During these difficult times, it warms the heart to see artists do something more than just complain on social media. Portugal. The Man brought their tour to Chicago’s Salt Shed determined to make a difference in the lives of Chicago’s most needy residents. Collaborating with Beyond Hunger, a local non for profit supplementing the nutritional needs of residents of the city’s West side.
A near capacity crowd was treated to more than two dozen selections from the band’s catalog, including older favorites as well as material from their new album.
In fact, the first part of the performance consisted entirely of music from the newly released Shish album and it was well received by fans in attendance. Only “Tanana” was not in the early rotation but they performed it during the encore at the end of the evening. The second part of their set reached deeper into the catalog. ”Creep in a T-Shirt” and “Modern Jesus” hit a spark with the crowd, as did “Live in the Moment” and “Feel it Still”.
In addition to the music, there were opportunities to bid on a signed guitar and PTM merchandise!
Opening the evening were Seattle indie rockers La Luz. This all-girl band is worthy of a follow. Consider adding them to you watch list. They do not disappoint!
