This weekend (Friday to be exact) marks the opening of The Woods on SE Milwaukie Avenue in Westmoreland. Hey, that's in my 'hood! Actually, I've watched the development of the space over the past few months - it's in a 1929 mission-style building that was until recently a funeral home. Nicely renovated and set up to be an intimate music and gathering space, this could be a very welcome addition to the venues in town. And certainly a good one for the neighborhood.
Shows will be an eclectic mix (and not just music), but the live music will focus on quiter acoustic side - the idea is to have a space where you will listen, not chatter . . . and a place that respects the music and artists. With one of the partners being Richie Young of Loch Lomond, I am not in the least bit surprise. A lot of love and effort has gone into making it comfortable and inviting, so check out the free official opening show on Friday night.
