Beck: Ride Lonesome Tour at Portland'5 Centers for the Arts

Beck brings his Ride Lonesome Tour to Portland'5 Centers for the Arts for an evening of shape-shifting, genre-blending music. Since his breakthrough with the lo-fi single "Loser," Beck has built a catalog that moves through folk, funk, soul, hip hop, electronica, alternative rock, country, and psychedelia — a musical collage that defines each performance.

His records range from the sample-driven Odelay to the acoustic introspection of Sea Change and the folk-inflected Morning Phase, so a single night can travel from hip-hop beats to country twang and psychedelic textures. Raised in Los Angeles and shaped by the city's coffeehouse scene, Beck remains a singular figure in alternative rock — equal parts songwriter, producer, and sonic collage artist.
