Behind the Scenes: Oregon Bounty Music
Calling all foodies!
If you love locally grown cuisine, along with local microbrews and wine, you’ll love Oregon Bounty. I recently had the chance to travel behind the scenes to check out the recording session for this year’s promotion.
Chris Elliott, an Oregon native and musician, was chosen to sing (as well as play) this year’s Oregon Bounty music. Chris grew up in Portland, Oregon listening to a variety of music from the Cantina Band to Stan Getz to Black Sabbath and much more. He started playing the bass guitar in grade school and writing songs in college. in 2001, he began playing regularly at a Brooklyn, New York bar called Kili. He says, “Music has always been a big part of my life but it has also always been something on the side. I have recently started to change that.”
