Primal stream therapy, May 6

Welcome back to primal stream therapy. And apologies for the longer-than-usual radio silence; a pandemic is great for draining motivation. Never fear, because some cool things are coming down the pipeline.

Cancellations

But first, the bad news. Country singer Margo Price canceled her show scheduled June 16 at Oregon Spirit Distillers. The show was the first scheduled concert in KSJJ 102.9-FM's country concert series at the distillery. Refunds are available at the distillery for people who purchased tickets in-person; online tickets will be automatically refunded. Visit bendticket.com or Oregon Spirit Distillers' Facebook page for more information.

Dave Matthews Band rescheduled its entire summer tour for next year, including its show at Les Schwab Amphitheater slated for Sept. 9. That show has moved to Sept. 8, 2021. All previously purchased tickets will be honored at the new date. Visit bendconcerts.com for more information.

MTV Bend

Speaking of pandemics draining motivation, Dr. Green Dreams recently released a live music video dedicated to the stir-craziness we're all experiencing thanks to Oregon's lock down. The song, which I'm assuming is called "Coronavirus," gives listeners some (mostly) good advice on what to do in a pandemic, while lamenting that we can't see our friends and family in person and that we've all watched everything on Netflix. The song itself goes from a laid-back, reggae-funk groove into a hardcore breakdown at the end -- a good aural illustration of our collective descent into pandemic madness. Check it out on their Facebook page here.

Blues-rock trio The Leadbetter Band dropped a new music video for "Shivers" from its self-titled debut album. The song, one of the album's riff-ier rockers, celebrates getting back to nature and its awe-inspiring beauty, and the video fittingly splices footage of Bend's outdoors with the band performing outside and in the studio. The video, filmed by Brent Barnett of Future Filmworks before the lockdown began, is available on the band's website, ericleadbettermusic.com, or on Facebook.

Shows to stream

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten the live streams. Of course there's the Worthy Roots Relief Fund streams, which continue at 6 tonight with violin and fiddle prodigy CJ Neary and guitarist Richard Taelor (stream here). Acoustic country rocker KC Flynn is up at 6 p.m. Saturday (check that out here). As always, Worthy Brewing will donate $5 from every six pack sold on concert days to the Worthy Roots Relief Fund, benefiting musicians and industry workers affected by the pandemic.

Once-and-future Bendite Erin Cole-Baker, who recently moved back to the area after living in New Zealand for many years, will play a livestream concert with her husband and musical collaborator, Bruce, at 6 p.m. Saturday. Check out the event page here. The duo also recently submitted a video of the song "Future Us" for NPR's Tiny Desk Contest, which you can check out here.

There's more coming, so stay tuned. And if you know of a video, stream, album -- anything musical in Central Oregon that I've missed, really -- drop me a line in the comment section or email: brian.mcelhiney@gmail.com.
