ORQUESTRA PACIFICO TROPICAL
Over the past decade, Orquestra Pacifico Tropical has built a reputation for explosive and exciting sets of electrifying, psychedelic cumbia. They’ve performed at music festivals around the Pacific Northwest, including Treefort Music Fest, PDX Pop Now!, Freakout, Lose Yr Mind, Soul’d Out, Biamp Portland Jazz Festival and more, with live shows that have been described as a “jubilant rhythmic frenzy” and “mind-altering”. OPT has been proud to share the stage at beautiful theaters and hails around the PNW with legendary acts like Ural Thomas and the Pain, Y La Bamba, Thee Sacred Souls, The Dandy Warhols, Edna Vasquez and many other incredible groups. Their third album “El Poder” will be released on June 19th, 2026.
On a gloomy Pacific Northwest weekend in November 2020, OPT started writing new material at a beach-side cabin for what would become their third full length album, “El Poder”. The cloudy, overcast mood of the coastal forest afforded obvious inspiration which could subsequently be heard on the demo recordings. A warm, inviting Living-room-session amongst close friends, truly allowed for spontaneous creativity and earnest musicianship at a crucial developmental stage in the album’s trajectory.
“El Poder” finds OPT continuing its traditional cumbia-centric path, while also delving into salsa, and psychedelic northwest-inspired sounds. “El Poder” is Orquestra Pacific Tropical at the height of their powers, satisfying the veteran listener as well as offering new sonic explorations and a wholy unique latin music experience.

COUNTRYSIDE RIDE
Countryside Ride is a five-piece traditional Country and Western Honkytonk Dance band that has been entertaining audiences throughout the Pacific Northwest for two decades. Playing festivals, dances, special events, and rodeos like the Pendleton Roundup, Countryside Ride consistently entertains four generations of music fans while breathing new energy into traditional Country music. Additionally, Countryside Ride has shared the stage with acts like Wayne “The Train” Hancock, Rosie Flores, Hellbound Glory, Summer Dean, and many others. Although they have released two of their own records, Countryside Ride’s repertoire is vast and incorporates multiple sub-genres of American music as well: making them the Pacific Northwest’s premier Honkytonk dance band.
“It’s more than just fashionable fools donning cowboy hats and bolo ties—the music of classic country has also been in the throes of a pocketed resurgence. Indie musicians in their 30s have started paring down their layers, adding pedal steel, and discovering folks like George Jones, Buck Owens, and Merle Haggard—songwriters who did more with less. The johnny-come-latelys would do well to take a gander at Countryside Ride, who aren’t old-timers, but spot-on, honky-tonk preservationists capable of teaching a master class. The Clark County, Washington, group knows what it takes to make a great bar band: For a decade they’ve played mostly covers with easy, ego-less finesse and aplomb. From the plunking stand-up bass, to the swinging, minimalist drums, to the crisp, plucky Telecaster twang, to the love-sick croon and hootin & hollers, Countryside Ride is as timeless and sturdy as their vernacular.”
— ANDREW R TONRY, The Portland Mercury

20th Anniversary of Kiteboard 4 Cancer
2026-07-10 15:00 - 2026-07-12 18:00 | Hood River Event Site
In 2007, Kiteboard 4 Cancer was founded by three Gorge locals inspired to put on a small event for community good.
One of those founders, Tonia Farman, led the event for its first fifteen years as it grew into a beloved community tradition. After several years away, Tonia has returned to help guide KB4C into its next chapter, reigniting the event with the same spirit of purpose and community that started it all.
There will be kiteboarding, winging, foiling, art-ing, eating, swimming and more fun activities for our community to come take part in!
For the past 17 years, KB4C has benefited organizations such as Children’s Hospital Seattle, Children’s Healing Art Project, John Wayne Cancer Foundation, Celilo Cancer Center, OHSU Adolescent & Young Adult Clinic, and Project Koru, the local organization here in Hood River that was started because of Kiteboard 4 Cancer.
New this year, KB4C will select three beneficiary organizations whose work strengthens the Gorge community in the areas of cancer care and support, and/or mental health and wellness.
This approach allows the event to support several impactful programs each year while staying focused on the well-being of our community. Organizations aligned with these focus areas are invited to apply to become a KB4C beneficiary. Learn more at KB4C.org

Hot Damn Scandal / James Rossi at Trout Lake Hall
2026-07-10 18:00 - 21:00 | Trout Lake Hall, 15 Guler Rd, Trout Lake, WA, 98650, United States
Friday, July 10th, 2026
$15 Advance // $15 Day Of Show6pm Doors / 7pm ShowAll Ages
HOT DAMN SCANDALHot Damn Scandal finds its songs under park benches and in forgotten alleyways, on the corner of Tom Waits and Gershwin. The resulting outlaw ballads, dirty jazz, circus freakouts, shanty-rags, string band funk, lonesome heart-breakers, and whiskey bottle love songs blend together in what may be best described as ‘Cabaret Americana’: theatrical, orchestral, lyrical, and endlessly danceable.
The group began as a nebula of traveling musicians formed around the songs of founder Pete Irving over 15 years ago. Firmly rooted in Bellingham, WA since 2016, they have become a staple in the ever evolving NW music scene.
With influences ranging from Roma Swing to Motown, from Klezmer too Country, they’ll be in your ears and on your mind for good after you’ve seen them once.
JAMES ROSSIInstantly recognizable by his elastic bass vocals, harmonic sensibility and poetic bent, James Rossi is both a careful crafter of originals songs and a renovator of unsung classics from the early 20th-century.

