Three Trees concerts take place in the very special backyard of Danni Lee and Caroline Shaw. They are intimate and magical and represent everything we love about living in Portland, OR. We encourage guests to bring their own beverages, blankets, & chairs. We have a few chairs available, but if you know you will be unhappy sitting on the grass, you may want to bring your own. Our concerts are all ages, but all attendees must be ticket-holders. Due to limited space, there will unlikely be tickets available at the door. We love dogs--we really do--but please leave furry friends at home. Tix are limited and available HERE.

Wayfinder Troutdale
Thursday, July 17th
6-9pm
Join Courtney and her trio from 6-9pm. Plenty of delicious food and friends at this awesome Troutdale spot! Wayfinder Beer, based in Portland Oregon, is a lager-centric brewery that combines old and new school lager techniques to push the envelope of what lager can be. The founders of Wayfinder, lager fanatics themselves and proselytizers of cool fermentation, installed a dedicated decoction vessel to achieve malt complexities otherwise unattainable. The beers are a mix of tradition and science, a blending of ancient brewing tactics, newer Narziß-style German precision, and the swagger of American Craft. Although we are rewriting the definition of lager for the next generation of craft beer enthusiasts, we are bringing with it the traditions of Europe and America’s favorite beer.
