For many of us, Sunriver is synonymous with summer fun, and as we move toward summer this year, you may be asking, “What activities do you have scheduled?” A great question, but an even better question would be, “What don’t we have scheduled?” because this summer the Sunriver Owners Association (SOA) have something for everyone.
The SOA kicks-off this summer with the opening night of our free concert series, Turf Tunes, Sunriver Style. “Now in its fourth year, we are excited to open things up with Calico The Band on Sunday, July 5 at 5pm,” announced Chris Harrison, event manager, Sunriver Owners Association.
In the midst of a national tour, Calico The Band visits the John Gray amphitheater at SHARC for their only Central Oregon appearance. Continuing Sundays at 5pm through August 16, look for the full Turf Tunes line up in the Sunriver Scene, throughout Bend and Sunriver and online at www.sunriverstyle.com.
On Monday, July 27, SOA presents gospel icons The Blind Boys of Alabama, together with the Crescent City’s pre-eminent brass band pioneers, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, for a joyous night of southern spiritual music and New Orleans rhythms at SHARC. Featuring individual band performances, as well as on-stage collaborations, the Down by the Riverside tour finds these two legendary artists sharing the stage for the first time.

In September things continue to sizzle with a wine event, Uncorked, Sunriver Style. Slated for September 18-19, they’ve added even more this year to make an already great event amazing. “A certified sommelier, national speaker and TV personality, Laurie Forster joins us this year as one of America’s leading wine experts and author of the award-winning book, The Sipping Point: A Crash Course in Wine,” says Harrison.
“Pairing nicely with Laurie’s comedy, Something to Wine About, we are excited to present an evening with the University of Oregon’s premier A Cappella group, On The Rocks.”
