The Shins are a GRAMMY nominated American band formed by James Mercer inAlbuquerque, NM in 1996. Their debut full length, Oh, Inverted World caused a seismic shift in the indie rock world upon its release in 2001, singlehandedly ushering in the modern era of the genre. With six full length albums released to date, including TheWorm’s Heart which is composed of “flipped” or alternate/opposite versions of each of the original songs on Heartworms, the band continues to redefine and push the boundaries of indie and alternative music.

    I really want to see a concert at Pioneer Square this summer and The Shins would be an awesome one to see and I would make sure to get there early to see Oregon’s own Joseph open the show.

    I got to see them only once, and the venue’s sound was so unbalanced that I mostly heard feedback all night. Would love to finally see their show the way it is intended to sound, for the audience.

    I want to see a concert before summers end

  52. Bilbo on September 7, 2022 at 12:57 pm

    Ah, this album brings me back to my late Twenties when life felt a bit simpler. And let’s not forget the film, Garden State immortalizing “New Slang” to the masses! Would be amazing to re-live a bit of my youth when this album was on replay all summer.

  53. John brown on September 7, 2022 at 4:19 pm

    I would love to go this,
    Good luck everyone

  59. Heather on September 11, 2022 at 7:19 pm

    A mother and (15-year-old) son concert outing at Pioneer Courthouse Square to see/hear/experience The Shins along with Joseph would be a blast. A memory-making evening. (Full disclosure…I’m the mother, but son is all in). Thanks for the entry opportunity!

  60. Amber on September 12, 2022 at 8:46 am

    Yes please!

  61. David rottenberg on September 12, 2022 at 11:17 am

    Happy 21st Birthday the Shins!!! I’d LOVE and be so grateful to surprise my sister for her birthday with this special birthday show ✨ Seeing them and the queens of song sisters, Joseph, would be an absolute dream come true for us big fans!
