STARRING:
Ben Landsverk is a Portland treasure. Whether he’s bringing community together with Low Bar Chorale, or doing epic tunes with his band Wonderly, Ben always fills hearts with sweet joy.
Little Hexes will always blow your socks off, with their quirky art-pop, literary punk inventions, and mashups. Their songs include odes to Cleopatra, Marie Curie’s relationship with radium. They are always fascinating and wicked-original.
Dust & Thirst is rustic, acoustic, blue-grassy, and full of vintage authenticity. They’re time-warp troubadours who bring the sounds and vibes of a time gone by, playfully reminding us how REAL music can be, and should be.
Randall Blazak, PhD is a nationally recognized expert on hate groups and extremism, former PSU professor, and longtime chair of Oregon’s Coalition Against Hate Crimes. Randy will share his thoughts on the upcoming midterms and how we can stand together, speak out, and resist hate.
Mammoth in Space likes to invoke shag carpets, lava lamps, and wood paneling in all of their music, throwing listeners back to a time when flared cords were king, and songs actually had melodies. Joining founding members Miri Stebivka and Darka Dusty on this night will be Amy Spreadborough, Karamy Muessig, and Dave Melyan.

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL! Please join us for an evening of MUSIC, DANCING, joyful reminders that community brings strength, and moments of hilarity. Guaranteed.
