Bend Studio

"We consider Ally, and her place Bend Studio, to be part of our musical family. The idea that she talked to me about in a Whole Foods parking lot has blossomed into something really beyond what any of us would have imagined, and much of that is due to the passion and unending energy that she puts into it. You can feel her spirit during the shows as much as that of the artists performing there. I think fans really should appreciate that she is running one of the few contemporary venues that isn't underwritten by beer sales, and that songs and the people that write them are cast pretty naked into this VERY intimate setting.
I write songs and play music to be understood and heard, not to be the backdrop for a desperate mating call, and this is one of a very few venues in the country where artists like myself have the opportunity to really showcase their songs and music." Ian Moore

"The first time I played Bend, everyone, including me, ended up having a wonderful time... So much so, that I've gone back over a dozen times now, and have made it a regular gig." Bob Schneider

"I like sound of that room, the vibes of that room..and it's a result of who runs it and the people who welcome you when you walk through that door."

the candle burns at both ends
it will not last the night
but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends
it gives a lovely light
