LIVE at The Rosebud: February 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 2026
I’ve been feeling lately like the world is getting smaller. In the past year we’ve befriended countless incredible musicians, many of whom are close acquaintances with my idols. I met Wes Watkins in March when he played The Rosebud with Carrie Jennings. Sometimes cats feel like family as soon as you meet them. Wes is one of those cats.
I had the privilege of spending the last two days recording Wes Watkins’ upcoming album at The Rosebud Theatre with Max and Riley Williams: three amazing musicians from Denver, Colorado. The music was daunting: heavily arranged jazz-infused experimental R&B and neo-soul bangers. We tracked five tunes, with more sessions on the books (and boy do they sound good!)
I digress… Wes likes to say that music is a bridge – a web of diverse yet like-minded people that stretches across the planet. Through my time at The Rosebud, I’m starting to feel like I’m on that bridge, and my distant heroes no longer seem so far away.
Here’s what we have for you this week…
Wednesday, February 18th:
The monthly blues jam comes back around! Join T-Bone Stone and The Fabulous Del Montes as they guide you through your favorite ballads, shuffles, and boogies. Kick back, dance, or grab a mic and sit in!
Thursday, February 19th:
Join us for an intimate evening of song with Eugene singer-songwriter Geoffrey Louis Koch and Roseburg’s own Liam Quinn. With deep roots in Nashville and St. Louis, Geoffrey Louis Koch’s music resonates with authenticity, depth, honesty, and melody.
Friday, February 20th:
Harmonica heavyweight Hank Shreve returns for a raucous evening of upbeat original blues with lead guitar legend Ken Luker, bass master Bill Shreve, and percussive wizard Tim Donahue. Bring your dancing shoes!
Saturday, February 21st:
From the stage of The Enchanted Forest, Possibly Irish returns to The Rosebud for a night of jigs, rounds, and Celtic celebration. Gather round as this quintet of talented multi-instrumentalists explores foot-stomping Irish pub tunes, modern Irish songs, and Celtic-inspired originals.

Empowered and unstoppable, LA’s Babes Against The Machine delivers the recognizable tunes, driving rhythms, and hard rock-metal-funk style of Rage Against The Machine with a mesmerizing stage show of femme rockstar power. Kyra Van Winkle’s punk rock trio Bad Luck Blackouts opens the show.
