No labor to find cool music this weekend!

The unofficial end of summer is drawing nigh, so if you're in or near Portland this weekend, here's a few musical options to check out ...

Every Labor Day weekend there's Art in the Pearl ... besides some visually stunning work to enjoy, there's also a stage of music to check out with some of Portland's finest including Beth Wood, Karyn Ann, Radio Stranger, Pretty Gritty, Will West, Kathryn Claire, and Anna Tival.

Up for a lovely drive to Mt. Hood? Every Labor Day, Timberline hosts the Timberline Mountain Music Festival. The focus of this 7th year is on string and acoustic artists and music goes from 12:30 to 7 pm. Free.
