ENTERTAINMENT ROUNDUP: Alt-Country Music and Arts Faire coming to Deep Woods

Another toasty summer week of live entertainment is on tap for music lovers in the Oakridge area.

Venues include the community’s most familiar ones: Deep Woods Distillery, Lion Mountain Bakery and 3 Legged Crane Pub and Brewhouse. A fourth venue venue is being added to the mix — Odell Lake Lodge and Resort, which isn’t exactly in Oakridge, but it’s become part of the Oakridge entertainment scene.

Bands and entertainers booked in the area this week include Song Dawgz, Stoner and Broken Horn, all of Oakridge, plus Ripple Vision, a band with strong Oakridge ties.

The following is a guide to this entertainment, broken down by venue:
