Scott Pemberton Band
Many master guitarists find their homes within a specific genre, perfecting the ins and
outs of their chosen musical realm until their names become synonymous with the very art form. Portland's Scott Pemberton is not your average guitarist. He's a musical nomad. His home isn't in one comfortable bubble, but rather spread across genres. One moment, he's shredding through the blues. Then next, he's living in a classic rock world, or drifting melodically through an ethereal psychedelic plane. Maybe he's leading a dirty funk jam, or experimenting with something heavier, or sitting back on a jazz odyssey. Regardless of genre, though, Pemberton's musical journey is marked by two unmistakeable realities: You always know when you're hearing a Scott Pemberton song. And you're always going to be captivated. Beyond stages both local and international, his music has found its way into various movies, television programs and advertisements (Nike, Coke, Jaguar, and NASCAR ads have been propelled by his distinctive melodies), and his funky guitar work has led to collaborations with legendary drummers such as Motown's Mel Brown and Bernard Purdie, AKA "the world's most recorded drummer." He's played prime spots at major festivals across the U.S. and Canada, hit #4 on Billboard's Tastemakers' charts and ranked among the top performers on Jambase, peaking at #2 during the High Sierra Music Festival, where he stormed the stage. Even more remarkable than Pemberton's quick ascent to a superhero on the axe, though, is his second act. Most musicians are lucky to find their talent in the first place. For Pemberton, his love affair with his guitar received a rebirth following a bike accident that nearly ended his life and caused a traumatic brain injury, a life-changing event that would have grounded most artists. For Pemberton, it only fueled his musical drive. During rehabilitation, the guitarist rediscovered his gift, and emerged with a strong new vision as an artist. Exploding back into the public consciousness stronger, sharper and more dedicated than ever, Pemberton released his eclectic debut, Sugar Mama, produced by Los Lobos sax player Steve Berlin and featuring a bevy of guest performers including legendary bluesman Curtis Saldago. Amazingly, Sugar Mama manages the difficult task of capturing Pemberton's wildly ambitious live persona, jackknifing across genres with ease, using the frontman's intricate musicianship as a glue that holds it all together. A master showman who draws amazed stares when audiences realize he's shredding without a guitar strap, Pemberton's unique musical gifts and infectiously positive attitude come exploding to life, making the axe man and his band's legendary shows on stages small and large come vibrantly to life. The music is hypnotic in its infectiousness -- consistently challenging listeners while grounding it all in a familiar foundation of rock. Music is Pemberton's domain. The stage is his home. And his door is always open.
Funk Trek
Making their debut in 2008, Funk Trek has since developed their homemade music to create their own sound. This six piece band, has molded their own unique conglomeration of Funk, combining the flavors of old school and new school funk, R&B, Soul, Hip Hop, and a dash of jazz. Their live shows are bursting with energy that rarely settles down. With three studio albums, Voyager (2010) Purify (2013) and Quencher (2015) Funk Trek takes their brand of funk across the U.S. from Texas, to California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Colorado, Kansas, and Illinois to name some. Playing 95% all original music, funk trek continually adds to their list of new songs so every year there is something new to hear. Their ultimate goal behind every show is to be lost in the moment on stage and provide high energy entertainment that allows their audience to immerse themselves and forget their worries.
