Music of Oregon - Eugene

Eugene

Eugene has been a childhood home for many national musicians including Tim Hardin, Dan Siegel, Richard Smith and Rob Thomas. In the early 1990s a thriving local music scene that slowly died out in the early 2000s left many of the local musicians frustrated with the lack of interest in the scene from outside entities. Popular mainstream venues include the W.O.W. Hall, the EMU Ballroom, the Hult Center for the Performing Arts, Cuthbert Amphitheater, The Shedd, Sam Bond's Garage, Beall Concert Hall and McDonald Theatre.
