Kory Quinn and the Quintessentials are one of the city’s best country bands-although “country” is only the tip of the iceberg of what these guys are capable of. There’s a reason Portland musicians call him “Bandpa.” Coykendall’s own songs are wide-ranging and display his unique sonic imprint, reaching into all the genres that American rock ’n’ roll touches upon, from garage rock to folk to psychedelia to country. Ward, Blitzen Trapper, and far too many other acts to mention. Mike Coykendall is one of Portland’s hidden gems, a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer who’s worked with M. We’ve also teamed up with Amberlight Cannabis House to make this year’s event extra celebratory. The Chili Jamboree is brought to you from our good friends at Nicky USA, and since no self-respecting chili cookoff would be complete without whiskey and beer, we’re also sponsored by the fine folks at Jim Beam and Rainier. (Don’t have a ticket yet? What are you waiting for? Head to right now and get yours before they’re all gone.) Get ready to taste some of the best, most creative chili you’ve ever had, and vote for your favorite. This marks year five of the Chili Jamboree, and if you’ve already got your ticket in hand, you’ve got some spicy, savory, slow-cooked goodness in store. And you get to decide who deserves it most! NEARBY: Once one of Portland's few true honky-tonks, Landmark Saloon (4847 SE Division St.) was recently forced to suspend live music due to alleged 'zoning' issues, but its expansive patio is still the best place for cornhole in the city, if'n that's what you're looking for.It’s jamboree time again! Chili Jamboree time, that is-when Portland’s best chefs get together and concoct their finest chili for a chance at winning the much-vaunted Chili Jamboree belt! And that’s no metaphor: the winner will take home the custom-made, one-of-a-kind Portland Mercury Chili Jamboree belt buckle, which is larger and heavier than all get out. To boot, once I got my sample home, I found it to be tasty and potent and wished I'd picked up more, despite having bought 4 grams for $20, tax included. It rivaled or upstaged the third-party flowers three times its price, had THC content above 20 percent and smelled fantastic. 'It's our budget strain right now,' the budtender told me, explaining it was an early release from Amberlight's new garden. The flower selection included a lot of the usual suspects, but I was also handed a jar of a small-batch release of Doc OG from the shop's vertically integrated farm, Amberlight Gardens. When I asked what unique products they offered, I was shown limited-edition Lief Goods spiced chocolate, CBD dog treats and an infused water that I'd never seen before. The staff was exceptionally bright-eyed-friendly, attentive and refreshingly excited to answer the laundry list of questions I'd prepared. 10 am-9 pm Monday-Saturday, noon-5 pm Sunday.Ī few months back, I stopped by Amberlight Cannabis House on a sleepy Tuesday morning.
