Tide up this Friday?

You won’t need to stay away from the water when Red Tide, the iconic ’90s heavy alternative rock band from Tillamook, reunites for a one-night-only concert at the Bay City Arts Center this Friday, Nov. 24.

Formed in 1995, the three-piece group, made up of guitarist and singer Drew DeRieux, drummer and singer Mike Reeves and bassist Brandon Affolter, played shows as a sought-after coastal party band.

The decision to regroup for a performance came in 2020 when DeRieux returned to Tillamook and the trio celebrated 20 years since the release of their album, “Beautiful Disaster.”

For this special reunion concert, Red Tide will be playing a range of their classics and requested favorites, including a cover of "Sober" by Tool.

The much-anticipated reunion concert is also a benefit for the Bay City Arts Center, a multi-faceted community hub that encompasses a workshop, gallery, performance space, dining hall and radio station, all housed within a historic building.

The concert begins at 7 pm at the Bay City Arts Center, located at 5680 A Street. Entry is by suggested donation of $20 for general admission or $10 for students. For more information and tickets, go to baycityartscenter.org.
