Reb & the Good News is a Portland based funk-pop, world, and soul group known for their positive message and genre-blending sound. Catchy horn lines and sultry vocals soar over grooves that you can’t help but move to. World rhythms, funky bass lines and soulful, jazzy vocals coalesce to form a sound that’s both upbeat and warm. The band is led by vocalist and guitarist Reb Conner, whose songs reach for hope in a world under pressure. Reb’s vision is to create dance music that both touches the heart and inspires a life lived in pursuit of the silver lining. She is supported by her creative partner, sax and keys player Leon Cotter, (a touring member of the California Honeydrops), as well as some of Portland’s heaviest hitters: Cyrus Nabipoor on trumpet, Milo Fultz on bass, Kirk Kalbfleisch on drums and Carmelo Torres on percussion.

Alder Street is boot-stompin’, gritty, and bourbon flavored. The band draws its inspiration from a variety of sources, evinced by original tunes that break the mold of traditional bluegrass, and reprises ranging from Iron Maiden to Bill Monroe.
The band first formed for a benefit show from a hodgepodge of musicians living in Eugene’s infamous Campbell Club Cooperative on Alder Street.Over the years Alder Street blossomed in Eugene's infamous local music scene.
