If you need another reason to come down to the Sagebrush Street Fare Wednesday, July 13th from 6 – 10 p.m., (if delicious food paired with Deschutes beer isn’t enough) then you’ve found it in Midnight Hour, the headlining indie rock band.

Hailing from Los Angeles, Midnight Hour is led by singer Brad Lodge. You can get a taste of their musical style in this Youtube video.

Midnight Hour will make a great addition to what is turning out to be a fun and delicious Sagebrush event—and don’t forget the money raised by the Sagebrush Street Fare goes to our 106 nonprofit beneficiaries!

Want to know more about Midnight Hour? Their bio gives an interesting picture of young artists expressing themselves through music:

Born in Las Vegas and raised in the California desert, Brad Lodge discovered his passion for music at the age of ten when he started singing along with his mother’s Elvis record collection . . . During [his teen] years, Brad found his love, music, and he found his voice, but he was still looking for a way to show it to the world. He packed everything he owned into his 1970 Volkswagen Bug and headed for Los Angeles to try his luck as a musician.

Fate wouldn’t let him down . . . Dan, James, Jared, and Tim were looking for a voice, a front man, the right person to express their musical energy. They had jammed a little bit here and there, and like Brad, were looking for a way to express themselves through music. Fate brought these men together on the streets of Los Angeles. They began rehearsing together and soon everyone who heard them knew something special was happening. Those marathon sessions in dark and seedy rehearsal studios would provide the foundation for what would become Midnight Hour.

From those early days to the present, the members of Midnight Hour have bonded together as brothers and used music to express their mutual frustration, rage, passion, and hope. Midnight Hour has recorded a still untitled album in their self-built studio, which is currently being mixed by Mark Needham (The Killers, Bloc Party, Hot Hot Heat, Pete Yorn, etc.). Local radio has already noticed the buzz and started spinning a few tracks from the forthcoming album. Local Los Angeles venues have opened their doors to the band’s amazing live show. Their local following is growing and Midnight Hour’s future contrasts any darkness their name might imply.
