They Live Here / Upcoming Living In America: Help Keep Tender Forever in Portland
Posted by Travis Ritter on Wed, May 4, 2011 at 1:46 PM
Melanie Valera, better known as K Records artist Tender Forever, would rather stay in America than be shuffled back to her native country, France. But in order to do so, she needs to renew her visa, which is a costly ordeal. (Who has a mattress stuffed with money these days? Certainly no one in Portland.) Fortunately, North Portland bar The Saratoga has stepped up to the plate to help Tender Forever raise funds through a benefit show, set to go down at 9pm, Thursday, May 12.
Valera has called Portland home for the last three years, and it would be a shame to lose her to the clutches of the United States I.N.S. (who enforce strict limitations on when a non-native can return, if ever).
Tender Forever will be supported by Montreal-based musician Rae Spoon, and Timmy Shaw. The door cover is on a $5-$15 sliding scale.
