Blues Beatles started during the breaks of the rehearsals of Today – an original band that Marcos Viana\, Flavio Naves\, Lancaster Ferreira\, Bruno Falcão and Fred Barley started in 2010. Marcos\, the singer\, would invariably pick up his acoustic guitar and start playing Beatles songs. The other members of the band were amazed at how natural the songs sounded\, as if he had written them himself. The reason for this was that Marcos really identified with the songs and never imitated John or Paul. He simply sang with his own voice and from his heart. Being blues players the rest of the band started adding their blues twist to these “break songs”. One day Lancaster said: “why don’t we mix these two things we love to play? We could call this Blues Beatles!”Everyone loved the idea and together they started the Blues Beatles in 2013. The rest is history… \nDisclaimer: Dancing is permitted during all shows at The Bend Theater. By attending\, you acknowledge that audience members may stand\, move\, and dance during performances.

SUMMARY:Willy Porter Camp Hometown Heroes Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:Willy Porter – A Camp Hometown Heroes Fundraiser\nwith special guest Phil Norby\nSponsored by Forte Bank \nWilly Porter continues on a musical and personal odyssey spanning over two decades\, 13 albums\, and multiple continents. His journey has been defined by an inquisitive love for humanity and the language that describes what we all hold to be true. Porter’s songs weave a universal perspective about the questions\, struggles\, and triumphs of human existence. His live shows are guitar-driven grit\, soul\, silence and muscle– at times electrifying\, dynamic\, and unique in the way that Porter’s voice blends and fuses with his fret work. \nPorter’s breakthrough album\, Dog Eared Dream\, was released in 1994\, and the song “Angry Words” quickly became a staple at the burgeoning AAA radio format. This led to a major label deal with BMG/Private Music in 1995. Unfortunately\, Private was dismantled by BMG just as Porter was preparing to release his follow-up. With contractual freedom in 1998\, Porter quickly signed with the San Francisco-based label Six Degrees. There he released three albums beginning with the studio gem\, Falling Forward (1999)\, produced by multiple Grammy-winner Neil Dorfsman (Dire Straits\, Sting). The eponymous Willy Porter (2001) followed featuring great guest performances by Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull and Tony Levin. His fan-favorite solo disc\, High Wire Live (2003) was co-produced with Grammy-winner Ben Wisch (Marc Cohn\, Shawn Colvin). \nIn addition to making a life in music\, Porter finds ways to make an impact on local and international levels. He is an active supporter of Advocates of Ozaukee\, a shelter and treatment facility for victims of domestic violence and abuse in Mequon\, Wisconsin. His annual benefit concerts have raised more than $100\,000 for this organization to date. He is also an Ambassador for Guitars for Vets\, a Milwaukee-based International organization that works to improve the lives of veterans by providing them with guitars and music lessons. \nHundreds of FREE parking spots and great restaurants lining Main Street and surrounding area! We’ll see you soon!\n
