Cascade Equinox Festival 9.20 - 9.22.24

Deschutes County Fair Grounds Redmond, OR Words by Ryleigh Hutson Photos by Alexander Cai Zettas The second year of Cascade Equinox Festival was held at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds in Redmond, Oregon. This year had its own unique blend of musical magic, with the event coordinators curating an unforgettable experience. The different styles of artists and genres of music invited to perform this year captured a similar essence as the inaugural event; exploratory, inclusive, and diverse within the Central Oregon music scene. Cascade Equinox is a three-day camping music festival, attracting attendees to the experience of a  “A Festival Reimagined.” It seemed most attendees opted for the three-day camping pass to take full advantage of the festival fun. This year they offered single-day passes as well, which was a great way to open the event up for those who were unable to do the full three days. VIP tickets were also available with a private viewing area at the main stage. The entire e

McDonald Theatre Eugene, OR Words by Ryleigh Hutson Photos by Alexander Cai Zettas Tycho hit the stage at McDonald Theatre on Sunday, September 15th on the fourth stop of their Infinite Health tour with opening act, NASAYA. Tycho (Scott Hansen) performed with his band members, Zac Brown (guitar), Rory O’Connor (drums) and Billy Kim (bass guitar). Hansen played the keyboard, synthesizer and guitar varying between the songs as his artistic vision unfolded. Following the recent release of Tycho's sixth album, Infinite Health on August 30th, Eugene welcomed the musicians with dancing feet and open eyes. Their set was incredibly thought out and diverse, starting with “Phantom” from their recent album created with Chris Taylor (Co-Producer and mixer from Grizzly Bear) and Zac Brown. The set list then flowed into “Spectre” from the album Awake and “Hours” from Dive . They brought more songs from the Infinite Health album including “Consciousness Felt,” “Green,” "Devices" and

5 Artists Not To Miss at Cascade Equinox Festival 2024

Deschutes County Fairgrounds Redmond, OR Words by Ryleigh Hutson & Alexander Fornes We are counting down the days to the second Cascade Equinox Festival taking place September 20 - 22. As we close out the summer months and welcome in the fall, we head to the Deschutes County Fairgrounds in Redmond, OR to explore a diverse and eclectic blend of music including Jam, Funk, Bluegrass and EDM acts. With so many artists and genres to explore, it may be overwhelming to plan which bands are a must-see and which sets you’ll spontaneously stumble upon. So we came up with 5 artists not to miss at Cascade Equinox! STS9 | Sound Tribe Sector 9 are among legends within the livetronica festival jam scene. This instrumental 5 piece from Georgia has been crafting their eclectic sound and captivating performances since 1997. By now, they have built a devoted fan base that is keen to their musicianship and uniqueness of every set. Equally brilliant light shows accompany their sound which add to the r

Phish 8.29.24

Dick's Sporting Goods Park Commerce City, CO Words & photos by Nicholas Stock Phish played like it mattered this summer while simultaneously reinventing the pastiche of "FOMO" one show at a time. This summer has been nothing short of historic when it comes to the massive jams, musical output and the way in which Phish is approaching their sets. With the release of their new album Evolve , the boys from Vermont have fresh fuel in the tank. This tour we’ve witnessed the interweaving old and new in a jam jambalaya that has been above and beyond expectations. Their summer consisted of only multi-night runs primarily bouncing around the Midwest. They wrapped up Mondegreen, their first festival in nine years, in Delaware before closing out the summer with four nights at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park! Dick’s has become a tradition. With 42 shows at the now famed soccer arena, only three venues have been played at more: The Front, Nectar’s and MSG. It’s kind of crazy to think ab