Kimmi Bitter / County Line at Trout Lake Hall
2026-07-11 18:00 - 21:00 | Trout Lake Hall, 15 Guler Rd, Trout Lake, WA, 98650, United States

KIMMI BITTER
Dubbed “the future of classic country” by Saving Country Music, Kimmi Bitter has emerged as a leading voice of the New Countrypolitan sound. By fusing the golden-era spirit with West Coast energy, her blend of 1960s Nashville grandeur, surf-soaked guitar tones, and mod aesthetics has earned her a devoted following across the country. Often described as Patsy Cline set against a Quentin Tarantino soundtrack, Bitter’s music evokes a midcentury California dream: cinematic, timeless, and transportive.
A fast-rising force in Americana, Bitter first turned heads with her acclaimed 2024 debut, Old School. The album quickly broke into the Top 25 Americana Album Radio Chart and held the No. 1 spot on the Alt. Country Speciality Chart for four consecutive weeks. It was also featured in Billboard’s “8 Must-Hear New Country Songs” and named one of Whiskey Riff’s Top Debut Albums. The release earned eight award nominations, culminating in three San Diego Music Awards, including Best Country Album (2025), along with back-to-back Song of the Year wins (2024 & 2025). Her live performances have since been praised as “one of the biggest takeaways” at both Austin’s SXSW and Nashville’s AmericanaFest.
Now, Bitter returns with her highly anticipated sophomore album, Bittersweet, arriving late summer 2026. A sun-faded West Coast Countrypolitan record inspired by Pacific coastlines, Palm Springs glamour, and the psychedelic desert haze of the 1960s. Across 13-tracks, the album unfolds in two acts: moving from breezy, Countrypolitan warmth into desert-noir twilight. Distinctively her own, it is both a continuation of Bitter’s vintage-rooted vision and a bold expansion of the world she’s built.
Backed by her band, The Westside Twang, Kimmi Bitter is no longer simply reviving a classic sound; she is redefining it for a new era. With a rapidly expanding audience, a singular artistic identity, and a vision that reaches far beyond nostalgia, Kimmi Bitter stands at the forefront of modern classic country.
COUNTY LINE County Line is a Columbia River Gorge-based quintet playing an original mix of roots-rock and Americana music. The line-up includes Kerry Williams on mandolin and guitar,Jeremy Hadden on bass, Tim Ortlieb on drums, Larry Wyatt on guitar, and songwriter Matt Mesa on guitar. They are a lively presence on stage showcasing some fiery picking and harmony vocals.

THE LOSTINES
THE LOSTINES: Superimposing Everly Brothers-style harmonies atop lilting guitar and doo-wop-inspired instrumentation, Camille Wind Weatherford and Casey Jane Reece-Kaigler transmit messages of disillusionment, enduring romanticism, and tenacious hope. Named after a river in the duo’s native Oregon and cultivated in the New Orleans DIY scene where the pair met, The Lostines’ chemistry is both forward-looking and a throwback, born of seemingly disparate aesthetics — classic country, Louisiana dance hall, mid-century girl groups.
Since joining forces in 2013, the Lostines have been transporting fans with bare and ethereal lullabies, smart harmonies, and wry call-and-response, all the while tempering that sincerity with an ample dose of tongue-in-cheek goofiness.

BLAIR BORAX
Born on the East Coast, and home to the West, Blair Borax began her relationship with music unexpectedly in 2016, when a friend gifted her a cheap guitar. Since then, Borax has become a prolific songwriter, recording artist, and performer, known for her distinctive voice, captivating melodies, and thoughtful songwriting that taps into the heart of being human. Since she quit her day job in 2022, she has released three full length albums and played over 350 shows across the country. Her third full length record, The Color Green (2025) is a collection of ten songs, searching for hope in dystopian times. Blending intimate storytelling, gorgeous melodies, and rich instrumentation, The Color Green wanders through growing up, falling in love, missing home, watching parents get old, thinking about life and death, and slowing down to savor all of it. Fans of Adrianne Lenker, Hannah Cohen, and Angie McMahon may find something to love in her music.
J.E. SUNDE
J.E. Sunde (Jonathan Edward Sunde) is a songwriter and composer based out of Minneapolis, MN. Jon studied western classical music with a vocal emphasis at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire. Starting in college, Jon spent ten years making beautifully unusual music with The Daredevil Christopher Wright. He has since released three solo records with his most recent record, “9 Songs About Love,” released in November of 2020. With a love of songwriters and performers like Leonard Cohen, Nina Simone, and Paul Simon, Jon writes densely poetic songs with a bent toward the philosophical. Also, his voice sounds like some sort of weird angel.
