Oregon

Known in pop culture for its weird, liberal, hipster, eco-friendly atmosphere, Oregon just sounds like the type of place to have a robust music culture. Unlike many other music hubs of its quality, Oregon is void of a centrally-defining sound or scene of listeners. Wacky fusion sounds are the norm. Experimentation is key. Hybrid bands are celebrated. In this anything-that’s-good-goes space, artistry flourishes. Keep reading to discover why this makes Oregon an ideal place to take in the concert experience.

Oregon is a ganglion of creative energy

Far enough removed from big-name scenes such as New York and Los Angeles, many artistic powerhouses find their way to Oregon to refocus their creative selves. Downtown Portland is loaded with cultural activity, with lots of off the beaten path spots to take in food, art, performance, museums, and more. Portlandia might be on to something.

Some of the best-known names in alternative rock, indie rock, psychedelic rock, psychedelic pop, progressive rock, garage rock, metal, synth-pop, and folk call—or have called—Oregon home. These groups include Sleater-Kinney, Elliott Smith, The Dandy Warhols, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Chris Botti, Chromatics, STRFKR, Portugal. The Man, The Decembrists, Brad Wilk, The Shins, Tommy Thayer, Carrie Brownstein, and Modest Mouse.

What does this mean for people seeking great concerts? Incredible artistry is blooming in this state. See why so many of your favorite artists are relocating to Oregon by visiting for yourself. Aladdin Theatre is the perfect venue for the relaxed, grown-up rock lover. The Know is ideal for the punk anarchists among us. Edgefield, the largest outdoor venue, is the best place to see outdoor acts in the summer.

Oregon has a constant stream of new, novel talent

Although Portland attracts the most attention from out-of-towners, immense talent reaches across the state of Oregon. Pendleton, Eugene, Salem, Bend, and Medford all host artists creating fantastic music across genres. In a genuine, stylish state, new artistic finds are not hard to find. Through festivals, bars, and stages, new musicians have a chance to reach audiences.

One of these of-the-moment artists is Vikesh Kapoor, a Pennsylvania to Oregon transplant. In his younger years, Kapoor was drawn to church hymns, punk, and the American folk. These influences fuse together in Kapoor’s first album, The Ballad of Willy Robbins, a socially aware and inspired creation. Typhoon is another notable, relatively new group. After growing up together in Salem and relocating to Portland, this indie rock, symphony-inspired band is Oregon through and through. Phil Spector’s 1960s concept the Wall of Sound also known as Spector Sound is a staple in their tunes, forming a true typhoon of omnipotent sounds layered together.

If you are looking to see an impressive concert, this is just a small sample of what is available to Oregon listeners. Check out There Is No Mountain for psychedelic Americana, MOsley WOtta for an experiment in hip hop-rap, Ural Thomas & The Pain for a new take on classic soul sounds, and Radiation City for a seductive, lux merge of 70s extravagance, 80s futurism, and 90s edge. Adventure Galley, And And And, Onuinu, ad Lost Lander are other local groups churning out great shows in Oregon.

Oregon adopts a community empowerment approach towards urban change

Since the recession in the early 2000s, economic life has made a notable recovery in many parts of the United States. However, for urban life, this has meant gentrification pushes out much of a city’s diversity—including niche communities, lower income residents, systemically disadvantaged populations—while homogenizing itself. With low property values, upper class people buy property and open businesses, pushing out the fabric that gave urban communities texture, vibrancy, and life.

In general, Oregon has taken a different approach to re-urbanization, particularly in Portland. Consumption is focused on authentic, culture-oriented spaces. Quality public transport enables low income and eco-conscious citizens to remain in cities. Networks of artisan workers, including musicians, have banded together to fend off the erasure of what makes Portland what it is. This process of empowerment and cultural retention has had positive political consequence in Oregon.

How does all of this translate to the city’s music? Artists have power. They create the communities in which they share their sounds. With lower cost of living than other major cities, artists can afford rent. The niche, not-yet-heard, and bizarre is not forced out by gentrification. The character and essence of the arts stays the same funky, weird, cool that it should be. And, art has the opportunity to imitate life by contributing to and moving real-world conversations about society, culture, economics, and other vital topics. What is not to love about that? Oregon gives listeners a concert that means something.
