Durand Jones and the Indications

Durand Jones and the Indications bring their irresistible blend of vintage soul, funk, and rhythm and blues to the iconic 2026 Waterfront Blues Festival in Portland, Oregon. Set against the stunning backdrop of Tom McCall Waterfront Park along the Willamette River, this celebrated annual festival transforms the city's beloved green space into a sun-drenched paradise of world-class music, good food, and joyful community spirit. Catch Durand Jones and the Indications on Friday, July 3rd as part of an electrifying multi-day lineup that also features The Revivalists and Tank.
