Our Bright Lights Pt. 1 @ The Parlour from oknowitsfuntime on Vimeo.

Our dear friends at Potlatch Presents came down last week with a lovely show of unplugged jesusey folk and sincere vocal quality. Living room lamp in place to bring somewhat of a brighter light on our intimate space warmed the Parlour into a bit of a house show (but at a venue). Austin, Drew & Jesus, Ghosties, Glass Teeth and Sweeping Exits swept us away into a night of acoustic bliss, and here’s the video to show for it. Make sure to catch all these Potlatch kids at the rest of their Our Bright Lights series at other lovely small venues and homes around Portland!
