Broadway House Concerts Bring Music and Culture into the

Heart of the JWN Since 2009

The Broadway Avenue House Concerts are a venue for performers of acoustic contemporary jazz and chamber classical music who bring original compositions as well as new interpretations of traditional forms to an intimate concert setting.

After retiring from teaching, Paul Bodin became a student at UO’s jazz studies program, where he began meeting musicians. A few years later, he started using his living room as a space for local jazz combos to play. The informal concerts were an immediate success. Soon people outside the UO music community were contacting him, including musicians touring from overseas. In 2009, the Broadway House Concerts were officially born.

Since then, Paul and his spouse Peggy have hosted over 54 house concerts.

The Bodin’s 1920s house by Monroe Park has a living room that seats 55. If you go, along with admission, bring a food and/or beverage item for the potluck intermission. All admission fees go directly to the performers. Contact Paul at pbodin@uoregon.edu to join the mailing list for upcoming concert dates and times or to reserve tickets.

Directions:
Broadway House Concerts is located in a 1920s bungalow-style home at the northwest corner of Adams and Broadway streets, diagonally across from Monroe Park in downtown Eugene.  If you head west on 11th Ave., turn right at Monroe Street, travel 2 blocks to Broadway, then turn left and continue 1 block to Adams.  Park along the street.  There will be a sign to direct you to the entrance at the rear of the house.
