The House of Sarcasm #30 – History of Portland

Young people performing at a Portland School of Rock event

There’s a cool fundraiser show happening tonight: School of Rock Portland & Prowus Present: History of Portland

So I decided to play some music from the bands whose music will be featured in the student performances.

Info from the event page:
