Moving into it’s 9th year, Musicfest NW is a Portland event brought to you by the local publication, Willamette Week, that celebrates the diversity of music genres throughout the city of Portland over a 4-day jaunt.

Bluegrass, Hip Hop, Indie, Punk and mucho more music styles will be rocking they city at various venues around the city from September 16 – 20th, 2009. The Roseland Theatre, Satyricon, Ash Street Salloon, the Wonder Ballroom and other locations will be hosting multiple bands each night. You could actually turn it into a sort of Scavenger Hunt, if you’re into games, as you hop from place to place, in a mad attempt to catch all the tunes.

Here’s a taste of what you can expect. This is Helio Sequence.
