GEARHART — Father-and-son Bill and Charlie Wadhams will perform in concert 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, March 18 at the McMenamins Sand Trap Pub, located at 1157 N. Marion Ave. All ages are welcome at this free event.

Father Bill Wadhams is a founding member of ’80s band Animotion and singer of the hit song “Obsession.” He is still active with Animotion, recording a new album for 2016 release and performing with Wang Chung, A Flock of Seagulls and Berlin. He’s been living and working in Portland since ’93.

Son Charlie Wadhams recorded his debut album with film composer Michael Andrews (“Donnie Darko” and “Bridesmaids”). While making the record, Andrews suggested that Charlie write songs for the movie “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.” Two of Charlie’s songs made it in the film: “Let’s Duet” and “Guilty As Charged.”

In the next few years, Charlie released two EPs under his name and an EP with Priscilla Ahn under the band name Sweet Hearts. He’s also had songs placed in the movies “Bad Teacher” and “Cyrus.” Daniel Johnston, Jonathan Richman, Bird and the Bee, and David Lindley are just a few of the artists Charlie Wadhams has performed with.

Bill and Charlie will be joined by musicians Jim Brunberg and Ben Landsverk of Wonderly and Box Set Duo/Trio for this performance.
