Bon Bon Vivant will perform at The Showdown in Portland, Oregon on July 23, 2026. The band is known for its distinctive blend of New Orleans jazz, swing, and Frenchmen Street-inspired sounds, often incorporating elements of cabaret and a playful, energetic stage presence. Their instrumentation typically features trumpet, trombone, clarinet, guitar, upright bass, and drums. They have released several albums and regularly tour nationally.

The Showdown is a long-standing music venue located in Southeast Portland. Originally established as a dive bar in the early 2000s, it quickly became recognized for hosting a diverse range of local and touring acts, with a particular focus on punk, rockabilly, blues, and jazz. It’s known for its intimate setting and consistently supports independent music scenes. The venue maintains a relatively small capacity—approximately 250 people—contributing to its close-knit atmosphere. Over the years it has hosted numerous well-known artists alongside emerging talent solidifying its place within Portland’s music landscape. It continues to operate as an independently owned establishment.
