Support Live Music! Something to do

The Big Dirty has announced that they will be closing Dec. 14. This comes just before Sam Bond's closes on Dec 18 (correction: end of December).

The reason these places are closing is simple: the audiences are not there. Eugene has a lot of amazing musicians and bands, but people don't go out to hear them.

Support local music by visiting local venues, while you still can.

We need a new venue frfr....whirled pies is a decent option but still kinda small... Only place for midsized bands is wow hall now.... Bands that used to come to town are now skipping eugene and going to bend and portland instead... Just look at how many shows they're doing at hayden as compared to cuthbert....🤷‍♂️

Hayden is a nightmare. Extremely expensive for food and drinks. They make me grateful we have Cuthbert.
