JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Acclaimed harpist Mikaela Davis blends celestial strings with breezy ‘70s soft rock energy, like Joni Mitchell wandered into a dream sequence and never left. Secure tickets for Mississippi Studios in June.

  • Broncho is pulling a full double feature in Portland June 5 & 6. One night they’re ripping through Double Vanity front to back. The other? Just Enough Hip in its entirety. Get tickets!

  • Blackberry Smoke is rolling through with the Rattle, Ramble and Roll Tour in June, and you already know it won’t be quiet. Expect twin guitars, Southern-fried soul, and the kind of riffs that feel best with a cheap beer in hand.

  • The day before their Pioneer Square gig with The Mountain Goats, The Hold Steady is hitting up Mississippi Studios on August 7.

  • PawPaw Rod makes breakup anthems for people who still look hot while spiraling. The Hawaii-born crooner blends silk-smooth R&B and off-kilter indie pop. Hear it live on the Picture Day Tour in September.

News Without the Noise (Or the Nervous Breakdown)

If your morning news feels like it chugged three energy drinks, maybe try something calmer. 1440’s editors scan 100+ reliable sources, cut the noise, and deliver a sharp 5-minute rundown of what actually matters in politics, business, science, and culture. No spin. No bots. No drama. Just clear, levelheaded news — always free.*

  • Rock nerds, this one’s for you. The 75th Annual Agate & Mineral Show is back with sparkling slabs, prehistoric fossils, handmade jewelry, and enough geodes to redecorate your entire apartment.
