GRAVES is the longtime recording project of Portland’s Greg Olin, a quietly influential figure in the Pacific Northwest underground. What began as a lo-fi solo endeavor in the early 2000s has since grown into a full-band expression of Olin’s hushed, emotionally resonant songwriting.
Now releasing music through the esteemed Perpetual Doom Records, GRAVES blends melancholic slowcore, homespun folk, and tape-warped experimental pop into something uniquely intimate and enduring. Olin’s songs—gentle, haunting, and deceptively simple—feel like secrets passed between friends.
This show celebrates the release of the new GRAVES album with a rare full-band performance. Come join us for a night of soft glow and slow burns from one of Portland’s most beloved cult fixtures.
Richard Trips is the solo moniker of California-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Evan Way. Hailing from the wilds of Big Sur, Tripps crafts raw, dream-warped ballads from a tent cabin by the river, channeling the spirit of West Coast outsider folk with a punk heart. His songs sound like transmissions from a parallel reality — warped tape hiss, haunted Americana, and lo-fi confessions stitched together with intuitive, emotional logic. Both vulnerable and visionary, Tripps brings a kind of cosmic campfire energy to the stage: fragile, weird, and unforgettable. Think early Beck if he grew up on K Records and old Neil Young bootlegs.
Keith Damron is a Portland-based singer-songwriter and hospitality professional by day, bedroom musician by night. Blending introspective lyricism and DIY charm, he shares intimate, low-fi demos on SoundCloud that lean into raw storytelling and emotional resonance. With roots in both California and Oregon, Keith’s laid-back yet compelling presence adds a heartfelt layer to the night’s lineup.
