We are excited to host Portland Bluegrass Sunday Jam every 2nd and 4th Sundays (and 5th when it happens) at Artichoke, $5 cover at the door.

This is a live, in-person, and open Bluegrass jam from 1-4 pm. Acoustic only please, and all levels of experience welcome.

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.

Portland Art Museum - RSVP for details to tamlynwal(*at*)gmail.com. Or just reserve a ticket for free entry and show up to enjoy the music, art and festivities.

All performances 6-8 pm (unless otherwise extended), free, 21+.

Mariachi bandleader Francisco Aguirre leads the next PFS global folksong workshop, 7 p.m. Nov 25 at Eastside Jewish Commons, 2420 NE Sandy Blvd. A native of El Salvador, Aguirre is a singer, guitarist and songwriter who plays a variety of Latin American styles. He leads Mariachi Chapala, a group that has been together since 2008 and is considered the Pacific Northwest’s premier practitioners of that Mexican musical style. Recent events have inspired him to write songs about the situation of immigrants in the United States. “It will be a honor for me to teach mariachi or any other Latin American song,” Aguirre said. Admission $10 advance (plus a fee of $1.68)/$12 at the door, with a $2 discount for PFS members.

Traditional and Contemporary folk music.

Hosted by:
Jack Bohl (1st Wednesday),

Tony Becker of San Jose, California and Mark Wallis of Gloucester, England host this Transatlantic session for all interested parties on Wednesdays at 8:00 PM UK time. For American visitors, please note we are now all on standard ‘winter‘ time, so that is 12:00 PM Pacific in the USA.

Open to all who play traditional Irish music and It has the obvious limitations of Zoom in that only one musician can play at a time. But we go round the ‘room’ and take it in turns - no pressure though and the baton can be passed if you just want to listen. We just play for a couple of hours.

On a good day we have a variety of instruments from pipes to Melodeon, banjo to fiddle and it can be a good way to pick up tunes. It is very friendly and we welcome everyone. The only criterion is we try to stick to Irish traditional.

All performances 6-8 pm (unless otherwise extended), free, 21+.

We open up a "room" on Zoom at 6 pm Pacific Time every Saturday evening. We start singing at 6:30 pm and we keep it going until the last person leaves. Feel free to come in anytime, and stay as long as you like. We run it kind of like a physical song circle. Everyone who wants to can sing once, and then we’ll do another round, and just keep going around as long as you like. Of course, it is totally fine to just listen and some people do. For more information, go to the heading ‘Song Circles‘ on this drop down menu.

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.

All performances 6-8 pm (unless otherwise extended), free, 21+.
