The Family Jam Band That Plays Anywhere

It’s in their name: Family Mystic puts on a show that’s family friendly.

Family Mystic’s newest album, Adventures of Nemara, is a blossoming jam band extravaganza of sound, as their sophomore recording project is full of new musical adventures. Modern jam bands can get a bad rap, but Family Mystic puts its best foot forward with its sound, and it has found a lot of success and audience interest in Pacific Northwest parks and venue spaces.

The Eugene show will, in fact, be held indoors, at WOW Hall, after the band tours through Flagstaff, Phoenix, Bend and Ashland.

If you miss Family Mystic in Eugene this month, its “Journey In Grace Summer Tour” plays at Mojo Family Fest in Sandy, Oregon, June 16 to 18, and at Mount Tabor Park in Portland on Tuesdays throughout the months of July and August. It will also be at the Oregon Country Fair in Veneta — July 7 through 9 — so you’ll have plenty of time to feel the Family Mystic vibes this summer.

Family Mystic performs 8 pm Thursday, June 15 at WOW Hall, 291 W. 8th Avenue. $10.

A Note From the Publisher

Dear Readers,

The last two years have been some of the hardest in Eugene Weekly’s 43 years. There were moments when keeping the paper alive felt uncertain. And yet, here we are — still publishing, still investigating, still showing up every week.

That’s because of you!

Not just because of financial support (though that matters enormously), but because of the emails, notes, conversations, encouragement and ideas you shared along the way. You reminded us why this paper exists and who it’s for.

Listening to readers has always been at the heart of Eugene Weekly. This year, that meant launching our popular weekly Activist Alert column, after many of you told us there was no single, reliable place to find information about rallies, meetings and ways to get involved. You asked. We responded.

We’ve also continued to deepen the coverage that sets Eugene Weekly apart, including our in-depth reporting on local real estate development through Bricks & Mortar — digging into what’s being built, who’s behind it and how those decisions shape our community.

And, of course, we’ve continued to bring you the stories and features many of you depend on: investigations and local government reporting, arts and culture coverage, sudoku and crossword puzzles, Savage Love, and our extensive community events calendar. We feature award-winning stories by University of Oregon student reporters getting real world journalism experience. All free. In print and online.

None of this happens by accident. It happens because readers step up and say: this matters.

As we head into a new year, please consider supporting Eugene Weekly if you’re able. Every dollar helps keep us digging, questioning, celebrating — and yes, occasionally annoying exactly the right people. We consider that a public service.

Thank you for standing with us!
