short bio to be used as an introduction for the video segment. After filling it out, the site takes you to a link to upload a performance video. The video must be at least 720p resolution.
Hand is still working out how long the final event will be, he said in the video. It could end up being a couple of hours, or a full day of music. There's still time, so head over to the submission form and upload your video.
Worthy Roots updates
The Worthy Roots Relief Fund live streams continue this week with blues rocker Eric Leadbetter at 6 this evening (check it out here). Leadbetter recently started St. Charles Meal Mission, and has been donating tips from his live streams to help feed St. Charles hospital staff during the pandemic. That will continue with this stream.
Saturday's Worthy Roots stream will feature local Latin dance songwriter Shireen Amini. Check that one out here.
