Tickets will go on sale today July 29th via projectpabst.com. One dollar from every ticket will go to help the Jeremy Wilson Foundation, dedicated to providing financial assistance in times of medical crisis and to improving the overall well-being of individual musicians and their families.
“We wanted to create a festival as uniquely original as the city itself,” says Pabst Brewing Company’s CMO Dan McHugh. “Project Pabst is a love letter to Portland. The company wanted to do something for the city that has embraced it and has never wavered in its support.”
Project Pabst has found an ideal site at the Zidell Yards in Portland, where the Zidell family is building the city's next great neighborhood in the once-industrial South Waterfront district on the Willamette River. Says Matt French, Managing Director, “In hosting Project Pabst as part of a series of exceptional outdoor events, the Zidell family continues to seed a dynamic neighborhood culture that will thrive as the Zidell Yards are redeveloped.”
To help them create the ideal multi-faceted festival experience Portland deserves, Pabst brought in Superfly, the renowned producers of such culture-defining events as Bonnaroo and Outside Lands. Superfly’s history of designing groundbreaking properties and cultivating them into becoming incomparable global phenomenons, coincided perfectly with Pabst’s remarkable vision as the largest American-owned brewer, which was subsequently established in 1844.
“We are very excited to be working with Pabst,” said Superfly’s Richard Goodstone. “They have a very unique approach to all they do, and their culture is very much aligned with how Superfly operates. We focus on adding dimension and tangibility to brand presence at our festivals, and Pabst has empowered us to bring that specific sensibility to Project Pabst.”
The unique strengths of these two companies using the backdrop of the beautiful waterfront in one of the greatest musical cities in the country is certain to make for an unforgettable weekend. The music programming will represent a wide range of genres, with major national headliners performing alongside exceptional emerging talent, making the event a substantial celebration of the established and the cutting edge. Local acts will also be featured prominently as the festival will represent Portland’s vibrant cultural community. The Portland flavor will also be seen in the festival’s concessions, featuring foods from local eateries.
McHugh concludes: “We wanted to treat this festival like a jukebox at midnight in some of our favorite Portland bars.”
With a seemingly endless selection of music and activities, Project Pabst is certain to provide a singular festival experience that will also serve as a beacon as it shines a light on the wonders of the Portland community.
Getting to Project Pabst
Project Pabst will take place in Portland’s South Waterfront District at the historic Zidell Yards located between the new Tilikum Crossing and the Ross Island Bridge. Zidell Yards is just 1.2 miles from downtown Portland and is easy to get to by walking, biking, and other public transportation options. Parking is limited, so we encourage the use of public transportation. If you do drive, please carpool to reduce traffic in the area and always choose a Designated Driver.

A forum called "US Foreign Policy: The Wars Continue" will take place on
Tuesday, September 23 at 7:00 PM at the Friends Meeting House, 4312 SE Stark
in Portland to examine America's role in the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Gaza,
Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and the re-ignited Cold War with Russia.
"After the US "withdrew" from Iraq in late 2011, the President urged Congress
to repeal the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force in Iraq, yet in
early August, he ordered bombs and missiles to be dropped on that country.
President Obama also promised to withdraw troops from Afghanistan by the end
of 2014, but now it appears at least 10,000 troops will remain there
indefinitely. The US Senate unanimously passed a resolution supporting
Israel's recent incursion into Gaza, which killed hundreds of civilians.
Tensions in Ukraine signal a renewed military standoff with Russia. And the US
continues dropping bombs from drones in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, while
Libya and Syria's situations remain unstable as well due to US intervention.
Meanwhile, America spends more on the military than any other nation as its
infrastructure crumbles and the gap between rich and poor widens.
Organizers expect to have one or more action items related to US policies for
people attending to undertake.
The coordinators of the forum include Peace and Justice Works Iraq Affinity
Group, Occupy Portland Elder Caucus, and American Friends Service Committee.
Endorsed by Recruiter Watch PDX, Little Light of Mine Friends Worship Group,
Portland Fellowship of Reconciliation, Oregon Physicians for Social
Responsibility and others. Other groups are welcome to support the effort. For
more information or to get involved contact Peace and Justice Works at
503-235-3065 or iraq@pjw.info."

