About this Event
is a solo artist (Finishing School 2003, Kindercore; Love Is Alright 2019, Both Sides Now!) as well as a founding member of both The Ladybug Transistor (Merge Records), The Essex Green (Merge Records / Elephant 6), and The Sixth Great Lake (Kindercore). Bell has written, performed and released six full-length albums on Merge Records in addition to numerous EPs, singles, compilations and singles. She has toured extensively in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Scandinavia; performed at international music festivals including SXSW, CMJ, The Bowlie Weekender (UK), Roskilde (DN) Hultsfred, Emmaboda (SW), Athens Pop Fest (GA), Noise Pop (SF) and more. With The Ladybug Transistor, Bell has also collaborated with Soft Machine co-founder Kevin Ayers; performed live on national Swedish & Spanish TV and Norwegian Radio; contributed to the Velvet Underground tribute CD, Rabid Chords; and toured and performed with bands such as Of Montreal, Superchunk, Yo La Tengo, Neutral Milk Hotel, Luna, The Apples in Stereo, Olivia Tremor Control, Beachwood Sparks, Stars and many others.
Bell is a multi-instrumentalist and frontwoman who adds a unique melodic touch to all her projects. Her most recent release is Love Is Alright (2019, Both Sides Now!) recorded in San Francisco by Jason Quever of The Papercuts. Love Is Alright harkens back to 1970s fare, vocally recalling Judee Sill or Melanie Safka, while the arrangements that occasionally reflect the work of Melissa Manchester, Carly Simon, and even the occasional nod to ABBA.
- Emerging from the wreckage of his childhood band The Ph*rm*cy, SCOTT YODER arrived clad in a black cloak, stomping to the beat of his own sparkling tambourine. Over the course of four LPs & nearly a dozen singles he has toured the world, espousing a more personal distillation of his song craft. Nearly always on the road, he has honed his live act with a crunching, yet sensitive backing band of similarly-inclined misfits. This glitter-folk balladeer, adorned in mascara & bell bottoms invites you to sway to his entrancing charm.
- Portland rock n' roll band feat Sallie Ford, Kathy Foster, Kris Doty & Mitch Gonzales.
