Join us for the 8th biennial My Americana, a vibrant and heartfelt duo show featuring Ollie Collins on words and Shane O’Shields on music. It’s community, it’s theater, it’s Americana—like you’ve never seen before.

My Americana (2025) is the story of life in Portland, OR. Exit 2B. Fireworks. 82nd Avenue. Martok. Rain. Delivering Food. Birthday Candles. Happiness. Pumpkin Pie. The American Dream.

First performed in 2011, My Americana is a performance piece with a single stage performer accompanied with a live musician and overhead projections. The show is produced every other year, presenting all new stories and songs, while usually featuring a different musician each production.

Returning for his second My Americana, the talented Shane O'Shields—described by some as a mystical, fuzzy, friendly giant—brings his signature blend of Americana, Psychedelia and Blues to the stage by playing guitar, ukulele, drums, foot tambourine, and kazoo.
