THE EXPERIENCE

This St. Patrick’s Day we celebrate the legacy of two powerful Irish musicians: Sinéad O’Connor & Shane MacGowan (of The Pogues). Grab a whiskey from the bar and (metaphorically) pour one out for these two trailblazers. Local Portland arts and culture journalist Robert Ham will introduce both shows with his knowledge of the artists and their work. Crock of Gold at 4PM; Nothing Compares at 7PM. Tickets sold separately.
