Have an event coming up you’re looking to spread the word about? 

Send an email to info@xray.fm to see how we can help!

When emailing please include: 

  1. Any relevant info about the event (dates/times, location, ticket links, info sheets etc.)
  2. What you're looking for from us, preferably in the subject or early in the email.* This could be things like being a media sponsor, paid underwriting packages, inviting us to attend, PSAs* AV services, getting an on-air interview, booking an XRAY DJ, having us be present there, etc.

Timeline: For those new to working with us, without an established event promotion relationship or agreement, we need to receive your submission at least three weeks prior to your event for potential inclusion on our events calendar, and preferably six weeks if you are interested in a radio spot about your event (i.e. underwriting). We are unlikely to consider last minute requests. 

Please Note: We have a very limited capacity and unfortunately cannot accommodate all requests. The clearer your ask and the more obvious of a fit with our programming and/or mission, the more likely we'll prioritize it. We unfortunately cannot respond to every request, but welcome you nudging/following up with us to get it on our radar if it's a good fit and we haven't replied.

*Only nonprofits and/or things benefitting the wider community (such as something like demonstrations, disaster relief, mutual aid campaigns, etc.) are eligible for PSAs typically, with anything else being up to our discretion and typically done on media trade, paid campaigns, or as an act of good will because we feel strongly about something. All scripts need to be approved by us for our FCC compliance standards--even if a recorded file already exists.

All Ages // 10 am Opening // Free Entrance

St John's Bizarre is a uniquely curated celebration that will kick off the summer street fair season in Portland. The Bizarre brings music, crafts, and food to the crowds who traditionally attended the St. Johns Parade. There is a amazing lineup of musicians, artisans, makers, creators, food vendors, community groups, and more. The Bizarre is coordinated by a dedicated group of volunteers, all St. Johns residents who work throughout the year with local businesses and the community to make the event happen.

St John's Story - How great it would be if all those people who came down for the parade had a reason to stay and spend their time getting better acquainted with our historic business district and many shops and restaurants.The goal wasn’t to upstage the Parade, but rather to build on those two hours of fun to squeeze out a whole day’s worth! And almost 20 years later, the Bizarre is recognized citywide as one of the best street festivals in Portland!

Fresh off electric festival debuts at Lollapalooza and All Things Go in late 2025, Caroline amassed 300k monthly listeners and landed a huge feature in the best-selling game 'Dispatch.' Her fan favorite sleeper hit 'Kissing Someone Else' accumulated over 6 million streams after the song was featured in Episode 1 and the game sold over a million copies in its first week. 2025 also brought Caroline the viral collaboration with fellow indie pop artist Maris with 'Give Me A Sign.' The song landed Caroline a feature for the second year in a row on Spotify's 'Best Pop Songs of 2025' and a co-headline tour. Expect a larger-than-life energy to her iridescent make-up, Bowie-esque boot-and-blazer get-ups and ready-to-risk-it-all ballads that are abundant in brutally honest and vulnerable storytelling lyrics

Gus Constantellis (he/him) is a gay, first generation Greek American stand up comedian and writer raised in Brooklyn, whose sharp, fast paced comedy draws from his loud immigrant family, Greek heritage, and raunchy yet relatable dating stories. He has been touring internationally for the past three years and regularly performs at top comedy clubs across the country.  In 2026, Gus expands his storytelling beyond the stage with My Greek Mom's Recipes: She Died. I Wrote This Cookbook, a cookbook inspired by the loss of his larger than life Greek mother. As Gus puts it, "My mom used to say, 'When I die, you're all going to starve.' Instead, she made sure we never would."

Gus is also the co-host of a popular podcast with Christina Mavronos, has  recorded a Comedy Central featuring set, and has written for children's series on Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Netflix, including The Lion Guard, Rainbow Rangers, Abby Hatcher, and Gabby's Dollhouse.

Back by popular demand - It's your zany local vintage vinyl spinster DJ Action Slacks with her inclusive pop-up lezzie bar and dance party - The Jett Set!

This event was established in response to the closure of yet another local lesbian bar a few months ago. Portland likely has one of the highest populations of queer women per capita in the country - Yet, gay lady–centric nightlife remains far less supported than it should be.

We need spaces to gather and we need a variety of them. 

The Jett Set is a vintage vinyl party named for one of the coolest, most dykenamic musicians of all time - Joan Jett.  

DJ Action Slacks hosts & spins with her alter egos: DJ Guilty Pleasure & DJ Obvious Choice, with all three versions of her spinning a variety of vintage vinyl from the 1970s & 1980s, plus a dash of the 1990s. Expect rare dance-floor delights, beloved "cool" classics, & songs you’ll want to sing along to. Funky Soul, Pop, Rock, Funk, Punk, Hip-Hop, Disco, and more!

Whether you’re looking for a joyful night out with friends or hoping to make some new "connections", this event is designed to fill your big gay cup with music, camaraderie, & love. Please come dance, and help spread the word.

Admission: Sliding Scale: $10 - $15 at the door

Made up by Elijah Gibbins-Croft, Oey James, and Ian Robles, Foxtide is a byproduct of being bred by the beach and raised by a DIY house show scene. The SoCal three-piece was formed around garage jam sessions and earned their cult following through the intense vitality of their live shows.

First starting to release music in 2019, it was the band's second EP Visons in 2021 that took them from a hometown secret to a band to watch nationally. Moving into the chapter of their next project, Foxtide is abandoning the idea that they need to create "perfect" music, and simply making what they like to listen to. Tinged with the aloofness of early 2000s rock, while experimenting with the formulas of modern pop, all threads are knotted in the authenticity behind Foxtide's unrelenting love for music.

All Ages // All Weekend


XRAYFM is excited to partner with the Overlook Neighborhood Association for their annual Porchfest in 2026.  

Mark your calendars for July 11th & 12th, 2026, as our Overlook neighborhood transforms its streets into a vibrant, decentralized arts venue for the fifth annual Overlook Porchfest.

At its heart, Porchfest is a grassroots celebration where neighbors generously offer their front porches, driveways, and yards as stages for local musicians. For families, it represents an unparalleled opportunity to connect with neighbors and experience live art in a safe, walkable environment.

This year offers a trifecta of community events. The music festival coincides with the beloved Overlook Yard Sale and Free Share weekend, as well as the Mississippi Avenue Street Fair. Residents can spend the day hunting for yard sale treasures and shopping local street fair vendors before spreading a blanket on a neighbor’s lawn to enjoy an open-air concert.

More information, map, schedule and artist applications can be found at www.https://overlookneighborhood.org/events/porchfest/
