ASIAN OWNED BUSINESSES IN PDX

Asian-owned businesses aren’t just having a moment- they’re redefining what it means to be cool, creative, and community-driven, all year long. But during AAPI Month, the spotlight gets a little brighter, and the flavors a little bolder.

THIS WEEKEND

🎶 J Balvin

Tomorrow @ Moda Center (8PM)

Next time you hear an infectious beat, just remember: it’s probably J Balvin mixing reggaeton with electronica, trap, and R&B.

🚨 Miya Folick

Tomorrow @ Holocene (5PM)

Miya Folick is serving up music that’s equal parts confessional therapy session and primal scream during her Erotica Veronica Tour with special guest Olivia Kaplan.

🎧 MARSH

Tomorrow @ 45 East (10PM)

MARSH’s music is a love letter to early 2000s trance and the kind of drum & bass that’s distilled into lush, melodic house anthems.

🔥 Steel Pulse

Sunday @ Wonder Ballroom (7PM)

Pioneering roots reggae band Steel Pulse fuses reggae with punk and ska influence. See the award-winning band live at Wonder Ballroom.

🎧 Djrum

Sunday @ Holocene (7PM)

If a jazz pianist, a warehouse raver, and a film composer fused into one, you would find Djrum. Don’t miss the British DJ with Jon A.D.
