Aisle of View at the Hawthorne Lounge

Hawthorne Theater Lounge Live Show

Last Tuesday, (March 4th) Portland’s own up-and-coming Reggae group of good friends showed their love for returning home. After touring the North/Midwest for the last month, AOV received a warm welcome back, packing the floor with fans, friends and family at the Hawthorne Theater Lounge.

This being their first tour together as AOV, the time spent together as a band proved to be a great bonding experience.

“You really learn each other’s smell,” says guitarist/vocalist Elijah Cruz with a genuine laugh.

More than often, the group of seven friends and two dogs spent the night with each other in a packed rental van…

So far, they’ve loved exploring new places, meeting new friends, and playing good music with the people they love.

Throughout the tour, Aisle of View has been playing a variety of original music from their newly released self-titled album, as well as new material they’ve been writing along the way.
