Music of Oregon: Rock
Updated: Dec 24, 2020

Before the pandemic hit, Curbside Press would make a playlist of the bands playing in Oregon over the month. Now that most live shows aren't happening, we decided to make a series of playlists for different genres of music made in Oregon. These are all Oregon bands.
First genre up: rock.
Note: We here at Curbside recognize that each genre is sprawling and broad. These playlists will try to showcase a variety of styles along that wide spectrum, with the purpose of encompassing the Oregon music scene. Did we miss something? Let us know at our website here.
