In the fluid, frantic, and often frustrating business of running a music club, there are few longtime survivors. Minneapolis' First Avenue is one room that has beaten the odds.

San Francisco has the Fillmore Auditorium.
New York has CBGB and the Knitting Factory. And
Minneapolis has First Avenue and the 7th Street Entry. Anyone who knows about music in this
town will tell you that, for the last three decades, First Avenue has been integral to the
Twin Cities' vibrant music scene.
From the avant garde to the mainstream, First Avenue is a music club committed to fostering
the arts, music and entertainment excellence. There are a lot of people who care deeply about
this club and have, in effect, made it their lives.
First Avenue is, quite simply, what a music club should be.
A rare quiet moment at the front doors of the club.
