On Saturday, March 21, 2026, Blairally hosts an Umphrey’s McGee After Party Show unlike anything Eugene has ever seen. Immediately following Umphrey’s McGee, three iconic musicians and guests come together for a rare and powerful collaboration under the name Willie Waldman Project—a true one-night-only experience.
At the center is Willie Waldman, renowned trumpeter, producer, and bandleader whose genre-bending career spans jazz, funk, hip-hop, rock, and improvisational music. Waldman has collaborated with an extraordinary range of artists including Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Cypress Hill, George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic, The Roots, and many more, earning a reputation as a fearless musical connector and innovator.
On bass is Norwood Fisher, the unmistakable groove architect of Fishbone. Fisher’s pioneering fusion of funk, punk, ska, metal, and soul helped shape alternative music as we know it. Beyond Fishbone, he has collaborated with artists such as George Clinton, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tricky, and Sly & Robbie, bringing deep funk roots and fearless creativity to every stage he steps on.
Rounding out the lineup is Tony Austin, an explosive drummer known for his work across hip-hop, funk, rock, and experimental music. Austin has performed and recorded with Prince, Kamasi Washington, Flying Lotus, Thundercat, Kendrick Lamar, and Ab-Soul, earning acclaim for his dynamic style and improvisational command.
Together, these musicians form a powerhouse ensemble blending deep grooves, high-level improvisation, virtuosic musicianship, and spontaneous collaboration. This Official Umphrey’s McGee After Party is not a typical late-night show—it’s a rare convergence of artists who rarely share the same stage, performing together in an intimate setting for one unforgettable night in Eugene, Oregon.

Scott Pemberton
9pm $12 Adv. / $15 Door 21+
Scott Pemberton is a Portland-based guitarist and bandleader known for his unique "Timber Rock" style, blending funk, jazz, blues, and grunge.
He is an emerging force on the national festival and club circuit, with his wild approach to the guitar and nimble funky band, he is immediately recognizable and undeniably original.
Scott Pemberton’s sound is much like the vibe of his native Portland: freaky, fun and just the right amount of weird. The best way to categorize his music is with the moniker “Timber Rock”. Scott naturally applies his own lens/stamp to the sounds of the Pacific North West, the region he has always called home. The deep jazz, NW rock/grunge, blues roots and the west coast funk. It’s all there, and often all in the same song. Listeners are finding this honest, original and to-the-point music refreshing and fun. The mastery of his guitar playing combined with the fun recklessness of his songwriting show that the rules of songwriting and playing the guitar no longer exist for him. He doesn’t use a strap, often plays the guitar like someone would play piano and performs with the uninhibited joy and intensity of someone who recognizes that every time we make music is an honor and a gift.
“The Bruce Lee of Rock and Roll” –Tahoe Onstage
“A modern day Jimi Hendrix” –Chico Enterprise
“It’s not every day we get to see a real, live guitar god in action.” -Fly Magazine (Pennsylvania)
“A wildly creative virtuoso.” -Jambase.com
“Stand out artist at this year’s High Sierra Music Festival” –Relix Magazine.
“At a festival FULL of guitarists (Safeway Water Front Blues Festival), none played like Pemberton or was as fun to watch” -The Oregonian
Scott’s Path:
Many master guitarists find their homes within a specific genre, perfecting the ins and outs of their chosen musical realm until their names become synonymous with the very art form.
Portland’s Scott Pemberton is not your average guitarist. He’s a musical nomad. His home isn’t in one comfortable bubble, but rather spread across genres. One moment, he’s shredding through the blues. Then next, he’s living in a classic rock world, or drifting melodically through an ethereal psychedelic plane. Maybe he’s leading a dirty funk jam, or experimenting with something heavier, or sitting back on a jazz odyssey. Regardless of genre, though, Pemberton’s musical journey is marked by two unmistakeable realities: You always know when you’re hearing a Scott Pemberton song. And you’re always going to be captivated.
A Portland native, Pemberton and his guitar have been inseparable since the musician was in his teens, and he quickly established himself as an integral to the city’s musical fabric, sitting in on studio sessions, becoming a fixture at jazz and rock clubs, and taking guitar teaching positions at Lewis & Clark College and Reed College at age 21. So much a part of Portland’s fabric is Pemberton that the city’s famous Voodoo Donutes gifted him a custom guitar-shaped donut for his birthday.
Beyond stages both local and international, his music has found its way into various movies, television programs and advertisements (Nike, Coke, Jaguar, and NASCAR ads have been propelled by his distinctive melodies), and his funky guitar work has led to collaborations with legendary drummers such as Motown’s Mel Brown and Bernard Purdie, AKA “the world’s most recorded drummer.” He’s played prime spots at major festivals across the U.S. and Canada, hit #4 on Billboard’s Tastemakers’ charts and ranked among the top performers on Jambase, peaking at #2 during the High Sierra Music Festival, where he stormed the stage.
Even more remarkable than Pemberton’s quick ascent to a superhero on the axe, though, is his second act. Most musicians are lucky to find their talent in the first place. For Pemberton, his love affair with his guitar received a rebirth following a bike accident that nearly ended his life and caused a traumatic brain injury, a life-changing event that would have grounded most artists. For Pemberton, it only fueled his musical drive. During rehabilitation, the guitarist rediscovered his gift, and emerged with a strong new vision as an artist.
Exploding back into the public consciousness stronger, sharper and more dedicated than ever, Pemberton released his eclectic debut, Sugar Mama, produced by Los Lobos sax player Steve Berlin and featuring a bevy of guest performers including legendary bluesman Curtis Saldago. Amazingly, Sugar Mama manages the difficult task of capturing Pemberton’s wildly ambitious live persona, jackknifing across genres with ease, using the frontman’s intricate musicianship as a glue that holds it all together.
A master showman who draws amazed stares when audiences realize he’s shredding without a guitar strap, Pemberton’s unique musical gifts and infectiously positive attitude come exploding to life, making the axe man and his band’s legendary shows on stages small and large come vibrantly to life. The music is hypnotic in its infectiousness — consistently challenging listeners while grounding it all in a familiar foundation of rock. Music is Pemberton’s domain. The stage is his home. And his door is always open.
Scott’s path is simple and clear. Make the best music he can…. Share it with others…. That is all.

