Historical

Eugene has a long history of great live music venues.  Even the funkiest dives had their own appeal, part of which might have been that they wanted my band to play there.  I miss these places, whose owners took chances to host live music and poured sweat and money into the venues, even if sometimes the bands came up short.

Black Forest
From loud, rowdy rock and roll, to solo singer-songwriters, the Black Forest was a place to hear live and often local music for years.
Downtown Lounge
A bar and lounge with a stage and a smooth dance floor, the Downtown Lounge hosted a wide assortment of music.
The Granary Pizza
After Jo Fed's closed, there came The Granary, in the same place, and often hosting similar types of music.  I loved going there, I loved playing there, and I loved their pizza.
Jo Federigo's
Jo Fed's was the home of hip music in Eugene, often jazz.  It is sorely missed.
John Henry's
John Henry's presented a wide array of music for ages.  I think I saw Indigo Swing there, or was it Stompy Jones?  My band played there, as well.
Luna
Attached to the swanky Adam's Place restaurant, Luna was a lovely space with an eclectic array of great live music shows booked and sometimes performed by local great Erik Muiderman.
The Place
Before I arrived here, but I've heard legends.
Taboo
Some surprisingly good live music here.  Was it here that I saw Robben Ford?  (Really, he played in Eugene c.2008).
Taylor's
Taylor's once famously hosted live music.
Wild Duck Music Hall
Before there was a Wild Duck Pub east of campus, there was a Wild Duck Music Hall in west downtown.  It hosted a wide variety of live music.  I heard and danced to ska, swing, and salsa bands there, and took my first Argentine tango classes.
