About Dear Drummer

Turning bars into house parties

Dear Drummer started the same way most good things do: a bunch of friends, a few songs, and a reason to stay out too late. Somewhere along the way, people started dancing. We kept playing.

These days, Dear Drummer blends funk, rock, reggae, soul, and house-party energy into the kind of live show where one drink turns into three and strangers somehow end up singing together.

Portland party music.
You should probably bring friends.

The Office

We’re heading back to The Office in Milwaukie — and this time we’re bringing a little something different. We’ll kick things off stripped down and acoustic, then plug in, turn it up, and see how quickly we can turn The Office into a house party. Expect 2+ hours of songs you know, songs you forgot you loved, and probably a few we have no business playing. Come early, grab a drink, and stay late. It’s gonna get louder.

Where: 10598 Southeast 32nd Avenue Milwaukie, OR 97222

When: 8pm - 11pm
