What could be better than a brand new single, from a favorite Portland artist? How about one named after our very own city! Pancake Breakfast released this single, “PortlandtownUSA,” just a couple weeks ago and have been hearing praise from all corners already. The Oregonian called PortlandtownUSA a “100-percent irony-free ode to Portland.” A song you’ll love, about the city you’ll love, from a band you love. Pancake Breakfast is on the road and will be back in town later this month - check out their website for current dates!

S O N G > Laurel Brauns -"Doldrums "
This song by Laurel Brauns (also known as part of the band Sweet Harlots) comes from her 2011 solo album “House of Snow.” The Portland Mercury called it “a beauteous solo record…destined to become an evergreen.” We agree, and hope you’ll listen to this excerpt from the record and find her just as enchanting as we do! And don’t miss Laurel’s next local performance, at the Edgefield Winery on February 11th.

On Community Day, there will be free refreshments, special one-day deals, live music, and a variety of unique events at Music Millennium. Monday, February 6 will be the next Community Day and will include the Songwriters’ Circle at 7:00 PM.
Performances by the following musicians:
Elaine Romanelli's music melds lyrical melodies, intimate storytelling, catchy pop choruses, wry humor, and a hint of Celtic lilt...Alexa Wiley plays in local bars and coffee houses throughout the Pacific Northwest, Colorado, Massachusetts, Washington, California and elsewhere...and Jack McMahonis a performing songwriter as well host and organizer of the Music Millennium Songwriters’ Showcase.
