On Thursday, April 14th we teamed up with Eyes & Edge and returned back to Portland for our 2nd installment of Thanks For The Invite Portland (#TFTIPDX) held at Holocene. The doors opened up a little after 8PM with opening DJ sets by Desirable D (Long Beach) and the homie Quaz (Portland). Our guest were greeted with a free beer provided by our sponsor, Pabst Blue Ribbon. By 10 o’clock the South Florida songstress, Venus Amor opened up the night with a intimate performance, and blessed the people of Portland with her amazing voice. After Venuses performance Huneycut (Seattle) jumped on the decks and had everyone mad lit lol, playing your favorite jamz from High School to all the new shit from Kanye, RiRi, to Future and Drake.
Portland’s own Donte Thomas did his thing and held it down for his city. Soulection artist, Abjo, brought future sounds and played us a ton of unreleased new music and that had everyone dancing. The amazing futuristic Soul and R&B singer, Tiffany Gouche graced the people of Portland with her debut performance. She amazed the crowd with her vocals and great stage presence. Her voice sounds just like it sounds on record! The Inglewood native performed songs off her Pillow Talk EP like “On The Up” “Red Rum Melody” (on of our favorites!) and “Ready 2 Go”.
The night was filled with vibes and good times. Were glad everyone enjoyed themselves and appreciated the music! If you missed out don’t worry we’ll be back again in July! Check out the photos below.
