As Central Oregon’s self-appointed “Rock And Roll Border Patrol,” The Substitutes have been defending our (and your) right to rock since 1996. For over two decades we have dedicated ourselves to honoring the tradition and integrity of what it means to be a rock band; Rock and roll is what we do. It is all we do. This means you are always guaranteed to receive an undiluted dose of 100% organic, USDA Prime, gluten-free, range-fed rock and roll; with no unpleasant side effects or aftertaste. Not too heavy and not too light, The Substitutes are as all-American as baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, Chevrolet and shelling out four bucks for vanilla chai latte.

Consisting of Eric Westeren (ex-Kentones) on guitars and vocals, Shawn Huff (Vulcans Never Bluff) on drums and vocals, Nick Dahl (Merlin, Hangar 52) on bass and vocals, and Don Hoxie (ex-Keeper and Fox) on guitar and vocals.  In addition to being a great choice for your live entertainment needs, nine out of ten dentists recommend The Substitutes to their patients who chew gum. We’re not exactly sure why.

There are no substitutes for The Substitutes, so accept no substitutes (except, of course, The Substitutes).
