The Leadbetter Band -
Leadbetter Band was born in 2017, featuring Eric’s original songs. Their music vibe is vast and diverse. From a vintage rock sound with heavy/light jam sections, to a unique contemporary eclectic melting pot of songwriting styles.
The rhythm section is pro and tight featuring Aaron Moore on Bass and vocals, and Kaleb Kelleher on Drum set and back up vocals.
This Band is unique for many reasons, but having two lead vocalists (Leadbetter/ Moore) is pretty entertaining and memorable.
They focus performances mainly on original music, but the occasional cover song choices are tasteful and all over the sacred map of rock history. The first album, self titled, was released in 2019. Off the album are hard rock favorites like “Grand misconception” and bluesy “challenge me”.
The second full length album, “howl” was released in 2021. Both of those albums had Patrick Pearsall on bass and Dylan Bernal on drums. To be released in March of 2023 is the bands 3rd studio album “Cake”.
They opened for the legendary ZZ Top at the Britt amphitheater in August 2021 and the Britt side stage for blues traveler in sept 2022 which were both amazing experience!s!
The band is based out of Bend, OR and plays shows around the pacific northwest and beyond, entertaining and captivating music hungry listeners. Leadbetter Band delivers a stunning and engaging live performance that is not to be missed.
Gbots and The Journeymen -
Gbots and The Journeymen set sail in 2012, embarking on a evolution of sound, song writing and performance. The band formed in Bend, Oregon among the beautiful Cascade Mountains. Headed by front man Greg Botsford (Gbots), the band is an eclectic mix of funk, rock and soul. Gbots, a classically trained vocalistand graduate of Gonzaga University, brings a silky smooth yet robust singing style. He blends looping, beat-boxing, rhythm guitar and vocals for his unique layered sound. Gbots is joined by bassist Justin Lebart, drummer Jon Swifty and lead guitaist and vocalist mark Ransom.
The band recorded their debut album "Astrolabos" in 2017 at TRI Studios in San Rafael, California. The track "Endure", which chronicles the ill-fated Shackelton Expedition of 1915, was recently recognized by Sir Ernest H. Shackelton Appreciation Society in ENgland. In 2021 Greg released a solo compilation album titled "Infinite Possibilities", recorded at the Centtral Oregon Recording studio in Bend, Oregon. The Journeymen provide the foundation for the tracks but many local musicians are also featured as special guests. These albums are avilable on Apple Music, Spotify and other streaming/distribution platforms.
Gbots and The Journeymen have thrilled audiences throughout the Pacific Northwest and have become a local favorite in Central, Oregon. They have been featured in regional venues and festivals including 4 Peaks Music Festival, Roots Revival Festival, Summerfest, Winterfest, Raindance Music Festival, Volcanic Theatre, High Desert Music Hall, The Belfry and many others. Despite being a seasoned band for a decade, Gbots and The Jouneymen continue to evolve and polish their craft..
