Country
Well known Portland fiddle player, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Pati Rojas releases her debut self-titled solo EP with special guests Brookly Del and the Revelators and Bad Assets.
The five song EP, recorded by Cory Gray (The Delines) at Bocce Studio in Vancouver, WA is an examination of love and loss and an homage to Rojas' Texas upbringing. With contributions from a collection of Portland's finest country and Americana musicians - several of whom make up the six-piece Pati Rojas Band - the EP uncovers a song-writing talent on par with the excellent singing and playing she has honed over 20 years on the local music scene. The Pati Rojas Band delivers a high energy country music experience that blends classic country and country blues, southern rock with rich three part harmonies full of Texas soul.
The EP is a prelude to a larger, full-length release expected later in 2026.

Honky Tonk
William Surly is a singer/songwriter who saddles his horse (metaphorically speaking) in Portland, Oregon, and is no stranger to the western cocktail. Within his music he mixes classic country with outlaw, honky tonk, a dash of folk, some rock, soul and a whole lot of tequila.
Inspired by story tellers of the Outlaw and Folk movements of the 60s and 70s and rejuvenated by the modern sounds of Sturgil Simpson, Margo Price, Mike and The Moonpies, Nikki Lane and more Surly pays homage to the ones who came before him, singing songs for those best suited for a long running bar tab.
Best known for his roll in The Lonesome Billies, who have shared the stage with nationally touring acts such as Pokey Lafarge, Hooray For The Riff Raff, Blitzen Trapper and Nikki Lane, William Surly has been in and around the Portland music scene for many years.
