Chase Shakur: The It’s Still Love Tour – w/ The Arti$t – All Ages

Chase Shakur’s vision is both simple and unendingly ambitious. To put it plainly, the Atlanta-born artist wants to change the sound of R&B. On his new project, “it’s not you, it’s me”, the talented singer-songwriter transcends genre signifiers to conjure up a unique world. Armed with a deep grasp of the South’s musical history—hip-hop, funk, soul, pop, and R&B—Shakur synthesizes these various elements into a forward-thinking sound deeply rooted in Black culture. The new project is an expansion of his critically acclaimed 2022 release, “It’ll Be Fine”, and a mesmerizing meditation on life after a toxic relationship. On “it’s not you, it’s me”, vulnerability mingles with toughened scars, creating a work that situates Shakur as steely and willing to learn from his own failures. After deciding to pursue music full-time and drop out of school, Shakur was barred from living in his childhood home. He couch-surfed and spent days in various studios, resting between songwriting sessions. This era helped him forge collaborative bonds with other producers and songwriters, some of whom went on to figure in his Forever N September collective, a group of musicians who helped craft the sound of “it’s not you, it’s me”. The resulting project feels diaristic and transcendent. “it’s not you, it’s me” is a reflection of Chase Shakur’s career thus far, particularly his mental toughness and ability to keep pushing forward all in pursuit of that one goal: To change the shape of music.TWO TYPES OF VIP PACKAGES ARE AVAILABLE! DETAILS HERE:1) Chase Shakur – Meet & Greet Package(VIP TICKET TIER 1)Package Includes: – One General Admission Ticket-Meet & Greet with Chase Shakur- Polaroid Photo Opp with Chase Shakur – Early Entry into the venue – Merchandise Shopping Opportunity before doors open to public – Exclusive VIP Merch – Commemorative VIP Laminate- On-site VIP Host 2) Chase Shakur – Early Entry Package(VIP TICKET TIER 2) Package Includes: – One General Admission Ticket – Early Entry into the venue- Merchandise Shopping Opportunity before doors open to public – Exclusive VIP Merch – Commemorative VIP Laminate- On-site VIP Host

TODD SICKAFOOSE’S BEAR PROOF & BLUE CRANES – w/ Harlan Silverman – Presented by Holocene & Creative Music Guild – 21+

Note: This will be an intimate event in our front lounge room, and we will have a reduced capacity for this event. It is general admission and mostly seated (with some standing room) – seating is first come, first served.Holocene, together with Creative Music Guild for their annual festival, The Improvisation Summit of Portland, present:Todd Sickafoose’s BEAR PROOF: West Coast native Todd Sickafoose brings a special octet featuring Jenny Scheinman (violin), Adam Levy (guitar), Carmen Staaf (piano), Ben Goldberg (clarinet), Kirk Knuffke (cornet), Rob Reich (accordion), and Allison Miller (drums). JazzTimes calls Sickafoose “thoroughly original” and “endlessly creative,” and the San Francisco Chronicle calls him “a captivating improviser, imaginative composer, and master of collaboration.” He’s worked with an array of iconoclastic performers – the New Yorker has referred to him as “Ani DiFranco’s secret weapon” and he is the Tony and GRAMMY Award-winning orchestrator and music producer of Anais Mitchell’s current Broadway hit “Hadestown”. Tonight’s concert will be a rare performance of BEAR PROOF, an hour-long piece and “a surreal meditation on BOOM and BUST.” Members of the all-star ensemble have played with a range of musical innovators, from Bill Frisell to Norah Jones, Dee Dee Bridgewater to Dr. Lonnie Smith, Tin Hat to Andrew Bird. BLUE CRANES:Keeping a band together, particularly among the mercurial community of jazz musicians, is no small feat. Other gigs beckon. Life outside of making art takes precedence. It’s a reality that makes the continued existence and progression of Portland quintet Blue Cranes feel so momentous. The ensemble — saxophonists Reed Wallsmith and Joe Cunningham, drummer Ji Tanzer, keyboardist Rebecca Sanborn, and bassist Jon Shaw — has been working together in a variety of formats since 2004, creating a solid body of work that has connected them to both the traditional sounds and the future-minded artists of their chosen genre. What has kept them together, even as Cunningham has lived outside of Portland for the past few years, is strong personal and creative bonds. As a collective, their remit has always been to continually push their art further and further outside their comfort zones and to the edges of their abilities. It’s what fueled the group’s last album, 2021’s Voices, which found Blue Cranes recording for the first time with an assortment of vocalists (Laura Gibson, Edna Vazquez, Holland Andrews, Peter Broderick, Laura Veirs). And that desire to stretch even further beyond their previous work is at the heart of their new album My Only Secret.
