On Sunday afternoons, the Hostel Café in Portland, Oregon provides a friendly setting for this TrailJams Irish traditional tune session. TrailJams is a music community focused on making acoustic music together outside for the enjoyment of the musicians and of people passing by. The cozy café makes a great place to keep the music going in the winter. In better weather, the tune playing moves out to the café’s courtyard. Guests of the Hostel Café and the adjoining Northwest Portland Hostel are likely to settle at one of the nearby tables to enjoy the music.

COVID Policy:
Please be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 if you are joining this session — that is a request, not a requirement.

We’re excited to bring back the Portland Radio Project (PRP) Open Mic — a welcoming stage for local musicians and music lovers alike.

Join us Sunday, March 15 at The Riff at B-Side Records & Vintage on SE Main in Milwaukie as we relaunch this community tradition.

Musicians, bring what you need and come share your sound — acoustic or electric. A backline will be available.

And yes — it’s free, all ages. No cover, no sign-up fee. Just a room full of people supporting local music.

This is an all-ages event and a safe, inclusive space where everyone belongs — and every genre has a place.

Or just come hang out and discover your next favorite local artist.
­
Sign-ups start at 5 pm. The PRP Open Mic will take place every third Sunday of the month, creating a regular space for local musicians to perform, connect, and discover each other.

The Riff — an all-ages, inclusive space that makes this open mic possible.

At PRP, supporting local music isn’t just something we broadcast — it’s something we build. The Open Mic is one more way we create space for artists to connect, perform, and grow.

We hope to see you there.

Master button accordion player John Whelan hosts a free tune learning slow session on Zoom. The session starts at 2:30 pm Pacific time, lasts for about one hour, with a 30 minute break, and starting the Taking Time Slow Session at 4 pm Pacific.

Players and listeners of all levels are very welcome to enjoy playing or hearing favorite tunes at a moderate tempo, along with the all-important warmth of connection that shared music brings into our lives, even — or rather, especially — now.

This is also a great opportunity for learning new tunes, as everybody but the session leader (John) will be muted while they play. Unlike an in-person session you can noodle along to your heart’s content, and nobody will ever know unless you tell them.

John sends out the Zoom link and tune list to his newsletter subscribers every week, usually on Tuesday evening (Pacific time). Please make sure to sign up for his email newsletter, on his website, using the link below. That is all you need to do — no separate sign-up process required!
