This is a free community concert inside The Rocky Butte tunnel.  The acoustics of the tunnel will provide a memorable musical experience with a chance to gather as friends inside an urban volcano!  PBOT permitted that the street be closed to vehicles so everyone could safely walk, bike and picnic in this architectural wonder.  Also, The Bird Alliance of Oregon will join us with a tabling to share about their future new home at the base of Rocky Butte along 82nd Ave.
