Indie Shows This Month in Portland

Jenna Raine’s songs brim with hope, heart and wide-eyed wonder. The Dallas-born singer-songwriter turns life’s little lessons, moments of bliss and unforgettable memories into the kind of pop music you’ve got to sing with the windows down. She’s tallied more than 466M total streams to date, fueled by early hits like “It Is What It Is” and her breakout smash “see you later (ten years).” The viral favorite, which exploded on TikTok and helped earn her a deal with Warner Records, first appeared on her major-label debut EP see you later — a project filled with hope, growth and a bright-side view of heartbreak. Jenna’s breakthrough success has included performances at the 2023 MTV VMAs Block Party, recognition from Rolling Stone, Billboard and V Magazine, as well as two Girls’ Life Magazine covers. She has collaborated with artists including Joshua Bassett (“Don’t Let Me Down”) and Aodhán King (“Still Worthy”), and supported David Kushner on his European tour earlier this year — all while continuing to expand her sound with her Only Started Growing EP featuring the viral hit “Roses.” Jenna closed out 2025 with the release of “Just 15” and “Talk of the Town,” alongside supporting Avery Anna on her The Let Go Letters Tour. Jenna returns with new music this year, unveiling “It Takes A Village,” and “What Would I Say,” out now. Her new music once again showcases her signature blend of heartfelt storytelling, unforgettable hooks and resilient optimism as she looks ahead to her debut album, Jeans, Boys & Jesus, set to arrive August 14. With unstoppable momentum and a luminous outlook, Jenna Raine is poised to bloom into the new year — one loved-up ballad at a time.

English born singer/songwriter Lloyd Cole ‘s cuttingly literate lyrics, unabashedly romantic stance, and knack for melodies both simple and ornate form a solid base for his frequent genre shifts. Starting off fronting the Commotions and delivering some of the ’80s most iconic jangle pop songs — like “Perfect Skin” and the quintessential Rattlesnakes album — Cole soon undertook a solo career that didn’t stay in one place for long. He went from straightforward rock on 1990’s self-titled album to lushly orchestrated pop on 1991’s Don’t Get Weird on Me Babe ; he swerved into jangle pop on 1995’s Love Story , then he settled down to make country rock-inspired music for a time before delving into electronics for a record of duets with Hans-Joachim Roedelius on 2013’s Selected Studies, Vol. 1 . Albums made in the wake of this newfound interest, like 2023’s On Pain , merged the warm songcraft of earlier work with the colder textures of electronic pop.

Additional Info Soul'd Out Presents: Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek with Thee Marloes. Doors: 7:00pm Show: 8:00pm Ages 21+. https://deryayildirimgrupsimsek.com/ https://www.instagram.com/theemarloes Derya Yıldırım is singing the song her grandmother used to sing — an old Anatolian folk standard called “Hop Bico”, which roughly translates as ”Hop Around Bico”. But the version Derya’s grandmother sang was different — she’d put her own slant on it. And Derya’s is different still — brought into the 21st century with a slow psychedelic twist and her own hypnotic vocals. This is by design. Derya insists that if you’re going to play an old folk song then you have to contribute something new, “otherwise you might as well just put the old record on.” Born in Hamburg, Germany to Turkish parents, she grew up influenced by her family’s Anatolian background and the myriad of cultures in the city. Derya’s musical roots started at home playing folk music with family members. Her father pushed her to learn various instruments, beginning with the bağlama, a seven stringed Turkish lute. Then she picked up the guitar, piano, and saxophone. Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek with Thee Marloes
