SUMMARY:Summer Concert: Jennifer Batten and Full Steam
DESCRIPTION:Jennifer Batten's phenomenal talent on the electric guitar has taken her all over the world and still does to this day. She is often mentioned in conversations about the best guitarists in the world. However\, she knows better than anyone that it's not about showing off — it's about serving the song\, no matter the genre\, from rock to pop to dance to R&B. \nAnd she did that during 10 years as lead guitarist for the "King of Pop\," Michael Jackson\, going on three world tours and memorably performing alongside him at Super Bowl XXVI. She has also collaborated with Cirque du Soleil and with fellow guitar legend Jeff Beck as well. \nIn 2026\, Jennifer will make her third appearance at the Wilsonville Rotary Summer Concerts\, along with her very talented band\, Full Steam. She tours the world nine months of the year\, but enjoys Oregon summers. So\, she stays home and plays shows around the region\, giving local audiences the chance to see a world-class talent without traveling far. \nFull Steam is powered by two outstanding lead vocalists in Pat Yadon and new addition to the band Hannah Dimo\, and dynamic players Jim Beaty (bass)\, Norm Whitehurst (drums) and Kevin Burkhart (keyboards). Bringing along fun steampunk attire and a killer songlist that includes Michael Jackson\, Prince\, Daryl Hall / John Oates\, Huey Lewis and the News\, Toto\, Van Halen and many others\, Jennifer Batten and Full Steam bring new energy and a delicious edge to beloved classics\, making you realize that yes\, it can be done better than they did it on the record. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nOpening Act: Ryan Oetken\n\nRyan Oetken is a native Oregonian from Wilsonville whose passion for music led him to Nashville in 2011 to attend Belmont University. While studying in Nashville\, he became deeply involved in the city’s music scene\, spending the next decade performing\, touring\, and developing his craft as both a musician and songwriter. \nDuring his time in Nashville\, Ryan toured with a variety of artists and collaborated with award-winning songwriters\, experiences that helped shape his approach to live performance and songwriting. Working in one of the country’s most respected music communities gave him the opportunity to grow as an artist while building a broad range of musical influences and professional experience. \nIn 2021\, Ryan returned to Oregon\, bringing with him years of experience gained on stages and in writing rooms throughout Nashville. Since moving back\, he has continued performing across the Pacific Northwest\, combining the perspective and musicianship developed in Music City with the roots and influences that first inspired him to pursue music. \n
