In Downeast, Victoria Wasylak called her most recent album, , "a trove of genre-defying ballads about friendship, devotion, and the passage of time." The band will perform songs from that album and from their new record, Helpless Love, due out in the summer of 2026.Wednesday, April 29 at 7:00 PM (doors 6:30 PM), approximately 75-minutes. $20 for MH members, $25 for general admission.ABOUT THE SERIESInspired by a certain well-known desk-based concert series, the Mechanics’ Hall Tiny Circulation Desk brings the same stripped-down, close-up energy, with more library cards and fewer office supplies.Equal parts cozy hangout and low-key listening room, this weeknight series transforms the Mechanics’ Hall Library into one of Portland’s most intimate and unexpected music venues.Filmed by the Portland Media Center, each concert feels like a live demo, a secret show, and a community gathering all at once.
