Portland and Oregon's vibrant music scene is supported by a bevy of local businesses and artists who value music in our community. The following supporters of Vortex Music Magazine play a vital role in encouraging, enabling and cultivating the music that circulates through the veins and culture of our city so please show them some love and support them back.

Band of Comerados
West Coast fans of progressive bluegrass tinged with Americana and '70s folk rock have been aware of Portland's Band of Comerados for years, thanks to the group's relentless touring and spirited live shows. Now, with the release of Kindsight, they seem poised to break out way beyond the Left Coast. This collection of rootsy, grooving, acoustic tunes features solid songcraft, great singing and stellar musicianship. Out now, get Kindsight here.
Bart Budwig
While hunkered down at his apartment in the OK Theatre in April 2020, Eastern Oregon troubadour Bart Budwig decided to learn a batch of his favorite songs written by John Prine, Merle Haggard, Woody Guthrie and others. Guitar player Ben Walden joined Budwig in rearranging three of his original tunes to fit into the bunch, creating a sparse but warm folk album. The eight tracks were recorded with one microphone, two acoustic guitars and three vocals. For fans of John Prine, The Band, Kenny Rogers, Bobby Charles, Woody Guthrie and Merle Haggard, Itll Al Be OK is out now—buy or stream it here.

Crystal Ballroom
Celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2014, the Crystal Ballroom is indisputably the centerpiece of the McMenamins music empire in Oregon. Perched on the third floor of an old brick building originally called Cotillion Hall, the historic structure occupies prime real estate on West Burnside, while upstairs the spring-loaded ballroom floor bouncingly hosts thousands of concertgoers at 150 gigs annually. A litany of genre-spanning legends have shared this stage, from Little Richard and James Brown, to the Grateful Dead and Buffalo Springfield, to the OG funkateer George Clinton and surf pioneer Dick Dale, to contemporary acts like blues-tinged rockers The Black Keys and electronic dance purveyor Pretty Lights as well as homegrown Portland talent aplenty, including The Decemberists, Sleater-Kinney, Pink Martini and The Dandy Warhols. Although the air may be thick with sweaty bodies on a rowdy show night, take a moment to admire your surroundings: Ornate glass chandeliers hang overhead, hand-painted murals adorn the walls, and carved, cackling jokers top the colonnades. And when the floating dance floor starts to quiver, just go with the flow and pogo in unison to the beat because the floor will respond like a hardwood trampoline. If the lights come up too soon, grab a pint of house-brewed beer in Lola’s Room, the dance floor below the ballroom, before continuing on to the ground floor Ringlers (named for first owner of the ballroom) for some pub grub—or just stumble a few steps further east to the subterranean speakeasy of Al's Den. On any night, anything can happen!

Half Shadow
Dream Weather Its Electric Song, the latest release from Portland’s enigmatic Half Shadow, resonates as a dream swelling into daylight vision, wrapping listeners in dark sparkling hues and mossy undergrowth.