Two of Portland's most talked-about bands, playing one of Portland's smallest spaces, for free. This show will be packed, but that's the best atmosphere for Orquestra Pacifico Tropical's ass-shaking cumbia and Tiburones' sun-scorched melodies. Capping off a week-long residency by Papi Fimbres, our town's busiest drummer.
Deep in the vein filled jungles of each of our hearts beats a music with roots as wide as continents and influence as deep as time itself. Cumbia, music of the Southern American Hemisphere. Orquestra Pacifico Tropical have taken this frenetic, addictive rhythm and accomplished what musicians across time and space have always done, bringing crowds into a blistering dance frenzy. From clubs to the forests of the Pacific Northwest, to hear the ecstatic thump, rumble, and sheer brilliance of the racing rhythms of coastal Columbia side by side with the psychedelic guitar explorations of the Peruvian rain forest is to travel across continents and through time with Orquestra Pacifico Tropical as the guide. WIth respect to those who came and innovated before us, and armed with an arsenal of percussion, woodwinds, horns, accordion and guitars, these 11 friends have come together in the spirit of capturing and breathing new life into this most essential of musics. Cumbia, music of the people.
Featuring members of Sun Angle, Deer or the Doe, O Bruxo, Ioa, Lewi Longmire Band,Tu Fawning, Point Juncture WA, Modernstate, Jippedo and Team Evil, Orquestra Pacifico Tropical's wall of sound is dedicated to expanding the music of Central and South America to the people and dance floors of the Pacific Northwest.

The Rhythm Runners deliver prohibition era jazz - with special guest Pete Krebs
The Rhythm Runners have convened under auspicious circumstances to deliver prohibition era jazz to the Pacific Northwest. With musicians hailing from New York, New Orleans and Seattle, this group of 5 horn and string players perform music rooted in the sounds of early jazz. Joining them at their Secret Society show will be Portland vocalist/guitarist Pete Krebs.
As the 2014 Seattle Lindy Exchange featured band, The Rhythm Runners will debut new work by guitarist Greg Ruby at the historic Washington Hall in Seattle, WA. The creation and presentation of these compositions are generously funded by the King County arts foundation, 4Culture. During the tour, the group will be headlining the opening night of DjangoFest Northwest, performing at concert and swing dance venues in the region including the Secret Society and making a studio recording of the new work.
During Ruby’s research into Seattle’s early jazz scene, he encountered the work of legendary Frank D. Waldron. A seminal early Northwest jazz musician, Waldron was a cornetist, saxophonist, bandleader, music educator, author and composer. In 1924, he published Syncopated Classic, a book of his compositions written as a tutorial to study the latest saxophone technique. Waldron’s book is one of the few documented sources of early jazz composition in the Pacific Northwest. With the assistance of a Seattle jazz historian, and archivist, Ruby accessed Waldron’s book. The upcoming concerts will feature The Rhythm Runners performing several of his compositions and audiences will hear Waldron’s music performed for the first time in over 70 years.
About the Rhythm Runners… A 2012 chance meeting between Seattle guitarist Greg Ruby and New York multi-instrumentalist Dennis Lichtman ignited the vision for the inception of The Rhythm Runners. Meeting in a shoebox sized music venue in Brooklyn, Litchman and Ruby struck up a conversation about old time fiddle music that diverged into an exchange about a shared love of vintage jazz. Mid-conversation Lichtman, exclaimed, “Are you Greg Ruby...from Seattle? I’m supposed to call you tomorrow about a west coast tour...what are you doing here?” As it happened, Lichtman had been given Ruby’s contact just hours previous as a recommended guitarist for his upcoming tour. It worked for Litchman and Ruby to join forces playing an East Coast tour through the Virginia Piedmont. The Rhythm Runners convened, joined by New York trumpeter, Gordon Au, and New Orleans trombonist Charlie Halloran and bassist Cassidy Holden. The band recorded a 7 inch - 45 rpm vinyl recording of Ruby’s compositions and the inspiration to bring the band west was sparked.
Dennis Lichtman - clarinet - New York
Dennis Lichtman is a clarinetist at the heart of the New York traditional-jazz scene. He leads the legendary Tuesday night jam session at Mona's in Manhattan, described by the Wall Street Journal as,"ground zero for an emerging late-night scene of young swing and traditional jazz players.” Recently, Dennis released a CD with his western swing band, The Brain Cloud and has been touring internationally playing fiddle and clarinet with roots guitarist/songwriter Pokey LaFarge.
Gordon Au - trumpet - New York

He is a sought-after trumpeter in the New York area, playing with such groups as Vince Giordano & the Nighthawks, David Ostwald’s Louis Armstrong Centennial Band at Birdland, the Dan Levinson Quintet, and Baby Soda Jazz Band. His own group, the Grand St. Stompers, will be featured at Jazz at Lincoln Center this October.
Charlie Halloran - trombone - New Orleans

Greg Ruby - guitar - Seattle
“Truly hot jazz” - Vintage Guitar Magazine. Seattle based guitarist and composer Greg Ruby is a distinctive voice in the Hot Club jazz tradition. His CD, Look Both Ways celebrated the 100th anniversary of the birth of guitarist Django Reinhardt. Featuring 12 original compositions, the recording reached #1 on the Roots Music Review jazz chart.
