Barrel Room
120 NW Couch St, Portland, OR 97209A Vocal Monet 2026 brings live music to Portland's Pride season at the Barrel Room in Old Town on Sunday, June 14, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Presented by KCD Entertainment and featuring vocalist Kourtni Capree Duv, this intimate evening is listed as an official Portland Pride event, offering a soulful, early-summer warm-up weeks before the festival and parade take over the waterfront. The Barrel Room is a cozy, characterful Old Town space, the kind of room where a strong voice and a close crowd make for a memorable night. Expect a polished, heartfelt performance celebrating the artistry of the LGBTQ+ community, a welcome change of pace from the big street festivals and dance floors that dominate Pride weekend. It is an easy, feel-good outing for a Sunday evening, whether you come with friends or as a date. Check KCD Entertainment's channels for ticket details and any age policy, and reserve ahead since intimate rooms fill quickly. The Barrel Room sits at 120 NW Couch Street in Old Town and Chinatown, steps from the MAX light rail in the transit-rich heart of downtown, so transit is the easy call over parking. Come a little early to settle in with a drink, and plan to make an evening of it in a neighborhood packed with bars and restaurants. On a Portland Pride 2026 calendar full of parties and parades, A Vocal Monet is a gem for anyone who wants their Pride with a little live-music soul.
