Portlanders love their coffee, their microbrews and most certainly their music. Recently, shows such as Portlandia and Grimm have swept Portland culture into the mainstream. Hovering just outside of the recent spotlight, however, is the music. Unless your personal network includes those individuals who have their finger on Portland’s musical pulse, the music that thrives here remains veritably unrecognized even in the most independent of cities.

Portland Soundcheck creates an opportunity for music enthusiasts here in Portland to catch a fresh glimpse of this rich culture. Through a selection of local music on the cusp, as well as artists from national successes such as "The Voice", "American Idol" and "MTV Real World", Portland Soundcheck offers a taste of the diverse musicians currently playing their talents here in the Rose City.

The Portland Soundcheck showcase shines with homegrown music talent, all local and with strong community ties, all brought together for an evening of amazing music. In one evening you'll be able to tour part of Portland's music scene at one venue. Many artists enthusiastically got involved to share their flair for the Jan 25th event at the iconic Aladdin Theater.
