South Bay House Concerts - SF2SJ music connect

Scott Pemberton’s sound is much like the vibe of his native Portland: freaky, fun and just the right amount of weird. The best way to categorize his music is with the moniker “Timber Rock”. Scott naturally applies his own lens/stamp to the sounds of the Pacific North West, the region he has always called home. The deep jazz, NW rock/grunge, blues roots and the west coast funk. It’s all there, and often all in the same song. Listeners are finding this honest, original and to-the-point music refreshing and fun.

The response to Scott’s music has made him an emerging force on the festival circuit, placed him at #1 in Portland’s pop charts, #4 on Billboards “Tastemakers” chart and has generated notice from the press:

“A modern day Jimi Hendrix”
–Chico Enterprise

“The Bruce Lee of Rock and Roll”
–Tahoe Onstage

“It’s not every day we get to see a real, live guitar god in action.”
-Fly Magazine

Fans of the FogHouse and Hardly Strictly will be please to know that long time alumni (2015!) Phoebe Hunt & Dominick Leslie will be returning to play both!!

We met these star struck musicians over 10 years ago and that star continues to shine bright. This time they will be visiting us as parents to little Vassar (destined to be a fiddler no doubt).

For fans of HSB you’ll have an opportunity to see them playing with the Sam Grismon Project. But for the ultimate experience join us before the festival for an intimate evening in the best setting of all, my living room!

Phoebe Hunt & Dominick Leslie are a rare conversation between voice, fiddle, and mandolin—equal parts songcraft, improvisation, and heart. Hunt is a Texas-raised, Nashville-based artist whose 2017 LP Shanti’s Shadow drew praise from Rolling Stone and the Austin Chronicle for its adventurous blend of roots and global colors; her 2023 album Nothing Else Matters distills that vision to voice and violin alone.

Leslie, a dazzling picker known best for his work with Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, is a two-time Best Bluegrass Album Grammy band member and one of his generation’s standout mandolin voices; he first turned heads winning the RockyGrass Mandolin Contest at 14, the event’s youngest champion.

As a duo, they’ve appeared at the Austin Music Awards in a “borderless love” segment and on major festival lineups including Telluride Bluegrass—bringing songs that breathe, burn, and bloom in real time. Expect sparkling interplay, vivid lyrics, and the kind of chemistry that only miles, craft, and devotion can forge.
