Local Shows to Hit this Weekend
Portland is not a desert in any capacity: Great food, great music, great drinks, great people abound. Which means we have the wonderful problem of great shows every night of the week. Without prior knowledge of a band, sometimes it’s hard to pick a show. But fret no longer – PRP is here to help! Below you will find band, venue, and cost information, as well as links to each of the artists, so you can give their music a test spin.
