All experienced performers in various musical genres, members of Nomads organized originally to focus their shared passion for the music of the Middle East, Mediterranean and Balkans. They developed their cohesion playing for local belly dance groups and through regular rehearsals and jam sessions. “It’s a very simple idea, but also very rich,” says band leader Miguel de Alonso, known around Bend for his flamenco guitar performances. “We want to give you glimpses of other people, places and times through the music and the dance. We want to share with our neighbors the special aesthetics of music from this part of the world, music that can be energetic, but also so elegant, sweet and soft.” The band’s performances feature many authentic instruments like: the violin, oud, rababa, bouzouki, guitar, baglama, clarinet, darbuka and drums. |

This blues band started to come together after bassist and lead vocalist, Thomas T (Tsuneta) had left his traveling sales job and decided he wanted to form a real Blues band. “I had been in a cover band for 6 or 7 years with guitarist, Jeff Leslie and we both had added Blues songs we liked to the set list. When I asked if he could play Blues all night, he said “Sure”! They were quickly joined by Steve Beaudry , who Thomas calls “ a World Class Harmonica player” who had exactly the tone and feel that fits so well with the Chicago and Texas style Blues the band loves. Joining most recently is drummer Jeff Ingraham, who has toured with and recorded several albums for Country music legend, Merle Haggard. |
