We are an Icelandic gypsy noise-rock band from Bellingham, Washington. We also play a bit of Mongolian fusion sludge-trap, and some funk.
https://www.spencermarlynband.com/
The Spencer Marlyn Band is what happens when a looping wizard and a one-man drum circle collide. Formed in Bend, Oregon by two Midwest transplants, this high-energy duo delivers the kind of sound you’d expect from a full band—genre-hopping their way through funk, reggae, bluegrass, jam, folk, and psychedelia.
Frontman Spencer Marlyn combines captivating songwriting with a looping setup and effects pedal mastery, while percussionist Scottie brings a globally influenced punch, shaped by his background in West African rhythms and a wildly diverse drum kit. The result? A danceable, feel-good explosion of sound packed with originals and crowd-favorite covers.

An intimate, all ages matinee show with Frank and Joe as “The Sixties”
The Sixties conjure the spirit and the flavors of the 60’s harmonizing the melodies and laying down the grooves of that golden era of pop music as it moved through the British invasion, the folk boom, Motown and headed for psychedelia.
The Beatles and the Stones, The Beau Brummels and the Kinks, and duos like The Everly Brothers, Chad and Jeremy, Peter and Gordon and many others are the territory of The Sixties, and so many other one or two hit wonders like The Cyrkle, The Seekers and The Searchers. Great songs with great harmonies, the hits and the B sides.

Thanks for stopping in. First, two small bits of news. Please check out a profile piece on myself relative to the recent release called Acoustic Blues Songs at https://www.thecountryblues.com/artist-reviews/frank-goodman/
Secondly, a UK review of the most recent record, Ranchero Radio can be seen at HTTPS://AMERICANA-UK.COM/Frank-Goodman-Ranchero-Radio
Rose and I have been together for over 15 years, but we’ve known each other for more than 50. Often she has accompanied me on bass guitar. My past includes The Goodman Brothers, my nom de plume Buzz Holland, Mesa/Boogie, Nashville, Shanghai, Miami Beach, Heidelberg. and other places. My brother Billy and I (who lives and plays in Berlin) made music and records together for many years as The Goodman Brothers, which frequently included the talents of celebrated guitarist Steve Kimock.
My latest record is Ranchero Radio, produced by Dan Eccles. You can stream or purchase it here in various forms. Also of recent note is the CD Broken River, wherein our friend Donna Jean Godchaux MacKay invited us to Muscle Shoals to cut some sides with her favorite players.

https://radioreceiver.bandcamp.com/
Radio Receiver is a band that was born when Nate Wallace of Hearts of Oak had a bunch of songs that didn’t seem quite right for a Hearts of Oak record. Geography also played a part in the formation of this band. Mark Folkrod (drums) moved across the street from Anna Verlet (violin, vocals) in north Portland where Wallace lives. Enter Jason Willmon on bass, and thus Radio Receiver was formed.

https://www.thejustclark.band/
Clark Engine Company is the full band manifestation of frequent-favorite, Just Clark, a singer-songwriter reviving the roots of American-made music. Digging into a woody sound that echoes through the hollers, Clark’s music embodies a timeless resonance that harks back to the cherished sounds of classic Americana folk. From poet to picker, the native Texan conjures a sound as bright as the Lonestar herself.
Being more than the stand alone folk type, Clark Engine Company is an electrifying extension that goes beyond a guitar and a pretty voice. With weeping pedal steel and crashing drums it’s full steam ahead for the full band.
Always on the move, Clark is a true troubadour who’s lust for the open road is never ending.
