NPP II + līder|lāder — Bend, OR 2026

As part of the Oregon tour in support of Negative Press Project’s new release CYCLES I (out January 30, 2026), Andrew Lion līder|lāder (A Negative Press Project)— Bend, OR, June 17, 2026

Just coming off of an Oregon tour in support of Negative Press Project’s new release CYCLES I (out January 30, 2026), we are proud to present a special single-night engagement in Bend, OR marking the live debut of bassist/composer Andrew Lion’s new project līder|lāder.

This performance brings together a rare constellation of collaborators from across the country: Ruthie Dineen (piano), Andrew Lion (bass), Luis Salcedo (guitar), Lyle Link (saxophones), Joel Behrman (trumpet), Eric Vanderbilt-Mathews (alto sax/synth), and Adam Carlson (drums), joined by very special guests — Dave Tweedie (drums), Galen Clark (keys/synth), and Seth Burrows (guitar).

The result is a unique ensemble drawn from Bend, San Francisco, San Jose, Brooklyn, Portland, and Los Angeles— a one-time configuration that promises driving jazz-adjacent compositions combined with genre bending electronic and rock textures, with forward-looking improvisational exploration.

Limited LP and CD editions of līder|lāder will be available exclusively at this performance, ahead of the project’s general release later in 2026.
