The following description comes from the event organizer.

We are very pleased to announce WE CAN GET TOGETHER - a THS weekend in Portland, Oregon featuring three shows and much much more April 27-29. It’s band's first time in Portland since 2014 and they'll be pulling out all stops to celebrate 20 years of The Hold Steady. 

Kicking off at Mississippi Studios Thursday April 27 for an intimate show in a smaller club. Then moving over to the awesome Revolution Hall for Friday and Saturday night shows. We are excited to bring The Hold Steady and the Unified Scene to both venues for the first time. 

On Saturday afternoon, THS have planned a special day of programming in Show Bar at Revolution Hall:

• Craig will be hosting all members of THS on a live version of his podcast THAT’S HOW I REMEMBER IT. They’ll dive into recollections of their 20 years as a band and see if their stories match up. We’ll find out which member of THS has the best memory. 
• Franz will be featured in a one on one interview/discussion about his two books: Someone Should Pay for Your Pain and The Humorless Ladies of Border Control. A great literary event in the city that houses the awesome Powell’s Books. 
• Tad and Steve will be giving a guitar workshop. They’ll talk gear as well as demonstrate some THS songs, and will take questions from any guitar players in the audience. This is your chance to learn how to play that THS riff that’s been eluding you.

The Hold Steady

Formed in 2003, The Hold Steady have released eight albums, numerous singles and have played over a thousand shows.

The Brooklyn-based band has performed in all 50 states in the USA and throughout Canada, Europe and Australia.  The Hold Steady’s music has appeared in movies, advertising and TV, including on Game Of Thrones and Billions. In addition, that band has written original material for the Seth Meyers cartoon The Awesomes and Meyers’ 2019 stand-up special Lobby Baby.

Released in early 2021, The Hold Steady’s most recent record Open Door Policy, achieved the band’s highest chart position of any album, debuting #6 on the Billboard Current Album Chart. Vulture gushed the record “expands their horizons,” and “gives the Hold Steady new heft and variety without undercutting the sharpness of the hooks or singer-guitarist Craig Finn’s heart-wrenching novelistic lyricism.”
 
2023 marks the 20th Anniversary of The Hold Steady and will see an expanded collection of music and activities to celebrate the milestone with their fans.  The band’s 9th album, The Price Of Progress, will be released March 31, 2023 on their own Positive Jams record label via Thirty Tigers.
