Portugal. The Man

Portugal. The Man is an American rock band based in Portland, Oregon. The group currently consists of John Gourley, Zach Carothers, Kyle O'Quin, Jason Sechrist, Eric Howk, and Zoe Manville.

Gourley and Carothers met and began playing music together in high school in Wasilla, Alaska. Since the formation of Portugal. The Man in 2005, the band has released eight studio albums and three EPs. Their first two albums were released on Fearless Records. They also released material on their own imprint Approaching AIRballoons through indie label Equal Vision Records. On April 2, 2010, the band signed to Atlantic Records.

The band announced an upcoming album titled Gloomin' + Doomin' in February of 2016. The album was later scrapped due to complications and thus, Woodstock was born, their eighth and most-successful full-length studio album.

ā€œFeel It Stillā€ reached the mainstream and, for the first time, Portugal. The Man entered the Billboardā€™s Hot 100, achieving No. 4. The song also won a Grammy for ā€œBest Pop Duo/Group Performance.ā€
