Concert by progressive folk singer-songwriter Angela Autumn at Polaris Hall.
Angela Autumn plays Polaris Hall on Friday, January 22, 2027, starting at 8 PM. She's a guitarist and songwriter from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and the Portland date is part of a tour that covers 54 shows across 44 cities.
Autumn works at the intersection of contemporary folk and traditional music. She takes dark thematic material from old country songs and infuses it with an indie sensibility, a way of writing that keeps the roots of the tradition while pulling it into something that sounds like now. It's folk that doesn't shy away from the heavier side of things.
She's been on the radar for a few years. In 2018, NPR's Pilar Fitzgerald reviewed her Rascal, describing it as "snippets from a diary entry, filled with youthful metaphors and meditations on loneliness & love." That's a good place to start if you're not familiar with her work: the songs lean toward the personal and the interior, and the lyrics tend to dwell on the quieter, more solitary moments of life. The Portland show is a solo date, so it's just her and her guitar on stage.
