Supporting Those Who Make the Soundtracks of Our Lives

Adam East and Kris Deelane have been performing together for more than half of their lives. They met and formed their duo in Southern California and toured extensively before landing in Oregon in the mid-1990s. Since then they have become a staple of the Portland and Oregon music scene, performing thousands of shows and organizing and starring in special events such as The Next Waltz and many more. 

Along the way, they have shared the stage with such illustrious performers as Brian Wilson, Joan Jett, The Tragically Hip, Violent Femmes, Peter Yarrow, David Grisman, Son Volt, Richard Thompson, and the list goes on.

Adam and Kris continue to write and record new songs, form new bands, make new friends and create community wherever they go.

Hosted in a backyard in NE Portland
