About the Bands

The Regulars

The Regulars are a locally based band playing various types of music, including: rock, country, oldies, goodies, and fun! Band members Tobi D’amore, Ryan Birdseye, Connor Anderson, Chuck Heritage, and Philadelphia Rick have been entertaining folks all around Lane County and we are excited to have them on the Oktoberfest Stage.

Remember, the Regulars always show up!

The Huckleberrys

The Huckleberrys play Americana music, a mix of songs we love from all the artists we grew up with – from Patsy Cline to Elvis to Johnny Cash, and even some Beatles thrown in .. Original songs from The Huckleberrys included!! Add in some bad jokes, the bubble machine, and you have The Huckleberrys of Cottage Grove ….

Alder Street All-Stars

With each performance Alder Street manifests a new battle between the forces of traditional twang and rock ‘n roll. Rooted in acoustic instrumentation, they lash out with soul-laden vocals, lightning-infused solos, and a driving rhythmic core. They also go on eclectic jaunts into tango, folk, and funk.
 
Having played around the Pacific Northwest for over 15 years, their rough-hewn roots have given way to tight song arrangements which give way to occasional instances of band-wide jams.
 
This band is presented by Zolezzi Insurance

Loose Ends

Loose Ends is a Lane County based variety band covering your favourite rock and country tunes from the 60s to current and occasionally throwing in some great songs you may not have heard in a while! This band is comprised of a group of players with a broad expanse of experience in many genres that focuses on musicianship and tight harmonies. So whether you need a band for a private party, corporate event or local bar gig, we’ve got you covered! We are constantly adding new material and we are here to show you a good time so come out and don’t tie down those Loose Ends!
 

The Eugene Highlanders

They bring history alive. Hear the Great Highland Bagpipes and Scottish drums… come along with the Eugene Highlanders! Founded in 1952, they are the oldest Pipe Band in the Pacific Northwest and are amazing to see and hear up close and in person. They’ll be here to open the festivities and kick things off as only they can!
