Shoegaze, post-punk, darkwave + dreampop with Bridal Veil, Ten Million Lights, Waking Sophia and DJ Wednesday spinning all night.

DJ WEDNESDAY spinning tunes before, during and after the show. An
evening filled with post-punk, shoegaze, darkwave and dreampop.

BRIDAL VEIL is an American four-piece band from Portland, Oregon
inspired by the emotional pangs of the 90’s — the last era to know
what life was like without a cell phone in every hand.
Led by guitarist/soprano/flutist Emily Overstreet, the band weaves
between ethereal dreampop similar to Cocteau Twins and heavy walls of
noise akin to My Bloody Valentine.. Jar evident, backed by desolate
doom guitar and bass, as well as baritone vocals

TEN MILLION LIGHTS are a psych/post-punk/shoegaze band from Portland,
OR. The group crafts epic psychedelic soundscapes transporting you
through fuzzed-up guitars, hypnotic rhythms, and blissed-out vocals.
Their love of beautiful melodies and wistful harmonies evokes a sense
of nostalgia and catharsis.

WAKING SOPHIA is a shoegaze/dreampop band from rainy Portland, Oregon
consisting of Duncan Calver (vocals, guitar), Terry Barefield
(guitar), Tim Eurich (bass), Matthew Flook (keyboards) and Adam Bayer
(drums)

A leader in the alternative jazz scene, alto saxophonist and composer David Binney is currently touring a concert program with the outstanding and widely popular drummer and bandleader Louis Cole, and bassist Pera Krstajic,

Acclaimed as a considerable and highly individual compositional talent, saxophonist David Binney is one of the most prolific jazz musicians on the scene today. Winning praise from critics and colleagues alike, David was recently singled out by Jazz Times as one of a handful of "players who have created an alternative jazz-scene... all of whom are playing adventurous, original music."

São Paulo natives, Johnny Franco and his Real Brother Dom, are shaking up the Portland, Oregon music scene with their charm and charisma. Serving up 5 day weekends every week, no stage is too big or too small for their iconic and hilarious brand of entertainment - including but not limited to songs. 

The duo was signed by producer Sterling Fox (Lana Del Rey, Elle King) on his label Blanket Fort in 2020. Johnny's debut EP "Experience Report #1" feels timeless with singles like "Immediate Love". It combines sophisticated lyricism and original vocal stylings with a unique jangly Brazilian beat. The duo was featured on Treefort 2022, Jam in the Van 2022, and Pickathon 2024. Their humorous delivery of crowd-favorite originals like "Ones and Pennies" and "Cucumber Vodka" along with a unique interpretation of the classics produce an irresistible urge to move, to laugh, to cry and to applaud.

7 Deadly Sins: CHURCH is a seven-part interactive live storytelling series that explores each of the Seven Deadly Sins, what they mean in this particular moment in history, and how we might choose to think of them in these turbulent times.

Despite being an entirely secular show created by a group of outlandishly sinful heathens, 7 Deadly Sins: CHURCH will have all the trappings and spirit of an old-school gospel tent revival—albeit with less religion and more access to cocktails. (Also, if anyone is somehow miraculously healed of anything, it will surprise us way more than you.)

In this first show, Part One, the stories will focus on the Sin Of Wrath, a sin which—let’s be honest—feels pretty 2025.

Wrath is the most frightening of all the sins, the one most of us associate with violence, fury, or revenge. But wrath can also be a call for justice. Wrath is John Brown. Wrath is Stonewall, and Black Lives Matter, and 438 coordinated women’s “p**sy-hat” marches in 2017. Wrath, in other words, is like all of the other deadly sins: for better and worse, it is part of what makes us human.

Plus there will be laughs! And music! And poetry! And readings! And singalongs! And still more laughs! Because more than anything, 7 Deadly Sins: CHURCH is going to be a kick-ass, howl-at-the-moon evening of fun as we all celebrate what it means to be human, and keep the darkness at bay just one night longer.

The CHURCH series is a collaborative production conceived, created, and directed by writer, journalist, and 7 Deadly Sins Executive & Artistic Director R. Tod Kelly; actor, writer, and filmmaker Travis Abels; storyteller and stand-up comedian Star Dell’Era; PICA performance artist and creator of Life Coach Andrew Dickson; comedian, host, and story coach Meg Ferrill; and longtime teacher and raconteur Pat McCreery, with the help of Wrath’s Musical Director John Shipe and Art & Media Director Mark Noland.

This Fall, The Moth Mainstage is coming to Portland for one unforgettable evening. Five storytellers will explore the theme of “DARING,” with true and personal stories told live and without notes. Stories of bold choices, audacious proclamations, and moments that required everything they had. Expect to laugh, gasp, cry, and maybe even cover your eyes.

Experience The Moth Mainstage live as storytellers take risks, explore human truths, and challenge audiences to consider what it means to be daring.

The Moth Mainstage shows are renowned for the great range of human experience they showcase. Each show starts with a theme, and the storytellers explore it, often in unexpected ways. Since each story is true and every voice authentic, the shows dance between documentary and theater, creating a unique, intimate, and often enlightening experience for the audience.