Cytrus | Marcelo Guitron Band
8:30pm $10 Adv. / $12 Door 21+
In the world of music, the term “fusion” tends to raise eyebrows. Yet, the sonic explorers of Seattle octuplet Cytrus have spent the last three years crafting a debut that draws deftly from a broad melodic palette, melding distinct stylistic threads into a cohesive creative voice. Relax, and the grooves will flow through your soul. Concentrate, and you’ll find yourself tumbling through an immaculately constructed alternate reality when melody and rhythm dance hand in hand through spacetime.
Shaped by Jared Squires (guitar/vocals), Luke Nevills (bass/keys), Brandon Hailey (saxophone), Owen Mayo (keys/guitar), Trevor Church (drums), Alex Dean (synth/keys), Sean Connelly (vocals/keys), and Connor Merritt (aux percussion), Cytrus mines psychedelic funk, disco, electronic, rock, soul, hip-hop. Flowing through kaleidoscopic transitions, the band’s juicy synths and brass-powered grooves coalesce into an undeniable, hypnotic wall of sound.
Cytrus began when two Everett, WA bands found themselves mixing in the same shared rehearsal space. Finding they shared an ethos and approach to songcraft, Bunk Foss & HopSol merged, and Cytrus was born. The songs on Concentrate arose organically; some grew from sketches crafted by subgroups with the band where were then expanded upon in a full band setting. Others began as purely improvised sessions with the full octet which were later arranged. Yet all ultimately come from the conflux of individuality and collaboration.
Independently recorded at their rehearsal space, and mixed and mastered in-house, Concentrate is in every sense D.I.Y. In addition to the core group, the record features appearances byJason Cressey (trombone), Shyam Sunder Joseph Raja (tablas), and Connor Merritt (didgeridoo). After recording Concentrate, Merritt has joined the band full time as auxiliary percussion player.
Thematically, the record charts the philosophical, emotional journey from darkness to light. Starting from blissful ignorance, we then grapple with a sense of irrelevance when faced with the enormity of reality. Undeterred, we vow to pursue the search for truth and purpose. Finally, at the nexus of spirituality and psychedelics, we find awakening. “Concentrate is a metaphor of the pursuit of happiness/fulfillment, which we all seek in our personal stories of life” explains Squires. “The “Juice” can be found at the end of that path, but many obstacles can and will stand in the way.”
Ultimately, Concentrate is both the culmination of a creative and spiritual journey and the first step on the long road to musical enlightenment. For a young (figuratively and literally) band to create a piece of art of the depth and breadth of Concentrate betrays both boundless dedication and ambition. Yet, the band comes to their work from a place of humility. “We hope this album inspires likeminded creatives to chase their aspirations in the arts” says Squires. “Be it a desire to draw from past bodies of work we admire, or a yearning contribute to the canon, it is all attainable through persistence and creativity.”
Fiona Grey | Foreal | Baby Smooth
9pm $10 Adv. / $12 Door 21+
Fiona Grey is the People's Popstar—a glam maximalist writing about grief, rage, love, and identity with campy flair. Her debut album Adult Tantrums, written after deep personal loss and trauma, transforms pain into dancefloor catharsis.
———-
Equal parts spectacle and spirit, she’s spent years commanding underground pop scenes with her razor-sharp lyrics and glam. Inspired by boundary-pushing pop artists like Lady Gaga, MARINA, Lana Del Rey, and Chappell Roan, Grey is a maximalist who writes about the chaos of being human – grief, rage, love, and identity – with a campy edge.
Fueled by real-life loss, Fiona Grey’s debut full-length, Adult Tantrums, finds the L.A. artist committed to turning tragedy into dancefloor catharsis. Written in the wake of losing both her sibling and best friend, surviving sexual assault, and navigating a world that punishes the vulnerable, Adult Tantrums names and shames its own misery through the lens of unapologetic self-expression.
Throughout the record, Fiona writes music for the absolutely fabulous and the absolutely broken. Whether she’s confronting burnout and body dysmorphia on her anti-capitalist pop anthem “Rat on a Wheel,” celebrating queer freedom on the disco-infused “Call Me Daisy,” or mourning a loss of innocence on “Baby in a Cradle,” she truly gives her listeners a safe space and permission to feel it all.
Born in Chicago and raised in Los Angeles, Grey grew up with the overlapping influence of old Hollywood, musical theater, and club culture. The result? A shapeshifting creative force was born: part pop diva, part dinner-party mastermind, part punk in heels. All of her visuals are handcrafted; she directs her own videos, styles her own looks, creative-directs the photo shoots, and even runs her own marketing agency to help build worlds for other independent artists. One time she bought out the oldest costume shop in Las Vegas just to build her dream performance wardrobe.
And of course she couldn’t record her debut just anywhere, so she went to Rome to work with Alex Elena and Steve Baughman, and fully immerse herself in the process of making her first record. Without the distraction of everyday life and all of its multi-tasking, Grey was able to shift her focus on the story she was telling through her songs. As a result, the scenery, the community, and overall atmosphere of Italy deeply influenced the universe of Adult Tantrums.
And then there are the unforgettable, immersive live performances that earned Fiona Grey the title of Best Pop Artist by LA Weekly. Whether she’s headlining a sold out hometown moment or sharing stages with artists like Charli XCX, KITTEN, and Foals, a Fiona Grey gig is truly a world of its own.
With the release of her debut album, Fiona Grey’s reclaiming her mark on the world of pop music. Adult Tantrums is a huge chapter in her own healing, but it’s also a glitter-soaked permission slip for anyone listening to dance, sing, and thrive through whatever life throws your way.

