Oregon (Portland area):

 

June 17th
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes
McMenamin’s Edgefield, Troutdale, OR
Edgefield, Troutdale, OR
Tickets

“Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros is a 10-piece musical ensemble founded in 2007 during the yearlong recording of their first album, Up From Below. Disillusionment with his major label experience with Ima Robot drove founding singer-songwriter Alex Ebert to maintain a DIY recording ethos. “Un-professionalizing professionalism is my profession,” he recently quipped at a show. Considered pioneers of the folk-pop revival, the band’s self‐produced albums have experienced some popular success (plus one platinum song, “Home”).” Taken from EdgefieldConcerts.com

July 16th
Phillip Phillips, Matt Nathanson
Oregon Zoo Amphitheater, Portland, OR
Tickets

“One of the biggest singles of 2012, the quadruple-platinum “Home” announced Phillip Phillips as a singer/guitarist of both rare authenticity and massive pop appeal. Centering on the American Idol season 11 winner’s rich, raspy vocals and masterful guitar skills, “Home” served as the lead single from The World from the Side of the Moon (19 Entertainment/Interscope Records)—a platinum-selling album that shot to #4 on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart upon its November 2012 release. Phillips’s widely acclaimed debut also features the platinum single “Gone, Gone, Gone” and the Phillips’ penned “Where We Came From,” as well as a host of numbers that flaunt the 23-year- old Georgia native’s songwriting chops. Phillips spent most of 2013 on the road – with Matchbox 20, his own college headline tour and most recently he brought his rootsy brand of rock-and-roll to arenas around the country as the opening act for singer/songwriter superstar John Mayer’s Born and Raised tour.” Taken from ZooConcerts.com

 

June 24th
Ben Harper
McMenamin’s Edgefield, Troutdale, OR
Tickets

“It had been seven years since Ben Harper last played a show with the Innocent Criminals, so when the time came to reunite for a live tour in 2015, the band—percussionist Leon Mobley, bassist Juan Nelson, drummer Oliver Charles, keyboardist Jason Yates, and guitarist Michael Ward— quickly discovered that Harper had more in mind than simply revisiting the group’s prodigious collection of hits. In fact, Harper had been quietly amassing material for a new record, Call It What It Is, and the first recording sessions were scheduled to begin even before the rehearsals for their triumphant four-night sold-out reunion run at the Fillmore in San Francisco.” Taken from EdgefieldConcerts.com

 

July 8th
Goo Goo Dolls
McMenamin’s Edgefield, Troutdale, OR
Tickets

With special guests Collective Soul and Tribe Society

 

July 17th
Barenaked Ladies
McMenamin’s Edgefield, Troutdale, OR
Tickets

“I think it would be fair to say if the band was collectively known as Stella, then this record would indicate the reality that Stella had indeed got her groove back.” states Ed Robertson of Toronto’s Barenaked Ladies. After 27 years together, over 14 million albums sold, multiple Juno Awards, and Grammy nominations, “Silverball,” the cerebral band’s fourteenth album finds the long-standing partnership of Ed Robertson (guitar, vocals), Jim Creeggan (bass, vocals), Kevin Hearn (keyboard, guitar, vocals) and Tyler Stewart (drums, vocals) firing on all cylinders.” Taken from EdgefieldConcerts.com

 

July 23rd
B-52s, The English Beat
Oregon Zoo Amphitheater, Portland, OR
Tickets

“It is well known that the B-52s are the World’s Greatest Party Band. And thirty years and over twenty million albums into their career, there can be no doubt as to why The B-52s remain among the most beloved rock stars ever. Any mystery concerning the longevity and ongoing appeal of the band is immediately solved when exposed to a unique B-52s concert experience. From the timeless gems of “Rock Lobster,” “Planet Claire” and “Private Idaho” to the more recent classics “Channel Z,” “Love Shack” and “Roam”, the B-52s’ unforgettable dance-rock tunes start a party every time their music begins.” Taken from ZooConcerts.com

 

July 29th
An Evening With ThePianoGuys
Oregon Zoo Amphitheater, Portland, OR
Tickets

“Hailing from Utah, The Piano Guys became an Internet sensation by way of their immensely successful series of strikingly original self-made music videos. They’ve made over 35 since joining forces in early 2011, including their hit video, an innovative 10-handed version of One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful.” But it’s the Guys’ highly original blend of classical music with pop that has really been the cause of an Internet phenomenon that has brought them to their major label debut album, The Piano Guys, released on Sony Masterworks on October 2nd, 2012.” Taken from ZooConcerts.com

 

July 30th
Weezer and Panic! at the Disco
McMenamin’s Edgefield, Troutdale, OR

August 19th
Fitz and the Tantrums
Oregon Zoo Amphitheater, Portland, OR
Tickets

“The Washington Post called Fitz and The Tantrums’ live show “captivatingly crazy” and Rolling Stone praised the band for its “irrepressible energy: hopped-up rhythms, shout-it-out choruses, and hooted background vocals” in a review of More Than Just a Dream. The New York Times noted, “Their debut effort, ‘Pickin’ Up the Pieces’ (Dangerbird), and follow-up, ‘More Than Just a Dream’ (Elektra), burst with danceable hooks.” The Los Angeles Times said, “Fitz…understands what makes a good song…And co-vocalist Noelle Scaggs’ charisma overflows.” Taken from ZooConcerts.com
