First Avenue Productions

First Avenue is celebrated as one of the longest-running, independently owned and operated venues in the United States. Our commitment to independence is led by the belief that unique, locally-owned live music rooms are imperative to the health of the community and economy. First Avenue is dedicated to promoting artistic expression in diverse voices old and new, to provide a community by offering artists a stage and a mic, and fans a place to gather. First Avenue owns and operates The Depot Tavern, 7th St Entry, Turf Club, Fine Line, The Fitzgerald Theater, the First Avenue Mainroom, and co-operates the Palace Theatre and Palace Pub.
