Alaskan psych pop band Portugal. The Man have an impressive history of using their music to 'pass the mic' and encourage impact wherever they go. While they've topped US and global charts, won a grammy and made over 9 albums, they have also dedicated the opening of every set for performances, poems, dances and speeches by First Nations artists and leaders from the local area they perform. Jack River caught up with frontman John Gourley from their respective lockdowns to chat about how artists and their listeners can socially mobilise through music. To connect follow @torebelinthetimes on Instagram.
