FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE STOP: 9/13/2019
On Thursday, September 12, author, columnist and comedian Steve Hofstetter is in town for a night of stand-up comedy at the WOW Hall.
Steve Hofstetter's national TV debut came on ESPN's Quite Frankly, where Stephen A. Smith yelled at him for three minutes. Hofstetter has also appeared on CBS' Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson, Showtime’s White Boyz in the Hood, VH1's Countdown, Sundance's On the Road in America, and ABC's Barbara Walter's Special, where he thankfully did not cry. He is the host and executive producer of Laughs on Fox networks, where he only cries occasionally. One of the top booked acts on the college circuit, the original writer for collegehumor.com has also released six albums. Hofstetter has written humor columns for the New York Times, SportsIllustrated.com, and NHL.com. After hosting Four Quotas on Sirius Satellite Radio for two seasons, Hofstetter moved to broadcast radio, and his Sports Minute (Or So) was syndicated on over 170 stations and in over 30 newspapers. Hofstetter's second live comedy album (Cure For the Cable Guy) reached #20 on Billboard's comedy charts. His third album (Dark Side of the Room) was the first ever “pay-what-you-want" comedy album. His fourth album consisted of an hour of 100% ad-libbed material, which is, frankly, nuts. And his fifth album hit #1 on iTunes' comedy charts, which is also a bit nuts. Hofstetter's brutal tour schedule consists of over 100 colleges and dozens of clubs every year, and is fueled by an immense online popularity. While Hofstetter's live shows are routinely sold out, he is best known for his writing, first published at age 15, mainly to impress girls. At 18, he co-founded "Sports Jerk of the Week", an irreverent website featured by press like USA Today's Baseball Weekly, Sports Illustrated and CNN. And at 20, Hofstetter took a year off of school to head up web content for the New York Yankees. The Yankees won the World Series that year, which would have been wonderful if they hadn't beaten Hofstetter's Mets. Yes, he's also a Mets fan. Poor kid.
Tickets are $21 in advance, $26 day of show, and are available at U. of O. Ticket Office, WOW Hall and www.ticketweb.com. Doors open at 6:30 pm and showtime is 7:00. Seating available on a first come, first served basis.. The WOW Hall is located at 291 W. 8th Ave. (the corner of 8th and Lincoln in Eugene) and is open for all ages. Adult refreshments are available downstairs. For more information please call 541-687-2746.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE STOP: 9/15/2019
On Saturday, September 14, the Community Center for the Performing Arts and UO Campus Radio 88.1 FM KWVA proudly welcome Hyper Sloth back to the WOW Hall along with Alamance and Laundry.
Playing in support of their first EP Crack The Whip, Hyper Sloth is a four piece rock and roll band with melodic metal overtones. All four members are seasoned musicians who are very focused and driven by their passion to create. With their combined talents and experience in the scene, they formed this all-original band from the ground up in 2014. Hyper Sloth takes their music very seriously but at the same time they are sarcastic pranksters who love to have a great time playing rock-n-roll. Lead vocalist Phoebe Blume is a powerhouse with an incredible dynamic range and natural talent for coming up with great melodies and harmonies. Hyper Sloth guitarist Issa Koberstein has some of the sickest chops on the axe of anybody in the Willamette Valley. He has been perfecting his craft since the early 1990’s in many prominent local bands such as We Have Guns.
Alamance is a five-piece rock band from Eugene that blends rock elements from a variety of genres, styles and eras. Alamance’s most recent recording, Collateral, set the foundation for the band’s sound and provided the inspiration for the next installment -- expected late 2019.
Laundry is a dream rock band from Eugene that came together in 2017. They have an eclectic style developed through a collective songwriting process. Laundry was a finalist for the WOW Hall’s Eugene LIVE! series this year. Their latest release Affirmation, from April 2019, was recorded at Echo Hill in Portland, Oregon.
Tickets are $8 in advance, $8 day of show, and are available at U. of O. Ticket Office, WOW Hall and www.ticketweb.com. Doors open at 8:00 pm and showtime is 8:30. The WOW Hall is located at 291 W. 8th Ave. (the corner of 8th and Lincoln in Eugene) and is open for all ages (6-11 half price at the door when accompanied by parent or adult guardian; five and under no charge). Adult refreshments are available downstairs. For more information please call 541-687-2746.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE STOP: 9/18/2019
The Community Center for the Performing Arts, located in the historic WOW Hall, will host a New Volunteer Orientation and Training on Tuesday, September 17, at 7:00 pm.
The CCPA, a nonprofit arts organization with over 450 volunteers, provides volunteer training for all ages. Prospective volunteers receive an introduction to the CCPA from Volunteer Coordinator Kaleah Bishop, who will provide a brief history of the organization and an overview of volunteer responsibilities. The orientation takes about one hour, after which new volunteers may sign up for a variety of positions during show productions. Volunteers may qualify themselves for additional training for running lights, sound or the box office.
Orientation begins at 7:00 pm. Potential volunteers are expected to be on time.
The WOW Hall is located at 291 W. 8th Ave. (the corner of 8th and Lincoln) in Eugene and is always open for all ages. For more information please call Kaleah Bishop at 541-687-2746.
