Hello and Happy 2020 to everyone out there! Jumping back in the saddle after a few months away from the stage, and starting things off with a handful of shows at McMenamin's venues around the northwest. The latest news is that we have added singer Angela Baldino to our trio lineup (BC3). We have been rehearsing with her the past month to get her up to speed and she is amazing. I am excited for you to see her sing with us!
New 2019 Shows!
Happy 2019 everyone! Just added a bunch of new shows to the 2019 schedule. Still going strong with the trio gigs, but also added several full band shows. check out the “shows” tab for dates. Bass guitarist Sean Hudson will be joining BCB for shows this spring. This guys is an awesome player and human, and I am excited about having him on board!

Such an amazing night at Jimmy Mak's Friday night - it was exciting to play for a packed house and what a great vibe!!!

And greats sets by Michele Van Kleef, Christina Cooper and their bands. If you have not heard our new single "Born," you can check it out here.
BCB Recording Update
Guitar!
Hey all! Over the past month, I have been working on a group of new songs with engineer/producer Rob Stroup and it is sounding soooo good! Great performances from Anders Bergstrom on drums, Arcellus Sykes on bass, Wayne Thompson on keys and Bob Dunham on guitar. We are going to release this batch of songs one at a time as digital singles. The first of these is a tune called "Born" and we will release this at our next Portland show at Jimmy Mak's on Friday June 6. The song will be available on itunes, but it you come to the show, you will get a free copy! So set aside June 6 on your calendars - it is going to be a big one!
BCB Update
Hey everyone! Sorry I have been so out of touch lately. I have been taking a much-needed break from live shows for the past 6 months to spend more time with my awesome one-year old baby boy and write some new music. I have been working with Rob Stroup Productions on some new tunes that I am excited to share with you all soon! I am also excited to get back on the stage again. We have some great shows coming up this spring, starting with Thurs May 8 at McMenamin’s St Francis School in Bend and Friday June 6 at Jimmy Mak’s with Michele Van Kleef. Stay tuned and see you soon!
