Hayden Homes Amphitheater
Are you ready to Bend and groove, Oregon?! HA - bet you’ve never heard that one before… but it’s true, because this next group we have for you coming up at the Hayden Amphitheater is out of this world, and thank god they have a date in our city this summer! FIlled with a mix of latin ballads, jazz bops, and songs that will make you feel like you’re looking at the Eiffel Tower from a rainy window - get ready to dance, get ready to cry, get ready to scream every lyric (maybe even all at once) - because Pink Martini is coming to town!
Pink Martini?! No way! Yes way! Pink Martini, the Oregon born easy listening heroes who just can’t be boxed into a genre, are coming to town this summer - and we want you right here with us! On Sunday, June 29th, catch the crew right here at Hayden Homes Amphitheater as they take on the world with their 30th Anniversary Tour!
Tickets are on sale right now and starting at $86 for the night. And with TWO opening acts for every show on the road, trust us, you won’t want to be strolling into Hayden late. Grab a pass or two today, and let’s boogie!
Hayden Homes Amphitheater, located right in the heart of Bend Oregon, is so excited to welcome our Oregon cousins to the stage, Pink Martini, as they take on the globe for their 30th Anniversary Tour - hitting stops from Canada to Los Angeles, Paris to Poland, Spokane to Portland, New York City, and of course - right here in Bend at Hayden Homes for all of our listening and viewing pleasure. A 30 year anniversary doesn’t come around often! So, basically what we’re saying is you won’t want to miss this.
Pink Martini is the smooth jazz, experimental pop band that you’ve absolutely heard but didn’t realize who they were - but maybe made you stop and do a little jive wherever you were, or pull out shazam to see what track was playing. Founded in 1994 by pianist and group leader Thomas Lauderdale, Pink Martini got their start over here on the West Coast as a way to, originally, pump up the music at political rallies Lauderdale was working around Portland. But Thomas being a pianist, he needed some vocal help - he got in touch with China Forbes, and by 1997 they had released their debut single Sympathique, which went on to be nominated for Song Of The Year in France - not bad for a lead single to your career.
The band continued to find success. They found major airplay by singing in multiple languages (Forbes is said to speak and sing in fifteen different languages) and being able to change their musical style however they pleased. “So inevitably, our repertoire is wildly diverse. At one moment, you feel like you're in the middle of a samba parade in Rio de Janeiro, and in the next moment, you're in a French music hall of the 1930s or in a Palazzo in Napoli. It's a bit like an urban musical travelogue. We're very much an American band, but we spend a lot of time abroad and therefore have the incredible diplomatic opportunity to represent a broader, more inclusive America…composed of people of every country, every language, every religion,” Lauderdale once said on CBS News. And their diversity of sound has served them well - to date, Pink Martini has performed in over 35 countries, had over 1000 concerts, and they continue to put out quality music and performances even thirty years on.
Have we convinced you yet? Already got three tickets?! Good. Great. Amazing - we’ll see you in the crowd, right on the 29th of June!
