Mon, Nov 2 · 9pm · Polaris Hall, 635 N Killingsworth St, Portland
The Tuareg guitarist from Niger, known for blazing, hypnotic desert-rock, plays a solo set in North Portland. Without the full band, the spotlight lands on the guitar itself: the tone, the speed and the way one player can fill a room.
Plan it: Polaris Hall is compact, so you will be close to the stage. Check the venue for doors and age policy.
