Welcome Bend Roots Performers

Thank you for participating in the 2026 Bend Roots Revival. Bend Roots is a gift from the community to the community. The gift of each of your performances is what makes the Revival unique and beloved. With so many different perspectives bouncing off each other, the beauty of Bend’s collective voice is amplified by way of our differences. 100+ performances this season is truly amazing! Roots brings the community together to participate in this ritual, to dance and sing, and to be inspired.

Band Appreciation

In an effort to appreciate you and to showcase your art, we provide:

  • A stage and sound engineer for 30, 45, or 60 minutes of local glory
  • Some tacos (or something else to eat)
  • A drink or two depending upon the host venue 

Try to be on-site 1 hr before your set.

Please check-in with the sound engineer at your stage to get your drink tickets.

At Silver Moon drinks may be redeemed at the bar. And at Bunk + Brew band beers are available in the artist appreciation tent. If you are playing at the M&J, Domino Room or The Commons, band beers are redeemable at the bars of those venues. Songwriters at the Greenhouse Cabaret check the green room there for artist drink comps.

There is one artist appreciation food area at Silver Moon in their green room. This area is for all roots artists (open till 10 PM)—so even if you play at M&J, Domino, Bunk+Brew or somewhere else, you can enjoy a delicious meal in this zone. You just might have to do it a bit earlier in the night if your set is after 10PM. Thank you Pizza Mondo and El Sancho for helping us feed the bands! 

Stage info & Load-In

Load-in for all Silver Moon stages is at the main entry to the North of the property.

Load-in for all Bunk+Brew stages is from the Southwest corner of the property and from the alley to the North.

For acts confirmed at the Domino Room, please load-in from the alley to the South of the venue off of Hill Street.

For M&J, The Commons, Lone Pine and Greenhouse Cabaret: well, best of luck to ya! Do what you can. In each case, please unload/load-in your gear quickly–remembering that there is another act before and after you. Please do not leave your rig unattended in a loading zone.

Looking forward to a wonderful event.

Thanks again to all of you for making it happen.

Sincerely,

–The Bend Roots Crew
