FREE TICKETS THURSDAY: Enter to Win Free Tix to See Shinyribs, Alain Johannes, GAYCDC, and MORE!
Briefly

The Mercury is giving away free tickets to various concerts and events in Portland as a token of appreciation to its readership. Upcoming performances include the genre-defying Austin-based band Shinyribs, the Alain Johannes Band's first U.S. rock tour in years, and Tab Benoit, a Grammy-nominated musician known for Delta swamp blues. Additionally, a summer-long celebration is planned for the year 1999, highlighting its cultural impact on film and beyond. Opportunities for winning tickets are available to the public.
Austin-based nine-piece Shinyribs defies genres as a sonic melting pot of Texas Blues, New Orleans R&B funk, horn-driven Memphis Soul and a whole lot more.
The Alain Johannes Band is hitting the Pacific Northwest this July, marking Johannes' first rock tour with a full band in the U.S. since his days with Eleven.
Tab Benoit is a Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter and guitarist who has built a remarkable 30+ year career on the foundation of his gritty and soulful Delta swamp blues.
Welcome to the SUMMER OF '99—a launching pad for today's biggest filmmakers, a breakout year for indie film, and a cultural turning point that echoes today.
