On my way to my third year covering PDX Pop Now! 2014, I was wondering about the decision to bounce back and forth between inside and outside sets, which I experienced in 2012. Whatever reservations I had about that setup, they were quickly dissipated when I started my venture down Madison street from Grand and realized that the stage was situated under a bridge, a masterstroke which provided ample shade, rain protection, and visuals all in one. The sweet sounds of the Tezeta Band put some bounce in my step as I sauntered down to the festival.
