Live at Lakeview: Scott Pemberton Band, Connor Party

Live at Lakeview presents: Scott Pemberton Band with the Connor Party

He’s the Timber Rocker, a hippie superhero and the Bruce Lee of rock and roll. Portland, Oregon’s Scott Pemberton is the most popular artist in the history of Live at Lakeview. His backstory is incredible. Pemberton was a college music instructor, studio producer and member of several bands. He was nearly killed in a traffic accident. It took months for him to recover from his traumatic brain injury. When he did, Pemberton picked up a guitar and was shocked learn of his virtuosity. With his schedule cleared, he had an opportunity to restart his career. He decided to create his own band and tour the country. He’s been coming to Live at Lakeview ever since. The only side effect from accident is that he cannot wear a guitar strap. So he places his instrument on a bar stool and attacks it like, well, the Bruce Lee of rock and roll.

No, the Connor Party is not a Fine Young Cannibals tribute. Its members actually prefer Base Camp Pizza. One of Lake Tahoe most popular bands, The Connor Party is an American-rock and roll band fronted by brothers Adam and Jeff Connor, who are from Finger Lakes, New York. Adam Bergoch and Alex Bergoch are also in the group, along with the outlandish and ubiquitous bassist Todd Christensen.
