FAMILY MYSTIC

Family Mystic is a four piece vocal ensemble surfing the ebb and flows of present day Portland, OR, redefining what making music from the deep realms of the heart can be. Vulnerable, poignant, dynamic, direct, and multidimensional. Merging elements of classic funk/soul, 60’s/70’s psychedelia, a splash of progressive jazz fusion, and tight vocal arrangements to answer the age old question “what genre is this music?” - FEEL GOOD MUSIC! Bringing people of all ages together. There may truly be a tasty treat for everyone within the mystical sounds of this family of brothers.

In the two years since the bands formation, Family Mystic has toured the west coast on multiple occasions. Making a name for themselves playing shows in parks and public spaces to bring the music to the people in times of need. They recorded/produced their debut EP in their home studio, just released their first live album, and are currently working on a full length record which they are also producing in house- to be released spring/summer of 2022.



REB & THE GOOD NEWS

“Reb & the Good News” is a band out of Portland, OR, celebrating the 2021 release of their debut album “Wings.” Led by vocalist and guitarist Rebecca Conner, this project is a culmination of Rebecca’s passion for a multitude of genres and influences. World-beats and funky grooves intermix with soulful horns and folk delicacy to create songs filled with hope. Rebecca’s heart-centered, velvet vocals are delivered with a vulnerability that unravels listeners down to their core. With music as her catalyst for transmuting pain into healing, Rebecca holds space for the embers of gratitude and optimism to be ignited into a flame you can warm your soul to.

Reb & the Good News released their debut album “Wings” May 11th 2021. The album was created and arranged by Rebecca along with her partner Leon Cotter who plays keys, saxophone and clarinet in her band. These songs are a culmination of a life searching for Rebecca’s own voice in music. At 19, Rebecca Conner’s love affair with music began by playing songs around a beach fire in her coastal hometown of Lincoln City. During a subsequent trip to Europe with a guitar, jazz was the music that most spoke to her, and she returned to the States to pursue an education. Rebecca went to music school at the age of 21 not yet knowing a major scale. With a lot of catching up to do, her education lasted all of 7 years, starting at LCC and finishing at the University of Oregon where she focused on Jazz guitar. Rebecca left her last collaborative project, High Step society in 2018, and moved from Eugene to Portland ready to tell her own story and bring her own aesthetic to life.
