Solid performances make for one hell of a first night at Portland’s MusicFestNW
Eighteen venues, four days, and a whole earful of great of music make up this year’s MusicFestNW.
Backed with a full band, including horn section, E’s stellar band rocked GAMH along with SoCal duo The Submarines and an Elvis impersonator.
I Break Horses make a musical collage of breathy vocals, alternating drums, pedaling bass, and fuzzed-out synth that make them more than just a one-trick pony.
In Stranger Day’s debut, producers EMYND and DJA help create a grab bag of genres to back one impressive rapper.
Tidelands’ debut album, If…, is a beautiful indie force to be reckoned with, hypnotic in its musicality.
Philly darlings Dangerous Ponies bring a mix of folksy indie rock a la She & Him and Apples In Stereo-style chamber pop.
Evans and Bechtolt have a paranormal bond that has aided greatly to their output and general message in Shangri-La.
