Hello UO School of Music!

My name is Liz Olsen and I currently work at the Oregon Wine L.A.B. on 5th and Lincoln, where we have live music twice a week. I am reaching out to you with hopes you can direct me to who I need to be talking to; as we do live music twice a week, we are always looking for new talent! We offer paid gigs, with sets that are two hours long. I was looking into your program and it looks your students will need to complete live performances in order to pass with a degree in music, although I am sure we would not count towards graduation, we can offer a stage to play on with a steady flow of different people coming through.

If students are looking to perform in front of a live audience in a more intimate setting we would be able to accommodate that! I would love to find a way to reach out to students and bring some in for gigs their style (could be a live jazz trio or a single acoustic set or a full band that does cover)  to be showcased in a non-school function. If you could direct me to the appropriate person or offer suggestions on how to get the word out, it would be greatly appreciated.

As a UO alumni, I understand the importance of gaining experience where you can, with whoever is willing to help!
