PORTLAND — Milo Greene will play at Empire Dine and Dance, 575 Congress St., Saturday, March 2, at 9 p.m. Doors open at 8 p.m. for the 21 and older show.

Milo Greene is not real. In the DIY music world, having proper representation is key. Lacking an actual manager, college classmates Andrew Heringer, Robbie Arnett and Marlana Sheetz concocted a virtual one — Milo Greene — to promote their individual musical efforts. It wasn’t until 2009 that the three began creating music together, a news release said.

A news release describes the band as follows:

Milo Greene is a collection of voices that live and breathe simultaneously with the breadth of an omniscient, collective consciousness. The melodies invoke long drives down the California coast and the feeling of leaving home. There is something meditative about it, as though it asks to be listened to alone and given one’s full attention. Guitar lines swell and recede as ocean waves would. A slight dissonance can be sensed underneath a seemingly passive exterior; a tension can be found in passing tones that evoke jazz harmony and the sense of waiting for something really big to happen, a sense of growing inevitably older while grasping at the threads of youth.

Tickets are $12.
