Baz Moto is a high-energy cover band playing hits and deep cuts through the decades to today! Influences range from New Wave to funk to metal to rap to classic rock to pop, and everything in between. One of the founding members of Baz Moto, Blake Sakamoto, was the keyboardist in the Dan Reed Network (Mercury/Polygram Records), the funk rock band from Portland. Two other band members, Camille Denny (drums) and Annelise Josserand (bass), were in Erotic City and Madam Torment. Guitarist Brandon Navia is from My Siamese Twin. The other founding member, Bronwyn Baz, fronted '80s cover band Members Only. Nearly all played in the Nu Wavers.
Acoustic Rock and Reggae.
Blonde Neon is your favorite girl wave party band featuring all the high-energy, danceable ‘80s new wave and rock tracks by the best female artists of the decade. If you crave songs by Blondie, Missing Persons, Berlin, Pat Benatar, Heart, Go-Go's, Eurythmics, and more, then you'll feel right at home with Blonde Neon.
Rich Layton & Tough Town are keepers of the flame for American roots music. It's high octane swamp rock, country, rockabilly and the honky tonk blues echoing from an East Texas roadhouse. The band has a signature sound that sits right alongside such eclectic artists as Marty Stuart, Shooter Jennings and Lukas Nelson. Each set takes audiences for a ride from Sun Studios to Chess Records, and Muscle Shoals to Bakersfield. Rich's original songs fit seamlessly into the mix, weaving his Gulf Coast roots through tales of rock and roll redemption, harmonica-fueled and swampified.
Together over a decade now, the band has released three albums and performs at major festivals and showcase clubs throughout the Northwest. Each year, Rich joins Lyle Lovett as a special guest when Lyle tours the NW. Rich also has played on Portland tour stops by his long-time friends Lucinda Williams, Buckwheat Zydeco (R.I.P.), Dale Watson and many more.
