Devin Stinson and Donald Cobbs, both agree and understand that Portland is such an amazingly unique and diverse city, unlike any other in the nation, and they wanted to create an anthem that highlighted all of those things.

Donald Cobbs came to Portland when he was 7yrs. old. He was here prior to the building of the Memorial Coliseum, during a time where the only sports team that represented Portland, was the Portland Buckaroos. That was also during the time in which the Portland Zoo received a new resident, an elephant which was affectionately named Packy, and the closest thing to an anthem was the “Zoo Key Song.” Continue reading... “Portland Anthem”
