Portland’5 Centers for the Arts and ArtBar & Bistro continues the 10^th year of  its popular summer concert series, Music on Main Street, with a performance of Joey Porter’s Tribute to Stevie Wonder.  The free show will take place on Wednesday, July 15, 2015 at 5 PM. The performance will be held in downtown Portland on Main Street, between Southwest Broadway & Park Ave., next to Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall.

Joey Porter, originally known as the front man for the acclaimed Portland jazz/funk group, Porterhouse, now leads a new group of six musicians in covering popular 60s and 70s soul artists. Following the initial success of the tribute group’s sold-out Herbie Hancock and the Headhunter cover shows, they began performing some of the era’s greatest hits by Meters, Sly Stone, and more recently Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder.

Portland’5 Centers for the Arts takes advantage of the lovely summer weather to present Music on Main Street, our free outdoor concert series featuring popular local and regional musicians performing a diverse collection of music.

All Music on Main Street concerts are FREE, all ages, and open to the public. Concerts are held in downtown Portland on Southwest Main Street, between Broadway & Park Ave., next to Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall. Each concert begins at 5 p.m. and ends at 7 p.m.  Tickets are not required for entry. Food and delicious libations will be served by ArtBar & Bistro starting at 4:30 p.m.
