Clubs, concert halls bring
Eugene a world of sound
Local musical venues offer a wide variety of
styles; some offer shows nearly every night
By Ryan Nyburg

Local concerts are a big part of almost any college expe
rience. Without the funds to see the big-name concerts, lo
cal clubs offer an alternative that is both affordable and en
tertaining. Here are a few local concert halls and clubs for
those looking for great music.
The WOW Hall, located at West Eighth Avenue and Lin
coln Street, is one of Eugene's best and longest-standing
music venues. Featuring local, national and international
music performances, as well as the occasional bit of per
formance art, The WOW Hall maintains a good reputation
for quality shows. Performances are for all ages, with a beer
garden downstairs for adults, and there is something go
ing on almost every night.
Samurai Duck, tucked underneath a parking garage at
980 Oak St., specializes in local hard rock, metal and punk,
with the occasional hip-hop and D) acts thrown in for fla
vor. It's great for rocking out, though it's limited to those
21 and older.
Sam Bond's Garage is a local venue that just keeps get
ting better and better. Small, with good atmosphere and
music almost every night, it's good for fans of bluegrass,
blues, Cajun, acoustic, folk or any of the quieter forms of
musical entertainment. Once again, 21 and older only. The
venue is located out at 407 Blair Blvd., across from the Tiny
Tavern. I he weekly bluegrass jams are a plus.
McDonald Theatre is by far the largest indoor venue in
Eugene after the I lult Center, not to mention the best.
With national concert tours — such as Elvis Costello, Blue
Oyster Cult and Cheap Trick, all having made stops in the
past — the venue has shown itself to be a good middle
ground between small local concerts and the large big
name concerts that always seem to skip most of Oregon.
Some shows are 21 and older, but most are all ages.
Diablo's/Downtown Lounge — located at 959 Pearl
St., next to the Greyhound bus station — is a dual venue
and one of the best places for those looking to dance. With
theme nights like "Late 80s Night," a great collection of lo
cal DJs and the occasional rock concert, it's the place to go
if you want to shake your groove thing. Both the upstairs
and downstairs clubs are worth checking out.
John Henrys has pumped up its music with local and
out-of-town shows almost every night after relocating to

featuring local and national musical artists.
a new venue on Broadway. Rock is the general rule, but
other genres have make appearances. Check out the
Wednesday night reggae show, assuming you have the
proper age and ID.
Wild Duck Music Hall, at 169 W. Sixth Ave., is a good
sized venue with an eclectic offering of music, including
funk, reggae, jazz and a variety of jam bands. Out-of-town
shows are common, and the Wailers seem to come out of
their way to stop by every few years. Shows are usually all
ages, with a bar and restaurant separate from the club.
