It’s time to rock, Portland. One word, one abbreviation and one acronym: MusicFestNW. This is Portland’s indie rock all-you-can-eat buffet. A friend and I went the first time I visited Portland and I think I drove everyone back home crazy talking about it afterwards.

So MusicFestNW brings all these bands and artists together for a bunch of shows at venues all over the city. The way it works is you buy a wristband for $50. This gets you into everything over four days. The challenge seriously is deciding what to see so you don’t miss something else.

This year the lineup includes, well, everyone: Britt Daniel of Spoon who lives in Portland now I think, Crooked Fingers, Fleet Foxes, M Ward, Vampire Weekend, even Sir Mix-A-Lot. There are a crazy number of acts. Better start studying.

Later,
Keith
