Portland's Music Journal

About Me

I am an online publication devoted to the music coming out of and going through Portland, Oregon. Through daily news updates, features, live reviews, tour diaries and daily streaming mp3s, I will guide you through a number of Portland music scenes with ease. I also boast daily music listings for the most notable local and national shows playing at Portland clubs, as well as the most complete and comprehensive database of the shows that fill this town's bars and clubs. And this is all brought to you by the same group of writers that cover the local scene for Portland's largest and most dependable news weekly, Willamette Week. I am awesome. You will see.
