This week critically-acclaimed French duo Air will be headlining the Walt Disney Concert Hall with none other than Tulsa-bred singer-songwriter AM. Portland-based alt-country duo She & Him, or rather Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward, are poised to perform to a sold-out crowd at the El Rey Theatre with the Living Sisters in tow. Kansas City-bred Grammy Award-nominated pop singer-songwriter Janelle Monae will be taking on a two-night stint at the Viper Room. And, lastly, Portland's own experimental electronic duo YACHT will be gracing the Echoplex with local electro pop mastermind Bobby Birdman, Denver-bred experimental electronic musician Pictureplane and Georgia-by-way-of-South Carolina dream-pop maestro Washed Out.

Washed Out - "Luck"

Janelle Monae - "Many Moons"

Air - "African Velvet"

The Living Sisters - "Double Knots"
