Enjoy an open jazz jam session for all ages and levels. An opportunity for younger musicians to play with seasoned pros and learn from experience.

Max Tucker is leading the Student Jazz Jam at Artichoke Music. Max, along with the afternoon's house band, will warm up the stage with a short set, and the jam will follow. The backline includes a keyboard and a drum set. Max Tucker is a drummer, producer and educator living in Portland, Oregon. He relocated to Portland in 2018, moving from NYC, where he studied jazz at the New School and studied with master drummer Michael Carvin. He is currently teaching drums and playing actively in the fertile Portland music scene.

Neighborhood farmers market featuring local farms, distilleries, coffee, bakeries, flowers, hot food vendors and more.

The market was founded by a grassroots group of neighbors inspired by the vision of a fresh, local food market in a shared community space within the growing SE Stark Street business district. This dedicated group opened the market in just 10 short months with a small amount of grant funds and a generous outpouring of donations from local businesses, friends and neighbors. The tireless energy of these unpaid visionaries and countless other volunteers allowed MFM to open its first market on Sunday, July 22, 2007, with 17 vendors and over 2000 visitors.

Montavilla Farmers Market is a thriving, diverse marketplace where all are welcome.

Join the jam! Bring your guitar, fiddle, mandolin or banjo to our weekly bluegrass jam circle. Players with intermediate skills and above are invited to this Tuesday tradition. New faces welcome!

Do you enjoy playing music with others in a friendly, cooperative, relaxed, fun setting? You are invited to bring your instrument of choice to the Slow Jam session at the ACC. Dust off that mandolin, wind instrument or tambourine and come to the ACC for a session. For more information please contact Karl Ockert at [email protected]

A trio will play the first set. There will be a sign-up sheet with 10 tunes picked out, as well as openings for songs of choice and originals. Not just a jazz jam. Any genre, style and flavors welcome. Please be respectful and wear a mask when not drinking, eating or playing a horn. There will be a PA set with 2 mics, Keys with an amp, a guitar amp, a bass with an amp, Drums, and 2 DI boxes. Bring your sticks, instrument, instrument cable, or anything less than the keys and drums.

What’s more, playing tunes can make you feel happy, and if you do it often enough, you’ll notice that you are getting better at playing your instrument too! It turns out that you don’t even have to be in the same place…great things still happen when we play music together, online from the comfort of your own home. Phoenix Folk Ltd exists to promote participation and performance in folk and acoustic music, song and dance across the North East of England. We aim to be a friendly face of folk music, to help keep alive the great traditions of folk music and to encourage talent and personal musical development. Everyone is muted, which means that you hear your own instrument, completing a trio with our fiddle and guitar. You can play the tune, or try some harmony!

Every Tuesday, something pretty special happens at Tomorrow's Verse Taproom. Musicians pull up a chair, listeners grab a pint, and for a couple of hours the room turns into the kind of community space that's getting harder and harder to find. No stage, no spotlight, no barriers—just people sharing songs, stories, and a love of live music.

Whether you play, listen, or just enjoy being around good people, Bluegrass and Brews is a place to connect. Discover your new favorite musician, catch up with neighbors, and support a group of local pickers who keep traditional music alive, one tune at a time.

Pull up a chair. Order a pint. Stay awhile. The music's better when the room (or courtyard) is full.

Bobby Vega

Tomorrow's Verse | Portland, Oregon

Some of the best nights of music never make the posters.

They're the nights where someone texts a friend, "You should get down here."

Some nights are about who's on the bill.

These aren't.

That's what Bobby Vega is bringing to Tomorrow's Verse

Bobby will be there. That's all we're telling you.

Who else shows up? You'll have to find out the old-fashioned way—by being there.

These aren't showcase gigs or carefully packaged performances. They're community hangs. They're the kind of nights where incredible players call tunes, trade ideas, take chances, and remind everyone why live music still matters. Some names you'll recognize immediately. Others you'll discover for the first time. Every one of them belongs in the room.

No announcements. No lineup drops. No chasing likes.

The only way to find out who's sitting in is to walk through the door.

Portland has always had these pockets where the scene comes alive—not because somebody marketed it, but because people knew it was worth showing up for. Third Thursdays are built in that tradition.

Bring your friends. Grab a drink. Meet some new people.

This is a sliding scale event $5-$20. Kindly pay what you can afford in the tip jar. We also take venmo.

To help preserve the spirit of these gatherings, we ask that there be no audio or video recording and no photography during the performances.

When the time is right, we'll share thoughtfully curated moments from these evenings ourselves.

Thank you for being present and helping make these nights special.

18 years of tradition, Froggy's Blues Jam—also known as the Church of Eternal Suds—continues to be Oregon's longest-running blues jam. Always check with venue t
