Friday’s Music Mainstage, presented by Mt. Bachelor, features the internationally acclaimed Tony Furtado Band. The Portland-based group features Furtado’s renowned banjo playing and progressive style of bluegrass. Furtado has been compared to Bela Fleck, David Grisman and T Bone Burnett, and his band brings huge energy and mind-blowing skills sure to get the crowd dancing. Also look for Stephanie Schneiderman to make an appearance with Tony at some point during the evening.  Local Bend favorites Brent Alan and his Funky Friends open Friday’s mainstage, blending funk, soul and rock to produce an un-classifiable but undeniably enjoyable experience for festival-goers.

Saturday Mainstage

Saturday’s Mainstage will get the night’s festivities rocking with Oregon’s own Stairway Denied. The Led Zeppelin cover band channels the 70’s rock-and-roll heroes, with spot-on performances and vocals that will have attendees believing that Robert Plant himself took the stage. Saturday’s Mainstage finale features perennial WinterFest favorites Hell’s Belles. This high-energy all-girls AC/DC cover band is so incredible that AC/DC co-founder Angus Young himself deemed them the best AC/DC cover band ever. With huge voices and legendary stage performances, Hell’s Belles promise to bring the house down during Bend WinterFest 2013
