Hear Live Music at the Mill this Summer

Tuesday nights are all about the tunes as Willamette Heritage Center, in partnership with Lively at the Mill (Lively Station’s new location), launches Music at the Mill, a bi-weekly music series. 

Bring your friends, grab a seat on the lawn, and settle in for an evening of music, food, and summer vibes. Held every other Tuesday throughout the season, the series will feature a rotating lineup of bands. Whether you are coming to hear a local favorite or discover something new, this series is the perfect excuse to relax, connect, and enjoy a night outdoors.

Here’s what’s on the schedule —

• June 2 — Feel Good YaYas are Kathy Vos, Emily Outland, and Dennis McIntire playing a unique and possibly bizarre assortment of songs, from country to jazz. 
• June 16 — Rich Swanger is a reflective, wry American folk storyteller, weaving myth, memory, and musical lineage into songs that explore the tension between control, fate, and revelation. 
• June 30 — Jake & the Hill People combine profound lyrics with high-energy performance to transform any venue into a 1970’s Honky Tonk, bringing back the true meaning of country music.
• July 14 — THIS The Funk brings unbridled energy and infectious funk to the stage. Try not to dance, we dare you. 
• July 28 — Dave’s Killer Band is a four-piece playing a smooth-to-funky blend of sophisticated jazz fusion, R&B, Yacht Rock, world grooves, and tastefully selected classics. 
• August 11 — Water Street Project began as a group of guitar students jamming. Add a bassist and drummer, and the group transformed into a band playing classic rock crowd favorites.
• August 25 — PDX Preachers plays the blues with a high-energy style of harmonica.
• September 8 — Phoenix is a singer-songwriter duo who play folk and Americana and proclaim, “We simply play music that speaks to us.”

Food and beverages will be available for purchase from Lively at the Mill.
