July 27-29, in the shady pines, aspens and open meadows of Southern Deschutes County, the Newberry Event Music & Arts Festival to Defeat MS brings jaw dropping live music from National touring bands, with socially conscious, positive messages, to an intimate setting. Three days of festival fun. Twenty bands on two stages with music 10am to 10pm, then acoustic jams into the full moonlit night. Most attendees tent camp on site to not miss a thing. DiamondStone Guest Lodge hosts the event on rural acreage adjacent to Quail Run Golf Course.
The legendary East Coast Indie funk jam band, Lettuce will highlight Saturday night. For more than two decades, Lettuce has brought a new vitality to classic funk. This is their exclusive Oregon performance on this west coast tour. L.A.-based duo HONEYHONEY could be called alternative bluegrass folk. Other artists featured will be the Shook Twins – critically acclaimed Idaho-born and Portland-based identical twins Katelyn and Laurie Shook, with dreamy harmonies. From San Francisco, Con Brio is seven musicians with a shared love for the vibrant funk and psychedelic-soul sound pioneered by groups like Sly & the Family Stone. They’ve become a West Coast institution with magnetic live shows, swiveling hips, splits and backflips. Also from the Bay area, The Stone Foxes whose rock is raw with blues as a filter. Just some of the other bands this year are Pimps of Joytime, Five Alarm Funk, John Craigie, Talbott Brothers and Pat Simmons Jr. (son of Doobie Brothers Pat Sr.)
