PORTLAND FARMERS MARKETS

Step aside, sad supermarket tomatoes and flavorless, shrink-wrapped cucumbers—there’s a new sheriff in town, and it’s wearing overalls. Welcome to the ultimate guide to your local farmer’s markets: the only place where kale is fresher than your playlist and the only “organic” thing isn’t just the marketing budget.

THIS WEEK

🪕 Peter Rowan with Sam Grisman Project

Tomorrow @ Aladdin Theater (8PM)

If you’re the kind of person who thinks “bluegrass” is just a synonym for “banjo Olympics,” allow us to introduce you to the Peter Rowan and Sam Grisman Project - a collaboration you won’t want to miss.

👽 Powerman 5000

Tomorrow @ Star Theater (7PM)

Strap in, space cadets, Powerman 5000 is back, and they’re still the only band that can make you feel like you’re moshing at a rave on the Death Star.

🫧 Hitsujibungaku

Tomorrow @ Revolution Hall (6PM)

Tokyo-based trio Hitsujibungaku are the indie darlings who’ve managed to make shoegaze, grunge, and dream pop sound like they were always meant to hang out together.

🤠 Federale

Thursday @ Mississippi Studios (7PM)

Psychedelic rock ensemble Federale has spent the last 20 years making music that sounds like it was smuggled out of a lost 1971 Spaghetti Western.

🎤 Nikki Lane

Thursday @ Aladdin Theater (7PM)

If country music had a leather jacket, a lipstick stain, and a “don’t tell me what to do” attitude, it would be Nikki Lane. She’s the only person who could make a honky-tonk feel like a rock show and a vintage fashion runway at the same time.
