Music scene · Cottage Grove

Cottage Grove is a small Willamette Valley logging and farming town with a laid-back music scene built around community events, coffeehouses, church groups, and school programs. The historic downtown hosts occasional acoustic performances. Eugene musicians often drive south for small shows.

Music happens at downtown coffeehouses and restaurants, the high school auditorium, church fellowship halls, city park events, and the Lane County Fairgrounds during fair season. Larger rooms are in Eugene or Springfield.

Local and regional artists perform here, with musicians from the nearby Eugene scene occasionally passing through.

Artists can approach downtown coffeehouses, play at farmers markets, or join school and church groups. Eugene is the practical destination for regular open mics and gigs.
