The second full length album, “howl” was released in 2021. Both of those albums had Patrick Pearsall on bass and Dylan Bernal on drums. To be released in March of 2023 is the bands 3rd studio album “Cake”.

From Portland Radio Project: “Sublime, sweet perfection. One of the most gorgeous and musically sound collections of songs in some time. There’s a Bowie-esque vibe to the vocals and the playing by this talented bunch blew me over. in a good way. So good to be in the presence of such sonic beauty”

Alicia Viani Band
Sunday, 2:30-3:30pm
Alicia Viani Band
“I have a memory of people having guitars and singing no matter where we were,” Bend, OR based songwriter Alicia Viani says of her childhood, much of which was spent overseas, “and how easy it is to share music with people, which speaks to the entire point of why we play songs—to connect and not feel alone.” Each of her songs is commanded by a voice that feels entirely human, turning moments of deep complexity and heartbreak into warm jazzy, country folk that finds easy paths into the heart, much like the musical moments she cherishes from her childhood. Viani tackles complex current events such as the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting and racism, but all in the gentle form of a personal story to invitingly navigate typically-avoided topics. The songs are wholly absorbing as they carry the listener from one private world to the next, each imploring to be discovered. Viani’s desire for utmost connection is embodied by the sensitive ballads that make up her thoughtfully penned self-titled debut album, slated for release in the Spring of 2020. Alicia Viani was tracked live in Nashville, Tennessee, produced by Amy Speace and engineered and mixed by Thomm Jutz.
Alicia Viani Band is made up of local all-stars Pete Kartsounes (vocals, guitar), Scott Oliphant (drums), and Mark Karwan (vocals, bass). They deliver a rich, jazzy, funky, eclectic-folk listening experience.
