Straight outta Portland with a guitar in hand and a six-pack of wisdom, Dad Bod delivers a sharp blend of indie rock, dad rock, and lyrical wit. With catchy riffs, a laid-back groove, and just enough grit, they walk the line between nostalgia and now. Imagine Wilco jamming with The Strokes at a backyard BBQ — heartfelt, slightly rugged, and always a good time.

 

 

Nice Boat PDX is Portland’s sonic wildcard — a genre-fluid, high-energy band that crashes through surf rock, punk, and indie like a boat with no brakes. Raw, rowdy, and ridiculously fun, they’re known for live shows that leave audiences sweaty, smiling, and slightly stunned. It’s chaos with a beat, melody with muscle.
