Noon Tunes Summer Concert Series presented by 101.9 KINK
2025-07-29 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Pioneer Courthouse Square, 701 SW 6th Ave., Portland, OR, 97204, United States
Eric John Kaiser will be performing at Noon Tunes over the lunch hour!
Known as The French Troubadour, Parisian-born Eric John Kaiser is a singer-songwriter reimagining French music through an Americana lens. Eric was born in the southern outskirts of Paris, in small town called Verrières-le Buisson, and began learning guitar when he was 10 years old. After years of a classical music education, he found a teacher that opened him up to the music of the Beatles and Rolling Stones. He began writing songs in his adolescence, using music as both a diary to channel his experiences and as his personal legacy. After performing over 350 concerts in France, Eric John Kaiser fell in love with a girl, a romance which would bring him to Portland, Oregon where he is currently based. His songs resonate with a genuine Americana rhythm, like galloping across the vast plains on horseback, with a western lap steel guitar playing dirty roadhouse blues.
The Noon Tunes Summer Concert Series returns for its 33rd year and expands to Tuesdays and Thursdays June 3 – July 31! From Noon-1:00pm enjoy music from some of Portland’s best regional and local musical talent. With 17 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.
