Band: The Color Study

What to love about playing in Bend: I love how supportive the local music community is toward each other. It was awesome to regularly see 150 people + at local shows, whether at Spoken Moto, The Brown Owl or The Volcanic.

Favorite Central Oregon venue: My favorite venue has to be Volcanic Theatre Pub, mostly because it is a "real" venue like you'd find in a bigger town, and for a rock band like ours it has a lot of things that just make the experience more enjoyable. We've had amazing shows at Spoken Moto, Brown Owl and Father Luke's Room, amongst others.
