Theo Goodtime is a Portland musician who performs on Portland's streets in the classic "busker" tradition. A Portland native, Theo has performed on Portland's downtown streets and alleyways for several decades. His genres are mainly old school Rock and Rhythm & Blues and Blues, but he also has a few kids songs, a couple country tunes, as well as several of his originals compositions on his set list.

Theo's main instruments are a Gibson acoustic guitar that shows more than a little wear, and sometimes you'll catch him playing an old school Gibson lap steel. On his self recorded CDs (three so far), Theo backs himself on electric guitar, bass, keys, lap steel, and drum machine.

Theo appears several places around town. Outside the Rose Quarter after the Blazers games, concerts and other events, as well as at Jeld-Wen Field, after the Timbers games. You can also sometimes catch his performances at Portland's Saturday Market, or on the MAX line, not far from from Portland's Central Library. No time to hang out? No problem. You can check out Theo's tunes on his MySpace page.
