The Dead Beetles have been performing regularly in the Portland, Oregon area at McMenamin’s venues since 2005, as the John Reynolds/George Turner duo. They debuted under the name The Dead Beetles in August 2006 at Edgefield Winery and their self-titled first CD was released the following November.
The current line up of the band offers a huge pallet of sounds, including four part vocal harmonies, electric and acoustic guitars, bass, cello, flutes and clarinets, drums and percussion.
The show is full of fun and unexpected turns as the band romps through its eclectic repertoire of great songs, spanning seven decades. Original songs and covers alike have that unique Dead Beetles flavor, and the crisp, fresh smell of mountain air in the springtime!
