We’ve all been there. You show up to play a show with your young band and the venue decides that, despite being the act they’ve booked, you’re turned away for being under age.
This is exactly what happened to a young artist from Portland when his band, Ancient Burials, recently arrived at their hometown show at the Hawthorne Theatre only to discover he didn’t meet the venue’s 21+ criteria.
Luckily the other band on the bill, Paradigm Shift, were there to save the day by providing the young musician with a wireless system, allowing him to play outside while the rest of his band continued with the gig indoors.
Paradigm Shift explained in a Facebook post: “So our homeboy in Ancient Burials was a bit too young to play inside, so we hooked him up with some wireless gear.” Watch the guitar player shred in the street, below.
