Our good friend and terrific singer, songwriter and performer, John Batdorf, will be coming back to our neighborhood on SUNDAY, OCTOBER 8.

University School’s all-weather outdoor pavilion, located at the athletic fields behind the school on 2785 SOM Center Road, between Shaker Blvd. and Fairmount Blvd., is our new, larger location. Our event begins at 5:00pm and we’ll have singer / songwriter Guy Snowdon, performing as our cool opener. John will share songs from his amazing Batdorf and Rodney catalog as well as his many solo CDs. Visit https://johnbatdorfmusic.com and see what he’s been creating!

John just recently shared the stage with Jim Messina at the Tower Theatre in Bend. Well now’s your chance to experience a full evening with John in an intimate outdoor setting and hear why 50+ years of his songs have meant so much to so many. If you’ve never been to a house concert, you gotta check it out. It’s by far the most up close and personal way to hear your favorite singer-songwriters sing and chat with the audience. The host supplies the space for the artist to perform, bathroom and cookies. You can bring your own chairs, snacks and drinks and enjoy the coolest concert you may ever see. Donations go directly to the artist. See you there!! RSVP @ dbjones@bendcable.com
