Newport, Oregon: Oregon Coast Council for the Arts (OCCA) is excited to present a live concert event featuring popular local band Tsunami Zone. The group will play at 7:30 pm on Saturday, August 10th at Newport Performing Arts Center.
Based in Newport, this dynamic group of musicians has quickly gained a following along the central Oregon Coast. Stemming from its members’ own musical interests, Tsunami Zone offers an eclectic mix of styles – from Rock, Blues, and Soul to Pop, Latin, Country, and R&B – with covers that include Stevie Wonder, James Taylor, Keb’ Mo’, Darius Rucker, John Mayer, Santana, and many more.
Die-hard fans and newcomers alike are invited to dive in and experience this good-time musical collective, known for getting audiences to smile, dance, sing along, and generally enjoy a wonderful evening of fun.
The band features Sport Thompson on guitar – a musician with over 50 years of experience who has shared the stage with acts like Guns N’ Roses, Faith No More, Winger, Skid Row, and more; Dan McCue, Siletz Tribe’s CFO with a rich musical history, on vocals; local artist and musician Tom Ettel on keyboards and vocals, bringing with him a background in jazz, country, barbershop, and Honky Tonk piano; AC Johnson – who is seasoned in rockabilly, blues and has played with bands including the Unlikely Saints, Smokewagon, and Revolving Door – on drums; and finally, Jan Kaplan – who originally hails from the Bronx and has played locally with The Bristones, Weird Science, Blue Variant, King Mixer, and more – on both bass and vocals.
The public is invited to enjoy this one-night-only, sure-to-be-toe-tapping Live @ the PAC concert event on Saturday, August 10th at 7:30 pm.
