In the KQEN Cultural Spotlight:

Music Off Central begins its 2026 season on Thursday night in Sutherlin.

Presented at Central Park on Willamette Street, this summer’s series features seven concerts with mostly tribute and cover bands. Concerts begin at 7:00 p.m. About a dozen food trucks will serve a variety of dinner items with several other vendors offering adult beverages and snacks.

The opening group is One Way Out PDX – an Allman Brothers Tribute band. Organizers say the group has earned a reputation for capturing the spirit, soul and sheer virtuosity that defined the Allman Brothers studio recordings and live performances.
