Portland's newest indie band, Gretta Seabird is singer, Lee McDonnell and guitarist, Jeremiah Brunnholzl who together make pop songs from the heart with big electronic bassy beats over each track. A Gretta Seabird show brings people together with joy and excitement which is just an all-around fun time. The music is accessible, soulful and at times tear-jerkingly heartfelt.
Vista House is the project of Tim Howe and a rotating cast of characters, spanning the width of the country. Howe's alt-country dad vibe makes way for moments of powerpop and introspective indie rock, all with a wink and a nod to remind us that nothing has to be that serious. Vista House's music, just as the iconic Columbia River landmark, serves as a marker in the road and a bend in the waterway, a reflection on where you've been and where you're headed.
