Tigardville Station in Tigard has been under new management for sometime now. Owner Pete Louw has proven to be a true fan of local talent and supports the music scene with a sense of class and regard seldom found in clubs.
Formerly known as Manila Express, the club now has an 'Open Mic' hosted by the one and only Jim Crutcher on Wednesday night and an 'Open Jam' hosted by Jus Jamn on Thursday. Both events start at 8:00pm and go to 11:00pm. A good time is always had by all. As in most cases, feel free to drop in with your favorite guitar, keyboard, flute or fiddle and fit in where you can.
Tigardville Station also has live music on the weekends featuring some of the best bands in the Pacific Northwest like Probable Cause, Sonny Hess, Kevin Selfe and the Tornados, Theory of Relativity, Kenny Lee and the Sundowners to name but a few. It's always High Powered and Rockin'!
Pete is also the man to talk to about music bookings for now. If you've got a band that can Rock the house and keep the crowd dancin', give Pete a call at the club, 503-639-8375.
If you haven’t ventured out to Tigardville Station, make it a destination on your next night out. The club is located at 12370 S.W. Main St. in Tigard, right off Highway 99W, just south of the 217 exit. The area has been renovated with plenty of available free parking.
