Fruit Bats

Fruit Bats are playing the Crystal Ballroom, bringing their brand of thoughtful, melodic indie-folk to Portland. Eric D. Johnson’s songwriting has consistently evolved over the years, maintaining a warmth and introspection that resonates whether he’s playing solo or with the full band. Expect a mix of older favorites and material from their more recent albums. This Fruit Bats show on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, offers a chance to see them in a classic Portland venue. The Crystal Ballroom's open floor plan and balcony seating usually make for a good live music experience. It’s a solid pick for anyone who appreciates well-crafted songs and a relaxed, engaging performance.
