The Neon Prairie Dogs
In a thriving Portland country scene, The Neon Prairie Dogs stand out for their idiosyncrasy, virtuosity, and ability to rock a room down to its foundations. Singer-songwriter and guitar whiz Samuel Cody Matson inhabits country music’s long tradition of rhinestone cowboys— flashy costumes, white-hot solos, and a beefy baritone, but with a darkly comic songwriting style that betrays a deep vulnerability and uncertainty behind the glitz and glamor. They have been described as being “like Waylon on acid.” The band is rounded out by Zach Retzl on bass and Jonathan Ventrella on drums.
H-Dawg & The Smawg
Seven member Bongo-Based Garage Yacht act with a danceable edge. They will be releasing their first single off their new album “A Rock n’ Roll Fever Dream” due in May. Featuring Harrison Wallace on lead vocals and guitar, Ibolya Mandoki on backing vocals and sax, Caelum Cooney on lead guitar, Billy Manggala on bass and backing vocals, Issak Boorstein on keys and backing vocals, with Adam Sandgren on drums, and Logan Strong on drums/percussion.
