Live Music Tuesday with Ben Woodman

We’re shaking things up with Live Music Tuesday this week instead of our usual Sunday set—because the POP! Party is taking over the weekend!

Join us for a relaxing evening of melodies under the trees with Ben Woodman. Ben Woodman is a guitarist, trumpet player, and composer based in the PNW since 2014. He regularly performs and records with his groups Idle Hands Quartet, Strange Rotation, and his new trio based in Portland, OR. As a solo performer, he utilizes a wide range of sounds to bring the “jazz guitar” tradition to life. Loops, rhythms, and textures meet a bebop vocabulary and dexterity.

Bring a blanket, your favorite snacks, and a friend. Whether you’re winding down after work or just passing through, Holladay Park is the perfect place to pause and enjoy some live music in community.

About Lloyd Live:Lloyd Live at Holladay Park is a community-led initiative from Lloyd EcoDistrict, Multnomah County, and Portland Parks & Recreation. We’re bringing 90 days of continuous, low-barrier public programming to the park—everything from music to coworking to splash pad mornings. It’s all part of a bigger effort to build joy, connection, and trust in Lloyd’s public spaces. Learn more here.
