Vortex Music Magazine is the print and online music publication for Portland, Oregon.
Our goal is to provide a high-quality magazine and online information source covering the wealth of local talent and the distinctive music community in Portland. In all that we do, it is our mission to make the Portland music scene more successful by making it more accessible.
Print Edition
A high-quality print publication published four times per year focused on thoughtfully exploring Portland’s music scene, covering aspects and angles often untouched by media outlets that simply skim the surface of the music community. We’re not just about what’s hot at this very moment—we aim to tell the stories of the culture, creators, educators and businesses that support our thriving music scene.
Online Presence
An online outlet, including an active social media presence, vrtxmag.com delves as deep as the magazine while allowing for immediate access to quick bits of information and media. Designed to be visually stimulating and engaging, Vortex Music Magazine’s digital presence is heavily focused on building a strong readership through engagement in long-form stories and interviews as well as multimedia content and upcoming events so readers can instantly find out what’s happening right now.
