Creating a place to hear music is a lot like creating music itself: You have to know when to leave space for drama and resonance, and every decision counts. In Episode Two of The Red Shed Tapes, we'll hear about reopening the legendary Crystal Ballroom during the height of Portland's indie rock era. We'll find out why curating playlists for each McMenamins pub is a lot like mixing the perfect cocktail, and Scott Avett of the Avett Brothers will tell the tale of a yearslong friendship that all started with a meeting at McMenamins.
