On June 3, The Decemberists will host and headline A Benefit For Flora, a concert in their hometown of Portland, OR, that will raise money for the studio owned and operated by one of the band’s frequent collaborators, producer Tucker Martine.

Martine’s Flora Studio was robbed last month while he was in the process of moving to and finishing the building out of a new location, with the perpetrators stealing around $70,000 worth of recording equipment, including guitars, mics and irreplaceable items.

In a statement on the robbery and benefit concert, Decemberists frontman Colin Meloy writes, “As you likely know, The Decemberists’ relationship with Tucker and Flora goes way back; he co-produced The Crane Wife with Chris Walla in 2006. We went on to make three more records with Tucker, using whichever iteration of Flora was assembled at the time: Flora was Tucker’s home basement; it was a barn in Happy Valley, OR, where he’d moved most of his outboard gear for one recording session; it was, later, a well-appointed studio in North Portland. We did one-off recordings, demos, and EPs at Flora with Tucker. I recorded two audiobooks, the second and third Wildwood books, at Flora. Most of my vocal takes that are currently out there in the world on songs and records were recorded on the microphones that were stolen from Flora a month ago.”

A Benefit For Flora is set for June 3 at Portland’s Crystal Ballroom and will feature performances from The Decemberists and fellow Portlanders Blind Pilot, plus special guests.

“We’re determined to help Tucker get back on his feet, reclaim or replace the stolen gear, and finish out this latest and greatest iteration of Flora Recording and Playback,” Meloy writes.

Tickets to the benefit go on sale this Friday, April 19, at noon PT. More information can be found here, and donations to Flora can be made via GoFundMe.
