Dear Marney,

We've got a lot of fantastic bands heading to the Les

Schwab Amphitheater for Memorial Day Weekend. The St.

Charles Free Summer Sunday Concerts start on June 12.

Enjoy all the great music in Bend this weekend and coming

up soon at the Les Schwab Amphitheater.

Death Cab for Cutie, Bright Eyes, Jenny & Johnny

on Friday, May 27

Death Cab for Cutie's long train to popularity

has its roots in Western Washington

University, Bellingham in 1997. Melodic

guitar based rock poured out of the three

young men, Ben Gibbard, Chris Walla, and

Nick Harmer. The band's debut and follow up

albums received unanimous critical

acclaim. In May 2011 the band will release

their seventh full length album Codes and Keys.

Bright Eyes is an American indie rock band

founded by singer-songwriter and guitarist

Conor Oberst. The band's new album titled

The People's Key was released on February

2011 and is filled with the engaging and

mesmeric songwriting for which Oberst is

renowned.

Jenny & Johnny will open the show. In

2008, Rice and Lewis began writing songs

that are ultra-melodic and often blend

both of their voices into one. The album

I'm Having Fun Now was released in 2010.

(Jenny is also the lead singer for the band

Rilo Kiley.)

The Decemberists, Rodrigo y Gabriela and Dan

Mangan on Sunday, May 29

Hailing from Montana, Colin Meloy

arrived in Portland to a burgeoning

music scene. Meloy soon joined up

with Nate Query, Jenny Conlee, and

Chris Funk forming the core of The

Decemberists. Witty, intellectual

singer songwriter tales were melded

to influences as varying as The

Smiths, REM, XTC plus British and Irish folk music. In January 2011,

they topped the charts with their sixth full length release The King

is Dead. Rodrigo y Gabriela specializes in

playing fast, rhythmic acoustic

guitars. The self-titled album,

Rodrigo y Gabriela was released

internationally in 2006, includes

covers of Led Zepellin's Stairway to

Heaven and Metallica's Orion. The

duo lists several heavy metal bands

as key influences. Rodrigo y Gabriela wrote and recorded the score

for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

Dan Mangan will open the show

and is a Canadian indie folk-rock

singer-songwriter. Mangan music

ranges from indie-rock, pop, alt-

country and bluegrass with his

uniquely gravelled voice and easy

stage presence.

Tickets on sale now via Bendconcerts and at the Ticket Mill in the Old Mill District. Gates open at 5pm and Show at 6:00pm.

Enjoy the Memorial Day weekend in Bend!

Sincerely,

Marcelene and Marney
