THE APRICOTS [residency!] / Amos Heart

The Apricots, a Portland indie-folk band built around dreamy melodies, lush harmonies, and a little bit of magic. For this Laurelthirst residency in October, the band is stripping things back for a more intimate, raw, and close to the room set, letting the songs and three-part harmonies take center stage.

“Playing the Laurelthirst feels like a a rite of passage for The Apricots. Many of the Portland artists who inspired us have graced this room, making it a special place in the musical history of our community. To now have the opportunity to bring our own songs into that space is something we’re incredibly grateful for”

Come sit close, sing along, and spend an evening with The Apricots in one of Portland’s most beloved rooms.
