An all-ages venue now approaching legendary status, The Big Dipper, 171 S. Washington, has reopened under the management of nonprofit concert production company RAWK the Inland Northwest.
RAWK is responsible for the popular RAWK Final Four annual band competition as well as bringing cutting-edge national touring acts to the all-ages scene (Blindside, April Sixth, Stutterfly and As I Lay Dying, to name a few). The group works closely with the Chase Youth Commission.
Under RAWK's direction, The Big Dipper is a nonsmoking venue with no bar. The group is actively seeking financial support to purchase a top-rate sound and lights system for the venue.
The first show at the new Big Dipper is Tuesday at 7 p.m., featuring Georgia's Showbread, Portland's A Taste For Murder and Inked In Blood, along with local rock band My Life With The Spaniard. There is an $8 cover.
