The 1905's Upcoming Shows

TICKETS $25 | ALL AGES John Nastos (Alto Sax) Greg Goebel (Piano) Garrett Baxter (Bass) Christopher Brown (Drums) Upon Christopher Brown’s return to Portland in 2012—which was preceded by 13 years in the NYC area, as well as four years in the Marine Corps—the assemblage of his quartet quickly became one of note. And by 2017, his quartet had officially become the most visible Jazz group in all of Portland, with a steady weekly cadence of 3-4 performances, which was maintained until the start of the global pandemic. And even then, it took them no more than three months to return to a similar weekly performance schedule. Since 2017, the quartet has created a home for themselves at the famed 1905 Jazz club in Portland. And through their regular performances, they’ve not only helped to raise the profile of the venue to one of the world’s top 100 Jazz clubs according to Down Beat Magazine, but of Jazz itself in Portland. So in a market where it's difficult to maintain group's with the same personnel, it's arguable that the Christopher Brown Quartet succeeds as being one of (if not the best) Jazz "group" in all of Portland, which in turn gives them such a powerful, polished, and identifiable sound that can now be heard on his debut album "Sole City" on the PJCE record label.

TICKETS $35 | ALL AGES Stefan Mahendra - vocals, piano Luke Broadbent - guitar TBD Fresh off the road after opening for Joss Stone, The Stylistics, and Jarrod Lawson - British Soul/R&B artist Stefan Mahendra brings his debut headline US tour to The 1905 for one unforgettable night, celebrating the release of his new EP Home Sweet Home. Born to a Sri Lankan father and German mother, Stefan Mahendra’s musical journey began at a piano bench in South London, shaped by early classical training under his mother’s guidance. It wasn't long before he was drawn toward jazz, soul and R&B, immersing himself in the music of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway and D’Angelo. Their influence runs deeply through Stefan’s music.
