Beck: Ride Lonesome Tour in Portland

Beck brings his Ride Lonesome Tour to the Portland'5 Centers for the Arts, celebrating the release of his fifteenth studio album. The new record grew out of an orchestral project he started after a two-night residency at the Royal Albert Hall in London, and it was recorded at United Studios in Hollywood with longtime collaborators including Smokey Hormel, Joey Waronker, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Roger Joseph Manning Jr. and Jason Falkner.

The concert offers a first live look at this material after a long gap between studio albums, with the title track already out and a version featuring Sierra Ferrell giving a taste of the record's range. For listeners who have followed Beck from records like Mutations and Sea Change, the return of those familiar players suggests a warm, collaborative evening built on musical history.
