At the end of our trip to Seaside, we went down to Bend, OR to see three of our favorite bands perform together at an outdoor concert. It was awesome.
Blind Pilot opened first, they did great.
The lead singer Israel, in the green jacket, is from Skyler's hometown.
Listen to one of my favorites here.
Next up, The Head and The Heart performed.
SO GOOD. I hope they come out with some more music soon, they are great!
Check out some of their awesome tunes here.
Last up was The Shins!
One of the first friends I made after moving to Portland almost 7 years ago, Clifford, introduced me to them and a whole bunch of other musicians that I've grown to love. This was one of my first favorites.
Then after finishing school and moving a bunch of times, I moved back to Portland just as The Shins released their new album Wincing the Night Away. Skyler and I were still dating and he gifted me the album. A couple months later we got engaged, I got my first "real" job and moved again into the smallest studio Portland could offer, needless to say I have some very fond memories that tied to this album. Sleeping Lessons and Phantom Limb are a couple of my favorites.
Just recently they came out with a brand new album, Port of Morrow.
Simple Song has been really popular.
We really enjoyed the concert and are so glad we could make it before this baby comes.
