		June 4 - The Dirty Commies The Dirty Commies are not now, nor have ever been members of the Communist party. Now that we've got that out of the way let's tell you a bit abut the band. As mentioned above the aren't Communists but they are pretty dirty, enjoying some of the finer things in a musicians life like free pizza and a warm corner to play on.
		June 11 - Painted Grey Painted Grey is an Alternative Pop Rock band hailing from Portland, Oregon. With an unbridled passion for music, Painted Grey shines like a beacon in the foggy Pacific Northwest. Painted Grey is currently working on their second EP, due out in the later part of 2010, while also looking to extend their shows outside the Pacific Northwest.
		June 18 - The Shivas "We are a group of people who play instruments. We don't play them particularly well, but we look really good doing it." They have a record entitled "Where Have You Gone To?" which was released in April of 2008 with a third album in the works.
		June 25 - Fading Hail Fading Hail formed in the summer of 2009. Including vocalist/keyboardist Miles Hewitt, guitarist Sage Van Tilburg bass player Nathan Tang and drummer Quetzel Herzig, the group has jelled recently and is looking forward to a fairly full schedule in the summer of 2010. Their first album, Stories, is in the works and should be finished by August. Drawing influence from groups like Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Spoon, Fading Hail will continue to rock and record around the 'Couve."
		July 2 - There She Goes There She Goes started as a two-piece band formed by Christi Mangner and Amy Wells. Both from Texas, and now based in Vancouver, Washington. Fantastic original lyrics and harmonies, they perform as an acoustic duo, but frequently rock the house as a five piece band. Their sound is reminicent of Heart, perhaps a grungy Indigo Girls, and sometimes REM. Their audience is getting bigger and bigger, their sound getting stronger and stronger.
		July 9 - Ruby Hill Ruby Hill’s founding members, front man Matt Brown and bassist Jacob Battan joined together in 2006, in hopes of creating a fusion suited for the ever-growing music scene. Both hailed foundations as talented lead guitarists, influenced by everyone from Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder, to The Beatles and Pink Floyd.
		July 16 - Carrie Cunningham and Six Shooters With years of performing experience, Carrie religiously draws the audience into a wondrous musical experience that has them walking away certain that they have just witnessed a rising entertainer on her way to stardom. With her stage presence, the uncanny vocal resemblance of Linda Rondstandt meets Patsy Cline, it’s clear why Carrie Cunningham’s popularity is spreading like wildfire from the Northwest regions of the U.S. to scores of locations around the globe!
		July 23 - No Passengers NO PASSENGERS was created in January 2009 with the purpose of bringing a message of motivation and unity to all communities using lyrics sung both in English and Spanish. The band's members are all of Mexican descent and their music has been described as rock & roll with an accent, but vocalist Edna Vasquez brings an original voice to the rock scene that few can match due to her originality and experience as a Mariachi singer. The band as a whole is definitely inspired by American rock & roll, but their history plays out in their music and the lyrical content captures the struggle that we all face as we try to find acceptance from our peers.
		July 30 - Sons of Soil Portland Oregon based, SONS OF SOIL creates reggae music to heal and inspire those working for change.  Surfing the spectrum of life and reggae, their songs range from joyous ska jams to blood-fire roots grooves. Dance, sing, think, get involved. SONS OF SOIL is fresh fruit from the reggae root.

		September 3 - Treble in River City The thirteen members of Treble in River City are veterans of the Portland music scene with performing experience in a wide variety of rock, jazz, marching, and concert bands.  They’re a rockin’ horn band that brings back the music you’ve heard and enjoyed through the years—music that evokes happy memories, music you want to hum or sing along with, music that makes you want to get up and dance, with a focus on the 60’s and 70’s.  In short: A little funk, A little soul, awith a heavy does of rock 'n roll!
