Noon Tunes Summer Concert Series presented by 101.9 Kink & Hilton Portland Downtown

Ben Rice & The PDX Hustle will be performing at Noon Tunes over the lunch hour!

Ben Rice might be described as quiet and unassuming – until he picks up a guitar. That stealthy quality has earned him the moniker “blues ninja,” evidenced in his vocal chops and songcraft as well as his guitar playing. In 2023 Ben added horns, vocal harmonies, piano and organ to his lineup for a larger, more energetic band that he calls Ben Rice & The PDX Hustle. The response locally and on tour has been electric – the higher-intensity presentation of Ben’s music brings audiences to their feet and makes it clear Ben Rice is a formidable artist with more career triumphs still in his future.

The Noon Tunes Summer Concert Series returns for its 32^nd year and expands to Tuesdays and Thursdays June 4 – July 30! From Noon-1:00pm enjoy music from some of Portland’s best regional and local musical talent. With 16 FREE concerts, dancing, painting at Art in The Park and some of Portland’s favorite food vendors at Carts on the Square, The Square is sure to be Downtown’s summer lunchtime destination.
