Marcus Swift and Rian Beach are co-founders of The Dalles Overground.
The Dalles Overground (TDO) is a local, all-volunteer 501(c)3 nonprofit
that brings unique music, arts, and culture to The Dalles. Past TDO
events include live performances by internationally known recording
artists, an all-school assembly at Chenowith Elementary and community
music event by an award-winning Cree Style Round Dance and Pow-Wow
drummer, a live film and music performance about Icelandic ravens at the
Discovery Center, and the Spooktober halloween movie festival at the Granada Theatre.
TDO Board members also participate in local volunteer activities like The Dalles
Community Clean up and creating a pop-up food pantry for community members in need. 

Rian (who is also the co-founder of Jackalope Jamboree in Pendleton, Oregon)
and Marcus will join us to discuss the latest TDO endeavor, presented alongside the
Performing Arts Initiative: The Dalles Hoot - a music, art, and culture festival from
March 6-8, 2026. The Hoot will feature three days of live music from over 15 national,
regional, and local artists at four unique venues in downtown The Dalles - all within walking
distance.The shows will be free to allow all families and individuals to join in the fun.

In addition to the music, a variety of community and small business events will take place
throughout The Dalles all weekend and promoted to attendees of The Hoot, including a
community fun run, Coffee with the Songwriter, Yoga + Beer, historic tours, Ecstatic Dancing,
Children's Theater at the Civic, and other local small business events and specials.
