Behold! This “Texture” showcase brings together some of the super-smooth and soulful sounds being made in this creative hotbed we call the Pacific Northwest. Hip-hop/funk/jazz five-piece Sus—whose 2018 EP See U Soon is giving me the Roots vibes—makes the trip down from Seattle for the gig, along with indie-soul quintet Hoshin. And because every Portland R&B concert requires it, Rose City native Blossom joins the lineup to perform new tracks from her 2019 sophomore album Maybe (and hopefully some older cuts like the reggae-inspired “Black Magic Woman”). by Jenni Moore
