OHMA weaves a fusion of acoustic classical, folk, cosmic jazz, and electronic textures, sparkled with elemental nature sounds. In 2022, OHMA released their acclaimed debut album, Between All Things, and toured the North America supporting FKJ. The duo has also performed extensively on the west coast, including the Earshot Jazz Festival in Seattle, and internationally in London, Amsterdam, Mexico City, and Japan performing on Mt. Fuji. Their second offering On Loving Earth (2024), shares intimate moments with nature, as the sounds were captured acoustically in the mountains of Altadena. Combined, the two instrumentalists play guitar, bass, piano, flute, saxophone, bass clarinet, clarinet, accordion, synthesizers, vocals, and more. Together they create unique sonic landscapes that inspires all to connect with the world around them.

Down in the Delta with Yella P and Ms Vee

Fri, Jul 03

TICKETS $40 | ALL AGES

Harp/Guitar Extraordinaire Yella P joins Portland's Bad girl of the Blues, Ms Vee and a Badass Band!

Damion “Yella P” Pearson is a Memphis-born harmonica virtuoso, multi-instrumentalist, and educator whose sound blends blues, soul, jazz, funk, and hip-hop, shaped by influences ranging from Marvin Gaye, John Coltrane, Stevie Wonder, Billie Holiday, and George Clinton to Southern rap icons like 8Ball & MJG and Playa Fly.

Equally at home playing gospel in a Baptist church, gritty Southern soul in a Mississippi juke joint, or hip-hop on an underground stage, Yella P is known for his rare versatility and deep cultural range. Self-taught from age 13, he honed his craft busking on Beale Street alongside blues legend ‘Big Jerry’ Parnell before earning a Music Education degree from Tennessee State University as a member of the renowned Aristocrat of Bands.

A fixture in the Memphis music scene, he has collaborated and shared stages with artists including Eric Gales, The Bar-Kays, Kirk Whalum, Eddie Floyd, Bobby Rush, and Robert Finley, and co-founded the award-winning duo Memphissippi Sounds with Cam Kimbrough—whose debut album Welcome to the Land charted internationally and fueled tours across the U.S., Europe, and Canada. Now fully dedicated to his art, Yella P continues to release new music while delivering powerful, genre-bending performances that honor tradition and boldly push it forward.

Ms. Vee Singer, Musician, Writer, and Comedienne; 2023 Muddy Awards Nominee for Best Female Vocalist, 2021 Band & 2019 Solo Granite State Blues Challenge Winner & International Blues Challenge Semifinalist.

Ms Vee's style of Soul Blues is infused with black southern gospel and a lot of soul! In 2018, Ms Vee launched her own music project, founding Ms Vee and a Badass Band.

Hailing from Arkansas by way of Memphis Tennessee, the award-winning Ms Vee brings powerhouse vocals and a razor sharp wit to every show.In January 2023, Ms Vee launched a Pacific Northwest configuration of Ms Vee and a Badass Band. Backed by some of the most accomplished musicians in Portland, including Chance Hayden, Jake Koprowski, Terrell "Peanut" Reed, and Ron Solomon, Ms Vee and her Badass Band has been rocking houses since their 2022 debut.

Behind The Scene with The Christopher Brown Quartet

Sun, Jul 05

++ PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS EVENT IS FOCUSED ON EDUCATION - PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION ++ In an effort to create meaningful culture building moments within a Jazz context for teenage musicians (as well as band instructors), drummer/bandleader Christopher Brown will host an ongoing series entitled “Behind the Scene” with his quartet. And what will separate this event from any other like it is that it’ll combine the Jam session, concert, and clinic experience into a collection of transformative moments for all involved. On the 1st Sunday of each month Christopher teams up with Montavilla Jazz to provide our city with an invaluable Jazz workshop that’s designed to adequately prepare young musicians for the most competitive musical environments in the world (namely NYC). So for the cost of a trip to Starbucks, this event provides: • 30 min concert by Christopher’s quartet. • One hour Q & A with the quartet. • 30 min food, beverage, and mingling break. • One hour of interactive music mentoring with members of Christopher’s quartet. • Access to the quartet’s extended network. **THERE IS NO FOOD OR DRINK SERVED AT THIS EVENT (outside food and drinks are permitted)**
