Get ready to party
with Blue Tattoo

People are invited to make plans
to Party in the Pasture with Blue
Tattoo.
The Pacifi c Northwest rock ‘n’
roll band will perform Saturday,
July 31, from 3-10 p.m. at Camp
Freedom, just south of Power City
on South Highway 395 near Herm-
iston. Bonney’s Ag Sales and the
Umatilla Chamber of Commerce
teamed up to host a celebration of
summer and lifting of COVID-19
restrictions. The event is free to the
public.
Kelly Nobles, the band’s drum-
mer, said the group did a low-key
event this past January at the same
location. He estimated 400-500
people came through while the
band played for about four hours.
Some people didn’t even know it
was happening, Nobles said, until
they drove by and could see the
bonfi res and stopped in.
“This is going to be a bigger
event,” he said. “There’s a concrete
fl oor and a roof — it’s a Wood-
stock-type setting.”
Those attending are invited to
bring their recreational vehicles,
campers or tents for dry camping.
The Bridge Bistro & Brews is host-
ing a beer garden. In addition, there
will be food trucks on hand to help
people refuel.
For those not familiar with the
band, Blue Tattoo brings a high-en-
ergy rock sound that will have you
on your feet and screaming for
more. They play the great classics
from the roots of hard rock, glam
rock and hair metal from the late
1970s through the 1990s.
In addition to Nobles from the
band RAIL, who’s known for his
monster percussion skills, the group
features frontman Gene Miller on
lead vocals with an amazing range
and attitude.
Miller off ers up the soprano
highs of Triumph’s “Magic
Power” and the piercing vocals of
Whitesnake’s “Still of the Night.”
The band also plays all your favor-
ites — from Boston, Journey, and
Kansas to Quiet Riot, Mötley Crüe
and Guns N’ Roses.
The band also includes veteran
musicians Johnny Jagger (key-
boards), Lee Oswald (lead and
rhythm guitars), Paul Inserra (bass
guitar) and Bud Ashcraft (lead and
rhythm guitars).
Bring a lawn chair and sun-
screen and get ready to party. For
more information, contact Mark
Ribich, chamber director, at 541-
922-4825 or mribich@umatillaor-

Lilly is like a Golden Lab in a
tiny package. She is sweet, silly
and soulful. She did have some
separation anxiety issues with her
previous adopter, so she needs a
home where family is there for
her, maybe a playmate who isn't
demanding. She loves a good belly
rub and her soft blanket.