Except that you plus this music equals a good time.

The Unbranded
A band. A movement. A philosophy. Join us...
The Unbranded started as a solo project by singer and guitarist Kyle Pivarnik. He wasn’t sure exactly what type of musical genre his work was falling into, other than “some kind of rock.” Combined with his lack of tattoos and his career in marketing, the name The Unbranded emerged.
After re-locating to Oregon, Kyle teamed up with Michael Rose (bass), Mason Walsh (guitar) and Daniel Brawley (Drums) and the band was formed.
“When I was younger, punk rock opened up a world view that was foreign to me. Bound by rigid religious views that were imposed on me, I didn't know it was OK to feel the way I did. To question what we were told. And that I wasn't alone. We want to create music that does that for people.”
From there, it has grown into creating safe spaces for the voiceless, connecting people in a disconnected/disenfranchised world, and questioning our cultural assumptions.
Drawing musical inspiration from 90’s skate punk, grunge, and alternative bands, The Unbranded embrace a less than perfect aesthetic. “Everything is so polished these days. I think people are looking for something a bit more real and authentic. We want our music to capture that raw tinge while still existing in the modern production spectrum.”
All are welcome.

Baby Grendel, Baby Smooth, Star Eyes
Baby Grendel is a five-piece indie punk art-rock band based in Portland, Oregon. Consisting of Jonathan Suarez (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Colleen Johnson (keys, backing vocals), Tomás Sakatani (lead guitar), Andrew Cardenas (bass), and Zach Cardenas (drums), what started in 2023 as the third phase of Jonathan Suarez’s solo recording project (following Small Town Sci-Fi) evolved into a collaborative full-band experiment that keeps its heart fixed on themes of death, grief, unabashed honesty, escapism, and self acceptance; and its mind focused on the questions: Are all worthy of love? Is everyone redeemable? Is the wisdom won from a life of constant pain worth the price of admission?
Following a West Coast tour promoting their 2025 EP Hatch(l)ing, the band released a new collection of songs titled Everybody Hates Me in the House in October, which is now available on streaming platforms and is included on the Hatch(l)ing (Deluxe) compact disc available for purchase at select Portland record stores and at live shows.
