This event is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Deschutes Brewery will provide complimentary beer for guests.
Meet LUVJONEZ
Luvjonez (he/his) is a Puerto Rican hip hop producer based in Portland, Oregon. He weaves a nostalgic and downtempo blend of musical influences from his cultural roots, extensive travels, and artistic experiences. His instrumental tracks combine Down South, East Coast, Pacific Northwest elements and ancestral Caribbean vibes, creating a genre-defying mix of lofi, jazzy, downtempo, and boom bap styles.
Primarily an instrumental artist, he also collaborates on singles and albums with emcee’s, vocalists, and musicians from around the world, while licensing music for podcasts and film projects with Marmoset Music. In addition to music production, he also runs A Beat Happening (@abeathappening), an all ages, free, monthly, inclusive, BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S- centered music producer and DJ showcase that is celebrating it’s 8 year anniversary in 2025.
Meet VNPRT
