Description

An inspiring night of Music, Connection, and Belonging at Portland's longest running open mic for original music! LIVE IN THE PARK! If you were at our first live event last month, you KNOW how incredible it was! The good news is we are going to be meeting in person again ALL SUMMER! The Songwriter Soiree and Heartbeat Silent Disco present a physically distant (yet very connected) soiree using the format of the Silent Disco. LOCATION: Alberta Park (Near the tennis courts), Portland, OR. **HOW IT WORKS** All performers will play LIVE into mics in front of the audience. The sound will be broadcast into special headphones which are included in your ticket. You will be able to listen with full attention to the music, while keeping a safe distance your their pod or alone. Another benefit of headphones is that it allows for full focus on the music without the aural distraction of outside noise from a park. Win-Win! Bring a blanket (and jackets for the night!) for you and your pod so you can keep a safe distance from others while enjoying the music. Heartbeat Headphones are noise canceling and offer personalized volume control so you can hear the music as if you are in the front row no matter where you are in the park. You must have a Valid Drivers License or ID to check out a pair of Headphones.
