The Pend Oreille River Band -(pronounced pond-da-ray) takes their name from the Pend Oreille River, which flows west through the Idaho panhandle and then north up into Canada before it enters the mighty Columbia River. Like the river flowing gently through glacially carved valleys this veteran group of bluegrass musicians play in the traditional format of bluegrass, making songs they write seem timeless.
