The Ruins in Hood River
Glitterfox w/ Sunbathe
Doors at 5:30 p.m. Outdoor venue. All-ages. Pets not allowed.
Tickets are $20 in advance (click here,) or $25 at the door.
Glitterfox doesn’t chase the algorithm — they follow instinct, community, and a kind of magia (Basque for magic). Formed by longtime creative partners Solange Igoa and Andrea Walker, the Portland-based band has built their career the analog way: a van, a map, and unforgettable shows stitched across towns like constellations. Their rise has been defined by raw connection and fearless self-expression, with music that fuses garage rock grit, new wave shimmer, southern Americana soul, and a dancefloor pulse — all tangled with heart and heat until what emerges is unmistakably, inimitably Glitterfox.
Fruition
Friday, June 13
The Trout Lake Hall in Trout Lake, Wash.
Fruition / Ferguson
Grassroots, Rock, stacked vocal harmonies, wide all-encompassing sound, 6 p.m. Doors / 7 p.m. Show, 21+, General Admission $43 Advance // $45 Day Of Show, Cream of the Crop VIP Experience $115
Three songwriters. Five bandmates. More than 15 years together, building a grassroots audience with a combination of stacked vocal harmonies and collaborative, song-driven Americana. Fruition is proof that there's strength in numbers.
“How To Make Mistakes,” the band's first studio album in four years, showcases a reinvigorated group at the peak of its powers. This is American roots music at its broadest and boldest — a melting pot of rock, soul, folk, and pop. What began as a busking string band has evolved into something more eclectic, rooted not only in the unique delivery of three different singers, but also the cohesion of five friends who prefer their music to be homegrown and honest… mistakes and all.
