Sometimes Blind

Stitching together a blend of styles, Sometimes Blind is headed by singer-songwriter, Dan Van Ordstrand, who works with various other musicians in the studio and on stage. The band is based in Springfield, Oregon.

The sound of Sometimes Blind can be described as equal parts Jack Johnson mixed with John Mayer, with a dash of Black Keys and a pinch of Tom Petty. Notable achievements for the band include a feature article in the Spring 2018 edition of Emerald Valley Magazine, with the magazine saying of the band, "Blending several genres of music, Sometimes Blind mixes classic rock, folk, blues and jazz, into harmonious melodies that please the ear and sway the hips." They were also a finalist in the Sprout City Studio's Battle of the Bands in the summer of 2018, and a Top 10 Local Finalist in the KNRQ Next2Rock Contest in the fall of 2017. Since then, the band has released 4 EPs and is currently in the works to release a new EP in 2026.
