Family Vibe is a 5 piece band that has been playing in and around Okanogan County for the last decade. They play a backwoods, homegrown style of reggae consisting of all original songs with uplifting lyrics focused on love and unity.

Our band, Living Room is comprised of four terrific humans:

Caitlin’s Cordell. Drummer/Singer extraordinaire and tattoo artist to the highly evolved. 

Benjamin Washam. Pianist, vocalist, guitar wielder and parent of two funny and interesting boys who he’s pretty sure are his…

Curtis Edwards. Bassist, vocalist and former astronaut. 

Andy McConkey. Guitar butcher/vocal cosplay. Part time cankle model. 

Living Room grew into a gigging band out of the enjoyment of playing music with friends in a laid back, depressurized environment. We’ve tried to bring that vibe to our shows. 

We seek out songs that fit the vibe we’ve fallen into. Songs that often aren’t super recognizable. Ya ain’t gonna be hearing Free Falling or More Than a Feeling at one of our gigs. 

So here’s to summer music, kindness, righteous vibes and fighting the patriarchy. 

Singer, songwriter, and bandleader of the local alt-rock, indie-ska band The Full Uplift, Stephen Kish is an engaging big, barrel-chested troubadour, singing original songs about the human condition: Sometimes fun and frolicky, but also cognizant of the struggles we all face in this wonderful journey, hurtling through the vast darkness and vacuum of space. He's also unearthed many classics, some eclectic B-sides, and seldom heard Pub songs on the fringe. His "Riff-acana" guitar style is based on folk/rock/fingerpicking/and Blues & Rock influences from the Golden Era of guitar heroes: altered tunings and higher soni-consciousness. "Fun guitar playing, Fast Riffs and Heavy Energy sing alongs!
