Stay Tuned, the self-proclaimed Ultimate Television Rock Tribute Experience, was formed over years ago by lead singer and keyboardist Matt Krahlman. His vision of rearranging the influential television themes of his youth into a completely different context became a reality when drummer / vocalist Fred Donaldson and bassist / vocalist Randy Williams joined Matt for their first rehearsal in a small practice studio just south of Safeco Field. Since then, the band has been musically inseparable and has delighted audiences and fellow musicians alike with a musical experience that can only be described as "... like sausage...". Fred has since left the band to pursue his lifelong dream of guano farming and Stu has joined the band as Stay Tuned's formidable drummer.
Their onstage energy coupled with the emotional connection that audiences have with their eclectic collection of musical material have earned Stay Tuned a growing reputation as one of the NorthWest's premier acts. In addition to performing to enthusiastic crowds up and down the coast, they have been featured on The BJ Shea Experience on . The Buzz in Seattle, and were nominated for a Seattle Weekly Music Award for Best Tribute Act. Ian "Prime Time" Sterling of KBSG in Seattle has said about Stay Tuned, "... if these guys were playing and I were sitting there drinking at the bar, I'd think they were the greatest band on earth.".
PAY IS NEGOTIABLE - we want to play more than we want to get payed, so pay no mind to the range listed below.
Pop with a "grunge" twist. Some basic, heartfelt songwriting, coupled with an expansive lust.
GOOD SONGS - I cannot stress this enough. We write good SONGS. That is definately our strong suit - we are not going to "jam" for hours - we play "songs".
A three-piece as of now - we play pop with a twist - sometimes jazzy or sometimes hardcore.
. Fearless and trembling, Sheltered Kids reaches the human audience with emotional vulnerability that resonates in his lyrics and his honest wavering vocals.
The Rotations are the brainchild of bandmembers Liz Nash and George Johnson, with much appreciated guidance and support from world class Bassist and Flutist, Brian Lowe.
Brian, having settled in the Portland area after a very colorful, educational and adventurous 20+ yrs that netted him a couple of degrees in Music, had him doing studio/session and gig work in Los Angelas for almost 20 yrs, performing in Japan, Oregon State, California and on a few Cruise Lines.
Liz had performed as lead singer/frontperson for a couple of very successful hard rock/metal bands in the early 80's around the Eugene/Albany/Willamette Valley areas, prior to her moving to Washington state. After an almost 20 yr hiatus,and working from New Jersey to New Orleans, she returned to Portland to find that the 'Blues' had invaded just about everywhere!
Now, being the classic rocker she's always been, she spent the last 3 yrs collecting a handful of the best, most talented, like-minded, pro musicians she could find and asked them..."Hey! You guys want to play some REAL music? Want to show this town what a live band is REALLY all about?"
And lo and behold, a few of them agreed!
After some intense collaboration with George Johnson and Brian Lowe, The Rotations have started to shape into something dynamic and truly special.
With the additions of such wonderful talent as Alex Jurgens (of Ordinary Joe), Kenny Hines (of the Otis Hines Project), Scotty Dixon (formly with Neal McCoy) and Ryan Butson ( 25+ yr W. Coast Pro Drummer )We've been welcomed all over the greater Portland area as
'A Breath of Fresh Fun!'
'Wow! Songs that have never been played in our bar before!'
'Our customers couldn't stay off the dance floor!'
'You're what this town has been needing for years!'
We're do this as much for the sheer fun we have playing together,as we do for the 'employment' aspect, and this is something that is very evident from the moment we hit the stage.

Every wedding and party needs some form of entertainment, so why not a DJ? I am a mobile disk jockey who provides sound, music and lighting for any event. I'll make your wedding or party a memorable one, while having fun at what I enjoy doing - music!
I have over 9,000 songs to spin, and that library is growing daily. Along with playing music, I can make general announcements, entertain, provide sound and lighting for other people, and work with other vendors at an event to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Clients are offered a free consultation meeting (in person if close to Eugene, OR; over phone or through e-mail if not) to discuss my services, music that should be played and any other details that will need to be gone over before the event. After that we can stay in contact through e-mail and phone to make any changes or add last minute requests to your playlist.
If you don't live in Eugene and are still interested in my services, don't worry - I'll travel! My free consulatation meeting can take place over the phone or through e-mails, and I'll work just as hard to make sure that your event rocks!
