Soulful, uplifting music, re-created in the live setting, is one of the most healing and profound means of expression humanity has. This music is one of the most effective tools of bringing about positive social evolution. We offer this festival as the beginning of a new movement towards realizing music's inherent healing and transformative qualities, and as a means of applying these qualities directly in our ever expanding community.

The Soul'd Out Music Festival was created in November 2009 as a means by which to give a platform to music often overlooked by the commercial music industry, as well as to firmly supplant Portland as the West Coast's premier independently-minded music market.
 
 
The second annual Soul'd Out Music Festival will take place over ten days, throughout more than 10  of Portland's most prestigious venues. Featuring artists from across the musical spectrum, SOMF brings them all together under the banner of soulful music. Because, Soul music, unlike any other, has the unique ability to unite us across perceived differences in race, culture or generation.

SOMF 2011 is produced by Portland-based Soul'd Out Productions.
