We are now officially in holiday season, folks—a happy development, despite our nation’s dystopian reality. Does anyone else feel like they’re living in a whirlwind? This week, we’re loving the release of Priceless, the highly anticipated debut album from smooth PNW emcee Karma Rivera, a new single from AAPI pop artist Rachel Wong, and the […]
Holy strong Portland, folks! I don’t have much to say other than: Be a good neighbor, keep resisting fascism at every level, and Happy Halloween! This week we’re looking forward to an Ural Thomas & the Pain 12-year anniversary show, as well as digging into Wynne’s new mixtape, and adding Leon Thomas’ December show to […]
Greetings, residents of this war-ravaged city! With all the things going on around the world, in this country, and in Portland specifically, it’s admittedly hard—even for me, this column’s author—to focus on pleasures like art and music in a time when authoritarianism is rapidly infecting our society’s institutions, all while our city is being occupied […]
Well folks, we are now officially in fall! Meaning it’s a smart idea to make note of the shiniest concerts of the winter in advance, allowing us to mentally and physically prepare for spirited and chilly outings. One such gem is Cardi B at Moda Center on February 19, which also marks the rapper’s Portland […]

As someone who’s already overwhelmed with the happenings of my inner world—while also being aware of the atrocities, injustices, genocides, wars, fascism, and disenfranchisement happening globally—I don’t have much of […]
After taking a couple months off for this freelance columnist’s [self-forged, unpaid] maternity leave, Hear In Portland is back, baby! For the last couple months I’ve been hard at work at home, focusing on keeping a newborn infant alive, healing from pregnancy and a c-section, breastfeeding on demand, potty training a toddler, and not sleeping […]
Kind of a short one this week, music fans, but we couldn’t let mention of the new Aminé album pass without a review. Also, don’t sleep on the PDX Live line-up—she’s almost here! (Okay, she’s in August). On a rainy day like today, imagine the August heat on your skin, sipping a seltzer surrounded by […]
If you’re a hardcore blues fan (or have recently had your love of blues music invigorated by Ryan Coogler’s new horror flick Sinners), you should check out the Waterfront Blues Festival’s lineup. The fest was recently augmented with artists including Oregon-based singer-songwriters including LaRhonda Steele and Ronnie Wright, Tahirah Memory and Arietta Ward, along with […]
