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. Their lush, retro-inspired sound — anchored by Jones's silky, powerful voice and the band's tight instrumental command — conjures the golden era of soul while feeling completely alive and urgent for today. Whether you're swaying in the crowd or soaking in the riverfront scenery, their set promises to be an unforgettable highlight of the festival weekend.
The 3-Day Pass (July 2–4) offers the ultimate immersive experience, giving you access to a sweeping roster of blues, soul, and roots artists across multiple stages. With the Columbia and Willamette Rivers shimmering in the background, Portland's skyline as your backdrop, and the warm energy of a city that truly loves live music, the Waterfront Blues Festival is more than a concert — it's a summer tradition not to be missed.
