Underage Musicians Challenge OLCC Rule
(A P) — Y oung m usicians say the rules on
the state drinking age o f 21 need to be m ore
flexible to allow them to w ork in barsand night­
clubs to build their careers.
Josh Fuchs, 18, says his band, the Erotic
Politicians, used to play at bars at least once a
week until the O regon L iquorC ontrol C om m is­
sion earlier this y ear banned en tertain ers
younger than 21.
“ W hat your ruling has done is take aw ay my
jo b ," Fuchs told com m issioners at a Thursday
hearing. “ W e c a n ’t cultivate a fan base. O ur
livelihood is gone. W e’re ju s t asking you to
reconsider w h at's happening.”
A bout 20 people show ed up to oppose a ban
originally aim ed at getting underage strippers
out o f nude dance clubs.
The rule, m usicians say, hurts older teens
and 20-year-olds in O regon too young to drink
but w ho m ust play at such venues to gain
experience and build a career.
“ M aking a life o f m usic is difficult and com ­
petitive enough as it is," said D arrell G rant, a
m usic professor at Portland State U niversity
and a ja z z pianist. "D o n ’t cut them dow n before
they get started.”
The O L C C rule took effect on Jan. 2, prohib­
iting underage strippers, m usicians, com edi­
ans, electricians and other contract em ployees
from w orking in bars and taverns.
K aren G regory, O LC C interim director, said
she sym pathizes with young m usicians but the
ag en cy 's m ission is to m ake sure m inors and
