About | Beadhead

ABOUT THE BAND

Beadhead came on the Portland music scene in 2003 combining Tropical Rock with a zydeco influences. This brand of music took off and the band evolved its sound as new members brought new talent and contributions to the band's sound. We introduced more 80s music from influences like Tom Petty, Michael Jackson, Hall & Oates to the repertoire. The band continues to evolve its sound and as we put 2020 in the rear view mirror we add the interesting sounds that have defined "Yacht Rock"--music from the ikes of Pablo Cruise, Toto, the Doobie Bros., Michael McDonald and Loggins & Messina. Keeping with our nautical roots, Beadhead now provides the full spectrum of party music.

Danceable Songs

Our songs are carefully selected to get your toes tapping and your butts out on the dance floor. People have fun at Beadhead shows.

PLAYING THE AREA'S FINEST VENUES

Beadhead has a regular circuit on Portland's West side and beyond. We are regulars at Bleachers, the Dublin Pub, Coyotes, Hart St. Pub, Tigardville Station, Pizzario and the Ghost Hole in Garibaldi.

SPECIAL EVENTS & CORPORATE GIGS

Beadhead is available for community events, corporate parties, weddings and other special occasions. We have been regulars at Hillsboro's Tuesday Marketplace, Hillsboro Saturday Market, Portland Tennis & Education fundraisers, Pettygrove Park summer concert series, St. Josef's Winery, Bauman Farms Cider Fest, Hillsboro Elks Club, Paradise Harley-Davidson and the Hillsboro Brew Fest.

THE "ECLECTRIC TRIO"

Some occasions require a smaller Beadhead contingent. That's where the "Eclectric Trio" comes in. This trimmed down unit will play smaller venues and typically deliver a more Jimmy Buffet and zydeco offering. It's a fun time as members of the crowd get to come up and play the rubber board.
