Review of Medfo,


a couple of questions
Star Rating - 4/14/2017
I'm curious about the arts/cultural scene in the Rogue River Valley and Southern Oregon in general, more specifically, is there decent live music to enjoy at clean, well-appointed spots in the area? What's the gallery/coffee shop/restaurant/bar scene like in terms of showcasing local musicians, painters, photographers, writers, etc...??? I realize that Medford is somewhat isolated and that I'll have to catch most of the bigger acts when their tours go through Northern CA or Portland or something like that... however, I'd love to know if any locals have anything to say about the arts overall and music in particular. Also, any helpful tips or ideas for someone moving to the area this summer are appreciated. Thanks in advance, I'm looking forward to this, nearly everything I've researched so far about Medford is pretty positive, it appears to be a community of friendly neighbors, and it's obviously surrounded by tremendous natural beauty, so we'll see y'all soon!

Listen here, you artsy... fartsy empty bottle of smugness. I'll have you know that we ain't obliging no artsy fartsy shampoo bottles at's been pissed in around these here parts. Y'all done ruint Portland and SanFran for a reason. You progressive do gooders got everyone high and mighty and focused solely on race and a'hating white people (though, only the poor whites living in ghettos and barrios feel the pain from your awful "solutions"). That said: you made the bed and now you kin die in it. Don't you be trying to scoot on out and infest other cities with your fartsy artsy ways.

A couple miles north is Central Point Oregon. Look up “Country Crossings”. Also in Medford area we have “Britt Festivals”. Those are the two biggest venues here.

Grants Pass actually has a good music venue, as well as Ashland. Medford, not so much. It's the more conservative town in the area other than GP. If you're looking for the local music scene Ashland is where you'll find it.
