The Coos Watershed Association is thrilled to welcome The Throttles to the Mayfly Festival this year— a super fun local group of educators/musicians who you may know from the Clambake Music Festival and other local events! What started in 2020 as a way to blow off some COVID steam became a fun-loving band of friends who enjoy sharing their wide-ranging tastes of music with each other and the community. From country to blues, Indigo Girls to Bob Dylan, nothing is out of bounds for this group. They will take the stage during the second half of the Mayfly Festival (1-3pm) at Mingus Park on Saturday, May 17. If it's nice out, bring a picnic blanket and join us for lunch! And if it's raining, don't let that stop you--some of the best Mayfly Festivals have been in the rain.

Band members Amber Yester, Bill Berrian, Blake Kemp, Tim Dailey, Phil LaGesse, and Ken Graber embody the statement that music is far too important to be left in the hands of professionals and say, “We prove that every time we step on stage. We are honored and excited to be a part of this year’s Mayfly Festival and look forward to the positive energy of this event!”
