Public (Rock) Choir
No experience needed – Vocal studio Sing Bend is calling on Central Oregonians — shy and bold — to celebrate and share in the joy of singing with a newly forming Public Rock Choir. The group, a creation of Sing Bend instructor Deena Kamm, is designed to provide a fun, non-threatening environment for people of all ages and skill levels to participate. The Public Rock Choir gathering will take place on June 20 from 6 to 8 pm at 2nd Street Theater in Bend.

Kamm has more than 25 years of experience as a professional singer in Los Angeles, California, where she sang for NBC, CBS, MTV, Clear Channel, Premier Radio Networks, radio stations and studios across the country. She now lives with her husband and son in Bend where she enjoys the outdoors, teaches voice lessons and performs as part of a musical duo called Lark. As a vocal coach, Kamm knows too well what holds people back from singing.

While the group is called a choir, there won’t be any hymns involved. The Public Rock Choir will be singing songs from popular artists like Cold Play, Adele and Michael Jackson.

Kamm’s vision is to grow the group to 100 people over time, expand to a larger space and meet weekly. As the project grows, she also hopes to create additional groups focused on different genres (for kids, seniors and others). The Community Rock Choir session is $16 at the door, or $14 in advance at www.singbend.com and your first time at the choir is always free. Monthly memberships will also be offered at a discounted rate when the group expands.
