In 2023 and 2024, Timberline Daydream raised nearly $350,000 for
OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital.
A Daydream is a series of pleasant thoughts, distracting one’s attention from the present. From time to time, we all need a break, a rest, or a Daydream. Doernbecher and Timberline have teamed up to bring you an inspiring, supportive, hope filled distraction, a day-of-days on Mt. Hood.

Launched two decades ago in Portland, OR, Blitzen Trapper garnered early attention with a series of self-released albums before breaking out internationally with a pair of critically acclaimed LPs (2007’s Wild Mountain Nation and 2008’s Furr) that would cement their status at the forefront of the modern indie folk revival. Rolling Stone hailed the band’s “hazy, psychedelic Americana,” while NPR praised their “explosive live performances and infectious roots-rock swagger,” and The New York Times compared their songs to Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, and Neil Young. Dates with Fleet Foxes, Wilco, and Dawes followed, as did festival appearances at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Newport Folk, and Coachella, among others.
Blitzen Trapper's new album - 100's of 1000's, Millions of Billions - was released in 2024. The songs here are as sincere as they are surreal, rooted in rich character studies and deep reflection, and unfolding like a riddle-filled journey that asks many questions and offers no answers. The production is intoxicating to match, blending lo-fi intimacy and trippy psychedelia into a mesmerizing swirl of analog and electronic sounds. Add it all together and the result is a gorgeous, sprawling collection wrapped in lush layers of synthesizers and washed out electric guitars–a poignant, expansive exploration of perception and purpose that manages to look both forwards and backwards all at once.
The Talbott Brothers, hailing from the heartland of Imperial, Nebraska, embody the heart and soul of Americana with their blue-collar grit and unapologetic authenticity. Grounded in the character of their rural upbringing, brothers Nick and Ty Talbott have built a name for themselves with their soul-stirring lyrics, sibling blood harmonies, and rich melodies that represent the ebbs and flows of life.
Their 2017 track “We Got Love” from their debut album Gray propelled them to national recognition, filling venues across the country. Building on that success, Ghost Talker (2019) and Letters (2022) captured the attention of major outlets — Rolling Stone praised their sound as “cinematic folk-rock for open highways,” Billboard highlighted their “haunting brotherly harmonies,” and The Boot touted them as a must-listen “for fans of John Mayer, Mumford & Sons, and Jason Isbell.”
Patina is a six-piece band from Portland, Oregon writing and performing original Americana / Folk-Rock / Roots-Rock music. Their 4th studio album, ‘Good Noise,’ was released April 5th, 2024. Walking the Americana line between folk, rock and country, Patina’s studio work and live performances highlight their commitment to well-crafted songwriting, arranged to showcase warm, melodic harmonies and resonant guitar and keys solos.
PATINA was founded in Portland, Oregon by singer-songwriter Sam Hopkins and guitarist Bret Agins in 2006. Over the years, PATINA has continued to forge their sound, with Hopkins’ songwriting brought to life through the collective musicianship of the band. "Portland band Patina delivers Americana gold ... Hailing from the vibrant music scene of Portland Oregon, the 6 piece band emerges as a soulful beacon, keeping the the Americana and Folk genres burning brightly."

Fingers & Chilly are a folk rock acoustic guitar duo based out of the Cascade Range of Mt Hood, Oregon. Tom Franklin (Fingers) and Denis Denault (Chilly) perform original music inspired by their world travels together. Formed 30 years ago, Fingers & Chilly are best when blending layers of folk, rock and jam into their songs. Known to combine those legacy Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia Band favorites to their playlist, they stand out as artists who can really highlight American roots music. Joining them for “Daydream” is Eric Kallio, guitarist and modern folk solo artist. Kallio’s strong background in guitar lead improvisation and acoustic texture are influenced by the Allman Bros, Phish and the Flecktones. His vocal harmonies and slide playing guitar match Fingers & Chilly’s performance style making this a perfect collaboration.
