Hailing from the muddy banks of the Washougal River, comes a small group of rockers hell bent on making music and getting rich doing it. Highly inspired by such greats as Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, Shaun Morgan, Dave Draiman, and so on, we have started creating music in which we hope you'll enjoy and we are eager to play more shows and recording a full length LP.
. 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 + yrs that netted him a couple of degrees in Music, had him doing studio/session and gig work in Los Angelas for almost 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 's around the Eugene/Albany/Willamette Valley areas, prior to her moving to Washington state. After an almost yr 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 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 ( + 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 we do for the 'employment' aspect, and this is something that is very evident from the moment we hit the stage.
Looking for a band that actually entertains the guests at your club or event?
Want professional sounding vocals and a band that knows how to control the knobs on their volume, and still keep things high energy?
We're the ticket!
And remember...
'We can turn ANY song into a funk/metal song!'

i'd say that we're folk at heart, grunge in attitude, punk in principle, and blues in spirit. but I like to think that we're just true to heart rockers, just trying to play our instruments well enough to stick it to the man as best we can.
face in the crowd (F. I. T. C.) - myrtle creek, Oregon
We are a small town band with aspiration of world domination. We are not a garage band! We’ve been past that point for a long time. Our sound has been compared by others as a Tom Petty meets the Foo Fighters and blueses it up for the homies. We love classic rock and rock music in general. Our influences consist of The Beatles, Tom Petty, Metallica, The Animals, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Turn of the century blues, The Rolling Stones, Elton John, T-Rex and many others. Our shows are fast moving, witty, entertaining, hard rocking, extravaganzas of rock n roll nirvana with a warm fuzzy after taste that is impossible to forget. Don’t be fooled by imitations, there’s only one true F.I.T.C. and we would love to be a part of your next event. We are a Sold Out to God Christian band and are not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ (this is not a disclaimer) Just be warned, We will promote our God without shame. We will preach His salvation message as loud as possible. Lives will be changed before you’re your very eyes and the love of the creator will be emphasized as the main reason for our visit. Book us and see, we are not the same old purposeless ear candy that you’ve heard before. “Rock with a reason.” That’s what we do!
Love You All!!!
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!
