Daily Email - Wednesday - 8/13/2025

August 13, 2025

Redferrin sounds like a truck caught fire outside a dive bar (in a good way). Country twang, rockstar energy, the dude's got a voice built for midnight bad decisions and muddy boots. We're giving away tickets to see him live at Wonder Ballroom next month.

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Axes. Ale. Absolute mayhem. Viking Beer Festival is crashing into Portland on August 22–23, and to this horn-clinking, mead-guzzling, historically inaccurate masterpiece. Expect 60+ craft beers, Viking metal, axe throwing, fire performers, and a bunch of bearded strangers screaming about Odin.*

  • Get tickets for Headspace to experience a face-melting, rhythm-heavy fever dream at Crystal Ballroom on September 20 with local bands Gata Galáctica, Fluid Droid, Salo Panto, and Rarefaction.

  • Desert Dwellers is bringing the Between Worlds Tour to The Den for two nights. Get tickets to fill your brain with cosmic energy this October.

  • Equal parts indie rock, dreamy pop, and Tumblr-core melancholy, Carter Vail brings the Coydog Tour to Hawthorne Theatre on October 12.

  • Catch Rexx Life Raj live for a set that’s part soul cleanse, part bass-fueled sermon at Hawthorne Theatre on November 19.

WIN STUFF WEDNESDAY

For people who like laughing, crying, and pretending to be cultured. We’ve got giveaways for Nate Bargatze (deadpan king), Carlos Ballarta (mustache chaos), Pixies (legends only), and A Charlie Brown Christmas live show (yes, it’s adorable). Plus more. Probably too much more.

THIS WEEK

🪕 The Infamous Stringdusters & Leftover Salmon

Tomorrow @ Grand Lodge (5:30PM)

Mandolins will melt. Fiddles will fly. The Infamous Stringdusters and Leftover Salmon are teaming up for a night of pure Americana lightning.

💓 Kali Uchis

Tomorrow @ Moda Center (8PM)

Floating somewhere between soul, trap, bolero, and bedroom pop, Kali Uchis’ music hits like a love spell you want to fall for.

📣 Michael Seyer

Tomorrow @ Mississippi Studios (9PM)

Michael Seyer’s voice sounds like heartbreak filtered through a VHS player. Catch his intimate, haze-drenched set and melt into the void (in a good way).

❤️ The Head and The Heart

Friday @ Edgefield (6:30PM)

The Head and The Heart are back to make you cry in public (again). The harmonies, the handclaps, and the spiritual gut punches hit even harder live. Don’t pretend Rivers and Roads didn’t ruin you.

🍄 Infected Mushroom

Friday @ 45 East (10PM)

Infected Mushroom is throwing a DJ set that will scramble your brainstem. Psytrance legends turned full-blown sonic arsonists - expect face-melting visuals, wild BPM swings, and zero regard for subtlety.

WIN: TAYLOR TOMLINSON

Your emotional support comedian has entered the chat. You’ve seen her on Netflix oversharing like your funniest friend on meds — now Taylor Tomlinson is taking that slightly unstable brilliance on tour. Razor-sharp jokes about therapy, God, dating apps, and dying alone? She’s got ‘em.*

LOCALS ONLY

  • Jackie’s is hosting a Sweet Block Party this Saturday from 1 PM - 8 PM featuring live music and a local vendor market!
