Changes: The Future of Vortex

During these tumultuous times for the music industry and our country, we took the summer off from printing a new issue. Passing the mic, Vortex will return this fall with guest editor Mac Smiff leading the charge.
Save Our Stages

We need numerous independently owned venues and festivals to sustain our robust music ecosystem in Oregon. As the first to close but the last to reopen, these incubators of artistry are vital to our culture and economy but they will not survive without our support. Take action today!
Support Local, #PDXmusic-Loving Businesses

Portland's vibrant music scene is supported by local businesses that value music in our community. Check out these supporters of Vortex Music Magazine that play a vital role in encouraging, enabling and cultivating the music that circulates through the veins and culture of our city.
