This Saturday Oct 3 here in PDX ORE! Whipsaw gets to co-headline with a band full of absolute legends! The Woodbrains each have a pedigree too long to list, so I won’t try. But trust me, this show will be as close to a North Mississippi juke freak out as you can get in the NW. We play first, but we get to play long.
The Showdown on Powell. Show at 8, might go late you know. (Please follow our Insta linked below)

(Shhhhh… Henry here. Thought the easiest and best way to officially introduce my new band is our bio, a link, and a song. Love and miss all of you)

Definition 1.
A Whipsaw is a two-man long-bladed hand saw used to cut thick logs into planks.

Definition 2.
Whipsaw is a two man Guitar/Banjo - Drum duo from the weeping woods of Portland Oregon. This is a new band but these boys are not new to this. Henry Hill spent 25y years as the songwriter, guitarist and vocalist of heralded Portland band Hillstomp. Drummer Noah Phillips is a founding member of (equally heralded) Portland folk punk band The Taxpayers.
These two fellas came together in early 2026 and the walls immediately began to sweat. The Sun turned a deep pink and the Sturgeon deep in the Willamette looked at each other as if to say, “Finally”
This is Blues, this is Folk punk, this is dance music, this is Appalachian devil tunes. It’s all of those and none of them. This is Whipsaw.
