Marisa Anderson at AyurPrana Listening Room

The Scoop

Portland guitarist Marisa Anderson performs at AyurPrana Listening Room on Sunday, June 14th. Doors open at 7 PM. Anderson is one of the most distinctive voices in American instrumental guitar — drawing from blues, folk, jazz, and experimental traditions in a way that feels utterly her own. Her fingerpicked playing is unhurried and deeply thoughtful, building pieces that reward close listening. She has earned widespread respect across the folk, indie, and experimental scenes for recordings that are both sonically distinctive and emotionally present — the kind of guitar music that silences a room. Tickets are $23.70 via DICE. APLR's seated, low-light environment is well suited to Anderson's contemplative style — this is an evening for listeners who want to be fully present with the music.
