Paula Byrne Vocal Showcase & Jam - Wilfs
Add to CalendarWednesday, May 13th 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Paula Byrne’s voice is like chilled champagne on a hot summer day. She moves easily between songs that are lush and beautiful to highly rhythmic, wild rides. Her sense of humor, revival of obscure songs, and new twists on old standards keep the audience engaged and enraptured.
Paula is eclectic in her choice of musicians with whom to perform, including many of Portland’s best: Randy Porter, Gordon Lee, George Mitchell, Craig Bidondo, Joe Millward, Ron Steen, Dennis Caiazza, Rich Turnoy, Glenn Holstrom, Andrea Niemiec, Kevin Dietz, Christopher Woitach and Darin Clendenin, Matt Tabor, Craig Snazelle, Dave Captein, Vince Frates, Dan Gaynor, John Gilmore, Mike Horsfall, Greg Goebel, Dan Presley, Carlton Jackson, Gordon Lee, Todd Marston, and Kurt Deutscher.
Born to a jazz drummer (father) and figure skater (mother), she has been a lover of music and movement since birth. Paula teaches dance locally and internationally and has been a moving force in the dance scene in Portland since 1996. She is the creator of the Wild Grace™ and DanceQuest™ movement meditations and was the Founder of SomaSpace ~ Studio of Movement Arts in NE PDX.

Wilf’s Restaurant & Jazz Bar at Union Station
Lunch. Dinner. Jazz. Local and Sustainable
A sustainable company, Wilfs is located on the perimeter of Portland’s Pearl and River districts at historic Union Station. Celebrating 45+ years in business, Wilfs remains a family-owned restaurant built on a legacy of fine dining and personal service. Just a few minutes from the Moda Center means you can dine from our main dinner menu or casual bar menu before your event – Blazers’ games, concerts, events, and more.
There’s a minimum charge per person for food and beverages during live entertainment.
Reservations are highly recommended for the dining room and lounge.
Jazz notes from the piano drift through the dining room, while in the lounge, you experience the music… upfront and personal. Wilfs has become the best venue to hear Portland’s jazz artists perform, and if you are lucky, national artists may “sit-in” or relax with the music, just like you! Reservations are strongly urged in our lounge.
Located at the foot of the Broadway Bridge, just off I-5, 405, and Banfield. Blocks from the Pearl District.
Important dining information. We have a 15-minute grace period. Please call us if you are running later than 15 minutes after your reservation time.
