The BundyBand plays music inspired by New Orleans and the Pacific Northwest. The band features many musicians who have been playing together in various formations for nearly 4 decades. The original 11 piece BundyBand tackles any style of music: Second line brass band tunes, New Orleans inspired funk, classic rock and soul, original songs about Humanzees, Interplanetary Con Men, and Han Solo, or even covers from artists like Charles Wright, The Beatles, The Band, or Phish. Sometimes Savage tears the fabric of space time with his flute. Sometimes Bundy even plugs his clarinet into a bunch of pedals and breaks your mind. If we get it right, the music goes somewhere really special, and we all go along for the ride.

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.
