Music scene · The Dalles

The Dalles, a Columbia River town, has a modest music life centered on school bands, church choirs, and acoustic acts at local bars. Portland musicians occasionally pass through the gorge.

Performances happen at the high school auditorium, church fellowship halls, community centers, and local restaurants. Park pavilions serve summer community concerts.

Local and regional artists perform in this Columbia River town, with musicians from the nearby Portland scene occasionally passing through.

Musicians should connect with school music programs, watch community bulletin boards for listings, and make the drive to Portland or Hood River for larger audiences.
