The Dill Pickle Club and PDX Pop Now! are proud to partner in presenting NORTHWEST PASSAGE, a 3-part dinner lecture series examining the history of independent music in the NW.

Portland, a city known for its vibrant independent music scene, has a relatively obscure and unknown musical history. Through this ongoing series, we hope to celebrate the origins of Portland’s music community, and honor those so often pushed to the margins.

The series kicks off THURSDAY, MARCH 11th at the Waypost. Here’s the line-up for the first event; it should be great!

“A Life in Soul”
URAL THOMAS
Longtime Portland R & B and soul singer

“Rock n’ Roll, Race & Poster Art”
