March First Thursday with Moorea Masa
Celebrate the 2022 March First Thursday with a performance by Moorea Masa. This singer/songwriter/guitarist is known for transporting listeners from lush green forests to dimly-lit juke joints with her songs. She will be performing an intimate concert with a trio as part of the March First Thursday festivities at Portland Center Stage.
Two gallery exhibits will be on display during the event: Arvie Smith's painting exhibit, Works by Arvie Smith, is showing through April 4 in the PGE Gallery and Tom Lupton's photography exhibit, Like the Brightest Star, is showing through March 6 in the Studio Gallery.
Join us in person at The Armory or watch the performance online!
- Performed in the main lobby (no ticket needed, masks and proof of vaccine required).
Moorea Masa (pronounced More-ray-uh Mah-sa), was raised in the musical mecca of Portland, Oregon. The daughter of an Italian immigrant father and an African-American mother born abroad, this singer/songwriter/guitarist has been making music for as long as she can remember. Moorea studied at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts in England and spent time living in a cave and soaking in flamenco music in Granada, Spain.
She has toured the world and shared a stage with artists k.d Lang, Allen Stone, Big Wild, Rachael Price (Lake Street Dive) The Motet, Nick Waterhouse, headlined tours in Europe, and supported other artists including Corrine Bailey Rae, Emily King, Lawrence, Bernhoft, and more.
