November is typically when we see a reduction of live music events—after the hot mess of summer tours. And yet, in a music-loving city like Portland, this month will still hold plenty of gems. We’re excited about a Haley Heynderickx opening set at the Roseland, a new Snugsworth side project, and two New Year’s Eve shows—while it's odd to start thinking about NYE concerts, they're on the horizon and tickets are dropping. MUST-SEE: Can’t miss.
The Mercury provides news and fun every single day—but your help is essential. If you believe Portland benefits from smart, local journalism and arts coverage, please consider making a small monthly contribution, because without you, there is no us. Thanks for your support! Good afternoon, Portland! Long live Kate Bush! We find ourselves on another one of those Fridays where there's far too much news. Pour one out for any chance of taking off early..
When you can’t beat the summer heat, you may as well just wait it out and enjoy the relative coolness of summer nights. This week we’re talking about the return (and expansion) of PDX Pop Now!, a Maita show on the Rontoms patio, and Savila and Blossom who’re set to play Mississippi Studios, where you can also take the post-show festivities to Bar Bar’s expansive patio. MUST-SEE: Two can’t miss upcoming shows. Sávila, BlossomCome out.
