On Sunday afternoons, the Hostel Café in Portland, Oregon provides a friendly setting for this TrailJams Irish traditional tune session. TrailJams is a music community focused on making acoustic music together outside for the enjoyment of the musicians and of people passing by. The cozy café makes a great place to keep the music going in the winter. In better weather, the tune playing moves out to the café’s courtyard. Guests of the Hostel Café and the adjoining Northwest Portland Hostel are likely to settle at one of the nearby tables to enjoy the music.

COVID Policy:
Please be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 if you are joining this session — that is a request, not a requirement.

Experience the electrifying global sound of Seffarine, where centuries-old musical traditions collide to spark something entirely new, $35 advance/$40 day of show ($5 off on early bird tickets before July 25). Led by Moroccan-born vocalist Lamiae Naki and flamenco guitarist and oud player Nat Hulskamp, the group blends the sounds of North Africa, the Iberian Peninsula, and West Africa into something fresh, rhythmic, and deeply rooted. The band’s international lineup features standout musicians from Iran, Spain, and the U.S., weaving together the delicate lines of the kamancheh (Persian spike-fiddle), gritty bass grooves, and the percussive fire of flamenco dance.

For just $6 per person, plus a 42-cent processing fee (under 1y.o. free), you can enjoy concerts from 10:30-11:30 am every third Saturday of the month in room 7 of Beaverton’s Southminster Presbyterian Church. We hope to see you and your young ones there!
