HC Is there anything significant about the name of your venue?
TH TreeHouse represents a place to get away and have fun. That’s what we’re all about, just hanging out and listening to some good music.

HC When/how did your venue go from the dream stage to actually having a site to get the music out?
TH It actually happened extremely fast! I had the idea back in October ’08, and within just a couple of months it took off like a wildfire.

HC Where is your venue located?
TH 89 Centennial Loop. Eugene, OR

HC Is your venue all ages? Do you have any sort of a snack stand?
TH We are an all age venue. Currently we sell water, rockstars, and soda. We do hope to have a more broad concession stand down the road.

HCDo you cater to a certain genre of music? Are there any musical styles that are off limits?
TH We cater mainly to the alternative/rock/hardcore/acoustic audience. I think the biggest “no no” for us is country music.

HC For those who are unfamiliar with your area, is there good parking close to the venue? If they arrive early are there points of interest close to your venue?
TH We have lots of parking that is FREE

HC Where can those interested best connect with you to find out about updates, shows and other events?
TH The best way is checking out our myspace at: myspace.com/treehousemusicvenue

HC Are there any favorite/funny/scary memories from your history or a show that you’d like to share?
TH Well, since our first show is April 25th, we don’t have any good memories yet. But definitely soon to come…

HC What has been the most challenging part of establishing a local music venue? TH The most challenging part is advertising. It’s just knowing where your target audience can be reached and figuring out how to get the kids to come to the shows.

Upcoming Shows:

:: 4/25/09 (Eugene) Emsley w/ Eight Seven Central (Indie/Trance/Rockabilly)

:: 5/9/09 (Eugene) The Seatbelt Tragedy (Indie) w/ Returning Grace (Alternative)
