At its core, To Bloom is vocalist Bruno Lopez-Vargas and guitarist Kevin Payne. They had been collaborating musically and creatively since their high school days back in 2010. After the ebb and flow of numerous projects spanning more than a decade, the duo finally feels that they’ve found their voices with this endeavor. The name To Bloom pays homage to the musicians’ growth over the last 12 years – a project that finally captures their true vision and stylistic direction. Bassist Sean Dawson and drummer Logan Gardner, two local musicians with extensive experience both live and in the studio, are the newest members of the project. They provide a strong foundation for the band's dynamic sound, thus allowing the project to reach its greatest potential.

To Bloom will be performing at the Infinity Room in Salem, OR on November 13, 2022, and at Hawthorne Hideaway in Portland, OR on November 12, 2022. Get your tickets to both shows at the door. Make sure to stay up to date with everything that To Bloom has coming up by following them on Instagram .
