Daily Email - Wednesday - 9/10/2025

September 10, 2025

Eight storytellers, comedians, and PDX personalities tell wild but true stories from their own lives during 7 Deadly Sins. The catch: one of them is lying. Guess who’s lying and you can win a night at Edgefield Winery.*

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Electric Guest makes pop that winks while it grooves — slick, strange, and impossible to sit still through. Think Prince at a pool party with MGMT. Secure tickets for December!

  • Willie’s kid. Wild heart. One hell of a songwriter. Lukas Nelson is bringing that cosmic country soul to McDonald Theatre, and you’re gonna feel every damn note.

  • The Harlem Globetrotters spin basketballs, break physics, and dunk on reality itself. This isn't a game — it's basketball as live-action cartoon chaos. Witness full court flair at Moda Center in January.

  • Vitamin String Quartet reimagines Billie Eilish and Bridgerton bangers with lush, cinematic strings. It’s pop culture in a tux, and you can hear it live at Elsinore Theatre in February.

  • Bailey Zimmerman pulls up to Hayden Homes Amphitheater with breakup anthems, diesel-soaked vocals, and the kind of country hooks that crash charts and tailgates next summer.

WIN STUFF WEDNESDAY

We’re giving away tickets like Oprah on a bender: The Great Gatsby Ballet (jazz hands), The Wombats (indie chaos), Charlie Brown Christmas Live (pure serotonin), and a whole lot more. Enter once, win forever bragging rights.

THIS WEEK

🎟️ Walter Trout

Tomorrow @ Aladdin Theater (8PM)

Walter Trout is a blues-rock legend with the guitar tone of a lightning strike and a voice like it’s been soaked in whiskey and truth.

🤘 Wardruna

Tomorrow @ Keller Auditorium (7:30PM)

Wardruna summons ancient Norse spirits to Keller Auditorium with thunderous drums, ritual chants, and enough mythic energy to awaken Odin himself.

🎧 Kruder & Dorfmeister

Friday @ Crystal Ballroom (8PM)

Kruder & Dorfmeister drop into Crystal Ballroom with a DJ set so smooth it might time-travel you straight back to 1998 Vienna.

🍔 Mac Sabbath

Friday @ Aladdin Theater (8PM)

Mac Sabbath flips Black Sabbath classics into greasy, glorious parody — and yes, the clown sings. Catch the drive-thru doom at Aladdin Theater. Order up!

🌴 The Palms

Friday @ Mississippi Studios (9PM)

LA duo The Palms hit Mississippi Studios with sun-drunk hooks, west coast cool, and lyrics that feel like late-night drives down Mulholland. Roll the windows down.
