FRIDAY, JUNE 5
VISUAL ART—With an incredible lineup of emerging Native American artists, new indigenous art/music/film fest One Flaming Arrow promises to be one of the best art fests of the summer. Tonight, artist Natalie Ball and zinester Grace Rosario Perkins’ show at Reading Frenzy opens to the public—festival wristband not required. MEGAN BURBANK
Reading Frenzy, 3628 N Mississippi, 6-9 pm, FREE; fest schedule at oneflamingarrow.com, through June 14
MUSIC—Borrow your tween’s acid-washed jeans (they’re cool again, apparently), put on your metal-studded bustier, and tease your hair high for Great White, Slaughter, and Vixen at the Rose Festival. The law of probability (and the fact that the show’s outside) means you probably won’t die in a fiery deathtrap if you go. SHELBY R. KING
Tom McCall Waterfront Park, 1020 SW Naito, 7:30 pm, $25-30, all ages
MUSIC—If you’ve been to one hopping show at the Spare Room, you sure as hell know you want to go back to every single one. Tonight the fun-lovin’ cowpokes in the Caleb Klauder Country Band aim to turn the charming former bowling alley into a rootin’ tootin’ honky-tonk bar. Dust off your dancing boots. COURTNEY FERGUSON
w/the Earnest Lovers; the Spare Room, 4830 NE 42nd, 9 pm, $12
SATURDAY, JUNE 6
MUSIC—Some of Portland’s best musicians—including Caleb Klauder, Reeb Willms, Thin Rail, the Earnest Lovers, and more—pay homage to Dolly Parton in a fun night of performances. The proceeds of the 10th annual Hoot Night show benefit the Siren Nation Festival, a November arts celebration featuring original work from women. SHELBY R. KING
Alberta Rose Theatre, 3000 NE Alberta, 8 pm, $12-15, all ages
MUSIC—Performances from Portland’s School of Rock are always inspiring fun, but this time they’re really upping the ante with this performance titled “R&B Royalty.” Noting that rock ‘n’ roll sprang from the loins of R&B, the kids will be performing music from such soul greats as Prince, Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson, and more. Don’t miss this one! WM. STEVEN HUMPHREY
Star Theater, 13 NW 6th, 2 pm, $12-15, all ages
SUNDAY, JUNE 7
COMEDY—Get ready for a match made in beardy joke heaven: Tonight, delightfully scruffy Sean Patton headlines Trevor Thorpe’s lumberjack-inspired comedy showcase, Hella Feller (get it? Like FELLING TREES!), where he’ll probably make fun of swole dudes who pound water and grunt at the gym (imposter lumberjacks). Don’t forget your red-checkered shirt! MEGAN BURBANK
w/Bryan Cook; Doug Fir, 830 E Burnside, 8 pm, $12
MUSIC—The Domestics delivered one of the finest Portland debuts last year with their grabby, catchy self-titled album, based around the comfortably edgy songwriting of Michael Finn and Leo London. The album’s being re-released by Tender Loving Empire in July, and tonight the fully functional live outfit will tantalize you with tunes from it. NED LANNAMANN
w/Grand Lake Islands, Beach Fire; Rontoms, 600 E Burnside, 9 pm, FREE
