SoundsTruck NW® is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts organization based in Portland, Oregon, bringing live music and creative experiences directly to communities and neighbors through pop-up performances.
Founded by professional classical musicians Jon and Yoko Greeney during the COVID-19 pandemic, SoundsTruck NW emerged from a reimagining of the concert experience for greater flexibility, resilience, and access. The result is an award-winning, solar-powered, all-in-one mobile stage designed for outdoor and everyday settings.
Today, we present community programs and collaborate with partners across the region, creating welcoming spaces for connection through family-friendly events.
