What a great start to Portland Radio Project‘s summer of Secret Shows: We dodged a weather bullet (thunderstorms ended just as the concert began, as Matt Zaffino predicted), an entire rainbow presented as the sun set (for 16th story guests, who were awed) and  featured band Mbrascatu had the crowd clapping and dancing for hours. Oh, and Live at 7 surprised us by popping in with their cameras for a TV spot – quite a night.

By now you know: PRP.fm has teamed up with Block 17, the new high rise apartments in the Pearl District, for a summer series of Secret Shows. We’re working with some of Portland’s top local bands to bring the very best talent to the fabulous Rooftop Clubhouse at Block 17.

Here’s how be among the first to hear our band announcements and get all the Secret Show details: Go to PRP.fm and on the box titled “Join the Band,” add your name and email address, press enter and you’re all set. (Can’t say much more yet, but you may want to save the date July 29.)

As soon as new concert information is released, we’ll send it directly to your inbox. (Clue: when the time is right, you’ll be texting the word SECRET to 83350 to win tickets!)

A great summer full of the best local musical performances. We look forward to sharing the fun with you. Join us for the Secret Shows, starting June 10 – up on the roof of Block 17 apartments in the Pearl, 1161 N.W. Overton, Portland.

Note: All Secret Shows will run 6:00 – 8:30 p.m. Arrive by 7:00 p.m. to ensure access.
