Hope to see you there!About Richard:“When we travel down those old back roads, that’s when we finally find our way,” sings Portland songwriter Richard Colombo — and that spirit of discovery runs through every note he plays. For over four decades, Richard has been a beloved songwriter, performer, teacher, and community builder whose heartfelt songs blend timeless storytelling with themes of love, courage, and joy.Known for his clear tenor voice, masterful guitar work, and playful energy, Richard’s performances move easily between the profound and the delightfully whimsical — especially when he breaks out his banjo ukulele. A night with Richard leaves audiences feeling uplifted, inspired, and connected.A lifelong educator, Richard discovered early on the magic of music to bring people together. His journey took him from performing in California’s folk scene to Portland, where he co-founded Artichoke Community Music, a nonprofit hub for music lovers and creators. He has released several acclaimed albums, led countless workshops, and continues to teach and perform throughout the community.Through it all, Richard remains devoted to one vision: building community through song and reminding us that music has the power to heal, connect, and transform.hard Columbo - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/portland/queer-open-mic/100001980050919602 - **Event Categories**: Entertainment, Music, performances, Art, Workshops, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 54.83, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Portland - **state**: OR - **country**: United States - **location**: Artichoke Community Music - **lat**: 45.4997881 - **long**: -122.6454883 - **full address**: Artichoke Community Music, 2007 Southeast Powell Boulevard, Portland, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Queer Open Mic - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/62765c6a9a34af17661730da02d349843549f1f74e18dc69af3bd5f902ea328e-rimg-w1024-h1536-dcefd7a5-gmir.jpg?v=1772340164 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Queer Open Mic being held? - **A:** Queer Open Mic takes place on Wed, 22 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Wed, 22 Apr, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Artichoke Community Music, 2007 Southeast Powell Boulevard, Portland, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Queer Open Mic? - **A:** Tickets for Queer Open Mic are priced at USD 55 per person.
