Portland Playhouse is perhaps one of this fair cities more charming venues. Seating only 150 people, this church turned playhouse is intimate and striking and on May 19th Alela Diane, Vikesh Kapoor, and Barna Howard will be pouring out their own unique and heartfelt stories through song in a way that will also fall into the intimate and striking category. Alela Diane will surely stun that evening, with that haunting voice that sings to loss and regret eloquently and honestly. Kapoor and Barna share Dianes gift with lyrics, each one unique, each one sure to please the lucky 150 patrons of the Playhouse. The three powerful artists filling this once-sacred space with music on May 19th at 7:00pm. Tickets are $14/$16 at the door. – Joy Pearson
