Cover Your Hearts
Nostalgic for the music and the fashion of the 80’s? Did you miss the 80’s entirely but love a great party anyway? Ready for some love songs, sweet, sour or wild? Then don’t miss the annual Cover Your Hearts Valentine's ball, Friday, Feb. 14 at the Get Down.
Launched in 2008, Cover Your Hearts is your opportunity to catch your favorite local musicians covering iconic 80s love songs. Lael Alderman, who has played at all the shows, talked about its early inspiration, at a time when nobody wanted to admit they liked the 80s.
“We wanted to do those classic guitar solos. A hair metal tune. Or a sugary synthesized pop tune. We thought it would be fun to dress up and do everything over the top.”
The audience seems to agree! “We were doing that song Faithfully,” Lael remembers. “And by the time we got to that part in the song, the whole audience was doing the ‘wo, ow ow ow’ part. You just don’t get moments like that when you’re doing your own songs.”

Win the Original Artwork for James Low’s new album TRUE – by artist Sean Croghan!
To celebrate the launch of James Low’s new album TRUE, he’s giving you the chance to own two amazing pieces of art – the original artwork created by Portland’s own punk rock legend, Sean Croghan.
Both original paintings will be raffled off to one lucky winner along with a signed vinyl copy of TRUE, and all proceeds from the raffle will benefit the Jeremy Wilson Foundation 501(c)3 Musician Health & Services Program.
About the Artwork:
These stunning artworks are a visual representation of the themes of light and darkness represented on the album – raw, and powerful.
“The two pieces are about transformation . The use of animals in mythology for telling the human story, coyotes journey, the flight of the gander, scrub, Jay and his sister; these stories bounce around in my head and come out on the paper. Combined with my love of music and dance, ritual and movement; I think of these as snapshots of actors in motion, performing a dance.” Sean Croghan artist.
