w/ Babytooth & Bory
Vista House:
Vista House is a country rock band from Portland, Oregon, known for blending heartfelt storytelling with electrifying performances. Since 2015, they’ve been captivating audiences with a sound that bridges the gap between classic Americana roots and power pop energy. With core members Annie Fifer (vocals, guitar), Andy Rusinek (guitar), Al Nelson (drums), and Ellie Conroy (keys) the band crafts emotionally resonant songs that stay with listeners long after the last note. Their latest album, They’ll See Light, showcases their growth as artists, featuring rich harmonies, layered instrumentals, and reflective lyrics inspired by life in the Pacific Northwest.
Babytooth:
Babytooth is the full band project of Portland singer/songwriter Isabel Zacharias (back home from a three-year hiatus in Minneapolis). A rotating cast of friends has brought the songs to life, with the Portland lineup including Annie Fifer playing lead guitar, Hugh Jepson playing drums, and Benson Chong playing bass. Elaborating on Pacific Northwest indie of the '90s, the songs skate between noisy melodic rock and twinkly folk experiments.
Bory:
Bory is the project of Portland-based songwriter Brenden Ramirez, who just two releases into his young career has proven himself one of the most engaging power pop songwriters of his moment. Where his debut suggested a promising songwriter taking his first steps toward defining the contours of his sound, his sophomore LP, Never Turns To Night delivers a fully-realized vision of Bory, elevating and refining the elements that made his debut so appealing.
Ramirez brings a rare nuance to a collection of songs that are at turns quieter and wilder than anything he's previously released. From the harmonized guitar strut of opener "We'll Burn That Bridge When We Get To It," to the squalling instrumental interludes of "That's Jazz," to the pinpoint harmonies of "Living Proof," it's an album that strikes a fine balance between gentleness and bombast, elevating its earnest, soft-spoken songs with a daring and sophisticated approach to arrangement.
If Bory's debut established Ramirez as a candidate for a place in the power pop canon, then Never Turns To Night confirms that he belongs there and promises to have an impact far beyond the genres confines.
