On June 14, the atmosphere at the Edgefield Amphitheater in Troutdale, Oregon, was truly magical as Cavetown, Mother Mother, and Meet Me @ The Altar delivered an unforgettable concert experience. The evening kicked off with Meet Me @ The Altar. From the moment they took the stage, Meet Me @ The Altar had the crowd singing along and jumping with so much energy. Their gratitude and joy were radiant, setting a vibrant tone for the night.
Following their electrifying performance, Mother Mother took the stage. As the sun started to set, the colorful lighting scheme intensified, enhancing the band’s already dynamic presence. They delighted fans with popular covers that had everyone singing in unison, creating a sense of euphoria under the twilight sky.
Then came Cavetown, accompanied by a visually unique stage setup featuring enormous inflatable mushrooms and a large tree stump from which Robby performed. The setlist was a perfect blend of beloved classics and newer hits, each resonating deeply with the enthusiastic crowd. During an emotional moment, Robby spoke candidly about his journey as a transgender man, particularly touching upon the significance of his song “This is Home” to the LGBTQ+ community. As he moved through the song, draped in flags handed up from the audience, tears of joy were visible among many LGBTQ+ youth in attendance, moved by his heartfelt gesture of solidarity and representation.
Reflecting on the evening, it was more than just a concert; it was a celebration of inclusivity, acceptance, and the power of music to uplift and empower. The performances were not only musically outstanding but also emotionally profound, leaving a mark on all who were fortunate enough to be there. As the night came to a close, it was clear that this concert would be remembered as a major moment for a lot of people for a long time.
