Portland Music Insider — Celebrating the Artists Who Make Our Music Scene

Portland Music Insider is dedicated to celebrating, documenting, and promoting the musicians and artists who have helped shape the sound of Portland, Oregon, and the greater Pacific Northwest.

Through in-depth interviews, live performances, special events, and original programming, Portland Music Insider gives artists an opportunity to tell their stories in their own words. We go beyond the music to explore the people, experiences, friendships, venues, and communities behind the songs.

Our growing collection of interviews features some of the remarkable artists who have contributed to Portland’s musical history, including Soul Vaccination, Ellen Whyte, Ben Rice, and many others. These conversations help preserve the stories behind the music while introducing these artists and their work to new audiences.

And we’re just getting started.

More interviews, performances, and special features are coming soon, including our upcoming coverage of acclaimed Oregon singer-songwriter Joni Harms, along with additional musicians and bands whose stories deserve to be heard and preserved.

Portland Music Insider believes that our local music history is worth celebrating. Whether we’re sitting down with an artist for an extended conversation, capturing a live performance, revisiting an important chapter of Portland music history, or introducing listeners to someone they may not have discovered yet, our mission remains the same: support the artists, preserve their stories, and keep Portland’s music alive for generations to come.

More Interviews. More Artists. More Portland Music.
