Powell's City of Books - bookstore hosting in-store music events

Powell's City of Books (founded 1971) at its Burnside location has a long history of hosting in-store events that include author readings, album-release appearances, and occasional live performances by local and touring musicians. These events have been part of Powell's cultural programming and support for Portland's music and arts community. The store's central location and event calendar have made it a notable gathering place for music-related promotions and launches.
