Rich Compton

Rich Compton plays the Lents International Farmers Market on Sunday, October 18, from 1 PM to 3 PM. He'll be performing his own original soulful roots-based folk music, so it's a set of his own songs rather than covers.

The market itself is at 5718 SE 92nd Ave in southeast Portland, and it's built around bringing fresh, local, and culturally relevant produce to the Lents community. The live music is a free feature of the market, which means you can combine a casual concert with shopping for locally grown food and culturally diverse ingredients. It's the kind of Sunday afternoon where you can wander between the stalls and stop to listen whenever you feel like it, rather than having to commit to a seated show.

Because it's part of the market, the setting is relaxed and low-cost, making it a good Sunday activity for adults, families, and anyone looking for a neighborhood-scale cultural experience. You can come for the music and stay for the produce, or vice versa. The music runs from 1 PM to 3 PM, and admission is free.
