Tristan Damron

Tristan Damron plays the Alberta Street Pub on Friday, October 16, starting at 6 PM. It's a folk-rock set, and he's the only name on the bill.

Damron has been performing since 2023, and he's a relatively recent arrival to the city. Before moving here, he was based in Redlands, California, where he was a cornerstone of the Inland Empire music scene and a regular on the open mic circuit. Now he lives and gigs in Portland, so this is one of those local nights you can catch without leaving the neighborhood.

He writes and performs with a specific intention: that his music helps audiences feel lighter and gentler. It's a folk-rock sound, and he's the one writing and performing it. The show is all-ages, though parents bringing young children should keep in mind that the music may contain mature themes.

It's a straightforward evening—one artist, one stage. The set starts at 6 PM at the Alberta Street Pub, 1036 NE Alberta St, and it's $5 at the door.
