Fogline is set to perform at General Duffy's Waterhole on Friday.

The Medford-based country rock band Fogline is set to perform at General Duffy’s Watering Hole in Redmond form 7 to 10 p.m. on Friday.

Fogline was formed in 2015 by Dustin Clark, the lead vocalist of the band. Since its introduction to the live music venues of Southern Oregon, the band has grown significantly in popularity and evolved to make much of their own music.

“We’ve naturally taken to songwriting like a bird dog takes to fetching the quarry,” said Dustin Clark. “Showcasing our technical chops and sharing our influences and experiences in the rural communities and backwoods of the Rogue Valley, our compositions are honest and from the heart.”

Over the last seven years, Fogline has made its way around Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, leaving their mark at small and large venues alike. According to the band’s website, Fogline won Battle of the Bands 2016 at JoCo Fair in Grants Pass and Southern Oregon’s Best of the Best Southern Oregon Band in 2017.

They claim it’s their drive and ability to connect with their fans that has helped them become a Rogue Valley favorite.

“It is our relationships with the fans and communities that drive us…they are in our songs, they inspire us,” Clark said.

Fogline has a long list of upcoming shows throughout Oregon and beyond, including in Terrebonne, Prineville and Redmond.

The band members, including lead vocalist Clark, lead guitarist Sam Kovic, bass guitarist Brian Moore and drummer Justen Neilsen, have been busy writing and producing songs that are inspired from their unique experiences living in rural Southern Oregon.

“Being a part of Fogline allows me to share my passions, write and sing about them on the platform our music creates,” Clark said.

Fogline released a 10-song album on July 1. The songs and the full album are available on Spotify and Apple Music.
