Show / Performance

Kathy Boyd & Phoenix Rising at the PDX Rock n' Roll 1/2 Marathon
at SE 33rd and SE Pine
Portland, OR 97215

Starts at 08:00 AM through 12:00 AM

Kathy Boyd & Phoenix rising had so much fun holding down the halfway point of the Portland Rock n' Roll 1/2 Marathon last year that they can't wait for their encore performance again this year!

The Laurelhurst District has been deemed a "quiet" area, so their brand of Rock n' Roll bluegrass is PERFECT for keeping the enthusiasm of both the runners and the crowd at peek levels without shattering the windows of this beautiful historic neighborhood.

Feel free to join Kathy Boyd & Phoenix Rising on the corner of SE 33rd and Pine and enjoy a morning of high energy music while cheering on an amazing assortment of runners ranging from the serious to the silly to the sublime!
