Summer Shows on the City Hall Lawn

Our second annual Summer Show Series was a rousing success! More than 800 people pulled up a piece of lawn and enjoyed locally grown music--right on the steps of City Hall!

We were lucky to work closely with two local music festivals to help put the shows together. In July [0], we worked with PDX POP NOW! [1], a local non-profit music fest focused on creating all age shows making music more accessible for younger people.

Music Fest NWWe rocked August [2] when we worked with Music Fest Northwest [3] who pulled together great local bands--both established and emerging. This unique show was an interesting mix of Portland's Rock Royalty--ala the Pierced Arrows--and new Punk upstarts--the Shaky Hands.

Thanks again to PDX POP NOW! and Music Fest Northwest and Willamette Week [3] to help create great opportunities for Portlanders to enjoy free local music--in a context that was both surprising and interesting for the audience.
