Linda, I don't know if there is. There's a Portland Songwriters Assn., that I was briefly in touch with but never joined (too far away), and a Portland Folk Music Society, but I never found anything else. Maybe they just hide good. There's reportedly a pretty active live music scene in Portland, but I got the impression very little of it was country music. That's the same case down here in southern Oregon (lots of would-be folkies and rockies), but I'm eddicatin' 'em best I can. I've asked several of them to be the band for the next CD.
