New York, L.A., Hood River in 24 hours - Local band Flor Comes Home

RollingStone magazine recently wrote a feature article on local Hood River band Flor as they are coming out with the release of their third album Future Shine.

To celebrate the release of their album, Flor is set to perform three shows across the country within 24 hours on Friday, May 6 and Saturday, May 7. They’ll start in New York to celebrate the release, before flying to Los Angeles for a 10 a.m. show, and then ending the night with a performance in their native Hood River, Oregon.

CCCNews Entertainment Writer Jim Drake was well onto this weeks ago and, well, years ago.

Here is his piece on the band.

Flor plays Hood River May 7

The Wikipedia page for LA-based indie-rock band Flor says that they started out playing music in Hood River in 2014. But long-time locals like me, with archival memory and an extensive local band CD collection, know that Flor started out as the band Sunderland, which existed as early as 2010, albeit with slightly different personnel onboard. Now featuring Zach Grace (lead vocals, guitar, keyboards), McKinley Kitts (guitar), Dylan Bauld (bass), and Kyle Hill (drums), Flor makes an extremely rare appearance at Hood River’s River City Saloon on Saturday, May 7.

Moving away from the teenage-garage rock sounds of Sunderland, Flor’s music has evolved into heartfelt atmospheric pop, and Pandemic Era video shows the band performing complex original songs with confidence. For reasons unknown, the band has decided to do three shows in 24 hours for this leg of their tour and the Hood River show is the last stop of the day. Let’s hope that all travel plans and all regular seasonal non-thundersnow weather plans work out, so the band can rest up for their homecoming show.
