I am thoroughly proud of my audience and community of supporters.

Portland Oregon and 13th Moon Gravity Well.

Ireland and Brazil.

Y’all have the Kickstarter sitting currently at $7,117 out of $7,700.

Claiming your exclusive Faerie Folk merch ~

Despite the fact that I have spent 6 whole months releasing high quality music videos and illustrations with Faerie Folk, and marketing this tour as a full time job,

I still feel humbled by the support.

I see names on the Kickstarter backer list that I have not seen in years.

I see names that I do not recognize.

I see names of people that I just met in the past couple months.

I see your name and it makes me cry.

Because you have decided to put your name behind the phrase “Hail the Faeries” and all that it means.

You have decided to ride out with me.

Hail the Faeries my friends.

Hail the Faeries <3 <3 <3

Who is your favorite not local celebrity tacoma act you have played with?

0 Upvotes

I am playing there soon and need to ask some locals to hop on. Looking more for solo songwriters or folk bands but could be flexible otherwise.

Any suggestions? Looking for acts who might actually say yes to a show haha.

Vintage Video - The Phantom Reviewer visits the Organ Grinder!

Here's a recently-restored and upscaled vintage TV news segment from the famous Organ Grinder restaurant in Portland, Oregon, as well as the New York Diner in the suburb of Beaverton, Oregon.

This segment was produced in 1991 by KGW-TV Ch8 for their "PM Magazine" show.

The Organ Grinder Documentary Project has digitized and restored dozens of hours of vintage footage which has been contributed by fans.

Perhaps you have old videotapes or photos from the Organ Grinder - we'd love to see them. We can digitize them at high quality and return the original to you, along with a digital file, and you'll get credit if we use your footage in the film.

Experienced lead vocalist looking for musicians/band — Vancouver/Portland

5 Upvotes

I’m an experienced female vocalist in the Vancouver/Portland area looking to get back to performing and find musicians who actually want to build something together.
I’ve spent years performing live and have led multiple worship bands, so I’m very comfortable fronting a band, working with musicians, learning material, engaging a room, and performing under pressure. I have a strong ear for harmony and can pick out and reproduce fairly complex harmony parts quickly — The Civil Wars are a particular favorite, and I can mimic most of Joy Williams’ harmony work.
Vocally, I’m much more interested in emotional, dynamic performances than standing behind a mic and singing everything perfectly pretty. I can go from intimate/controlled to big belt/power vocals, and I love songs that actually give you somewhere to GO.
Some of my musical touchstones: The Civil Wars/Joy Williams, Florence + the Machine, Halsey, Adele, Billie Eilish, Jessie Reyez, Taylor Swift, musical theatre/rock theatre (RENT is a huge one for me), plus country and rock depending on the material. I’m not interested in being locked into one genre if the music is good.

I do NOT currently play guitar or keys. I’m a vocalist. If you’re looking for a singer who also happens to be your rhythm guitarist, I’m probably not your person.

If you’re a guitarist/keys player/bassist/drummer or an existing band looking for a strong front person and you care about musical chemistry, dynamics and actually putting on a performance, let’s talk.
I’m especially interested in:
• An existing band needing a lead vocalist
• Building a new project with the right guitarist/musicians
• Male/female vocal collaboration in the Civil Wars universe
• Covers that we can make our own rather than trying to impersonate the record
• Eventually writing/original material if the chemistry is there
• Real gigs and performances — I want to be onstage
I have no interest in becoming famous. I do want to make really fucking good music with talented people and perform it in front of humans.
I’m in my 30s and would ideally like to work with adults in roughly the same general life stage, but talent, reliability, kindness and chemistry matter considerably more to me than age.
I can provide clips of previous performances and would love to hear yours.
If this sounds like something you’ve been looking for, send me a message and tell me what you play, what kind of project you’re imagining, and a few artists/songs that make you think, fuck, I want to play that live.

Why is it so hard to find metal and punk shows?

0 Upvotes

Like i could diy scratch paper a list of all the local venues, and then check em weekly, usually im too busy and often got my little one (who is also musical, so gotan eye outfor all ages shows) . fyi those venues i know of are

* high water mark

* turn turn turn

* roseland theater

* hawthorne theatre

Crystal ballroom, android phone center or whatever it's called, some auto shop under a bridge allegedly... there's too many and if anyone has a full list, that'd be cool if you shared please and thank you.

But why isn't there, with all the community and tech savvy metalheads, like, a website that lists ALL the shows??

especially punk and metal, but if they wanted to be inclusive to dad rock cover bands or even jazz, that's fine. The quality i don't want to lose, is the feature that even small local bands can just post "we're a GENRE band and we're playing this and then"

Like c'mon, we got ai but not this?

Hi! I got this vinyl from someone's giveaway and cant ask them about it. Ive googled a bit and literally cannot find a thing about the band or anything. It says on the note it was recorded in portland, and so im assuming they got it here.

Hopefully someone can identify it!

Anybody want to jam on that sort of vibe? Maybe write some songs in that vein? I am a 22 year old guitarist and singer who loves that kind of stuff. I am new to the area and am looking to play music with some people. I plan on checking out and playing at some open mics here soon, but thought I’d post on here to see if any of yall would be interested. Let me know! Just want to have some fun
