Tickets went on sale Friday, Aug. 14, for Jamila Woods' Portland stop on her "10 Years of HEAVN" tour, a six-city run celebrating the decade-old debut album that landed at the intersection of neo-soul, poetry and Black liberation politics.

Woods plays the Wonder Ballroom, 128 NE Russell St., on Thursday, Nov. 19. The 778-capacity room in the Eliot neighborhood is a deliberate fit: the entire tour books intimate, sub-1,000 venues rather than theaters or arenas, giving the Chicago artist space to perform the album the way it was born, close and communal.

HEAVN first appeared as a free SoundCloud upload in July 2016, the week after police killed Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. Pitchfork ranked it No. 36 on its year-end albums list, describing Woods as an artist who "seeks and creates her own refuge, proclaiming graceful pride in her blackness and her hometown of Chicago." The album features Chance the Rapper, Noname and Saba, and was formally released on Jagjaguwar in August 2017.

"Ten years ago today the OG SoundCloud version of HEAVN was born. My first child! The one who showed me a new version of myself / a portal to who I could be," Woods wrote on Instagram on Aug. 11 when she announced the tour, according to Pitchfork.

Woods is a South Side Chicago poet and musician whose three albums trace a line from communal grief through literary homage (LEGACY! LEGACY!, 2019) to love and surrender (Water Made Us, 2023). She has performed on NPR's Tiny Desk and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and shared stages with Common and Brittany Howard.

The tour opens Nov. 16 in Los Angeles and closes Dec. 6 with a hometown show at Chicago's Thalia Hall. Portland is the third stop, sandwiched between San Francisco and Seattle.

VIP packages include meet-and-greets, and Jagjaguwar will sell limited-edition vinyl with signed prints exclusively at tour stops. Tickets are available through the Wonder Ballroom. No opening act has been announced.
