Organizer
The Jazz Station is at the center of the vibrant jazz scene in Eugene, Oregon. Since moving to our new location in 2010, we have welcomed local, regional, national and international performers to our stage.
A safe, all-ages, family-friendly space for jazz lovers to relax and share their love of jazz, The Jazz Station is an intimate venue that attracts diverse performers and audiences. We believe that the best music is created when a band and audience are able to connect. With a 70 seat capacity and a beautiful baby grand piano, our venue provides the opportunity for a truly special experience.
We have a beer and wine bar stocked with local favorites, an elevated stage and sound system, professional theater lighting, a green room, and two accessible bathrooms.
The venue is operated by the Willamette Jazz Society, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and powered by a team of passionate and dedicated volunteers. A community of over 120 members provides the core of support through monthly memberships. Audiences at The Jazz Station are known to be active and respectful listeners, and open to a diverse and eclectic calendar of musical offerings during the year. Concerts are often sold out in advance.
The Jazz Station is located at 124 West Broadway in a thriving downtown area of restaurants and cafes, a nearby theater company and an independent bookstore.
