WIN STUFF WEDNESDAY

It’s Win Stuff Wednesday, aka the day we turn your inbox into a treasure chest. Up for grabs this week: throwback joy with Aly & AJ, boot-stompin’ bangers from Eric Church, sweet harmonies at Portland Folk Fest, and a bunch more we’re too lazy to list but are absolutely worth winning.

THIS WEEK

🤠 Chaparelle

Tomorrow @ Wonder Ballroom (8PM)

You ever wander into a room and suddenly feel cooler just for being there? That’s Chaparelle. Whether it’s honky tonk parties, desert drag shows, or outlaw line dancing, this spot brings dusty glam and rowdy charm in equal measure.

🪕 Lost Bayou Ramblers

Tomorrow @ Polaris Hall (8PM)

Lost Bayou Ramblers are stomping through with their bayou-born, punk-spiked Cajun fire — fiddle flips, accordion freakouts, and French lyrics you don’t need to understand to scream along.

📣 Warren Zeiders

Tomorrow @ Hayden Homes Amphitheater (7:30PM)

Warren Zeiders is bringing that outlaw country snarl to Bend. Expect long hair, leather jacket, and a voice that sounds like it chews gravel for breakfast.

🔥 The Raveonettes

Friday @ Aladdin Theater (8PM)

The Raveonettes are back to drench you in fuzzed-out guitar, noir pop, and Danish cool so icy it might crack. Think reverb-soaked romance and harmonies that haunt.

🎧 Mr. Gnome

Friday @ Mississippi Studios (9PM)

Mr. Gnome makes psych rock feel like a fever dream — thunderous drums, ethereal vocals, and riffs that hit like visions. It’s like if Karen O got trapped in a David Lynch movie.

LOCALS ONLY

  • While some of us are clinging to the end of summer, some are already gearing up for the holiday season. If you fall into the latter category, you’ll be happy to know the Portland Winter Lights Festival is hosting its annual raffle.
