The historic venue, WOW Hall, a cherished cultural anchor in Eugene, Oregon, stands as a testament to community resilience and collaboration. Executive Director of the nonprofit, Deb Maher, shared their story, which embodies a vision-driven approach, emphasizing the power of positivity and collective action in transforming communities. WOW Hall, originally established in 1932 as a fraternity for woodworkers, faced near-demolition in 1975. However, a swift community effort saved the building, transforming it into a nonprofit performing arts center. Deb takes us through WOW Hall's rich history, emphasizing its evolution into a vibrant hub for cultural expression and community engagement. Central to WOW Hall's success is its unique membership-driven model. Deb points to the significance of community ownership, where members elect the board, fostering a sense of belonging and accountability. With over 600 volunteers, WOW Hall thrives on collective passion, offering diverse programs and events to enrich the community. Deb Maher's leadership philosophy centers on ‘appreciative inquiry', a strength-based model that ignites creativity and collaboration. She describes it as, "What are our strengths? The compelling vision is based on our passion. What do we love? What do we care about? And we create where we want to go and we call it forth in present tense we are." By focusing on shared passion and envisioning a compelling future, WOW Hall cultivates a culture of possibility and abundance. Deb adds, "You create change by creating the new. You carve out a place to create the new and have success. You create with the new, and in doing that, you do two things. You create the new while at the same time you negate the old." Maher also emphasizes keys of aligning individual strengths with organizational goals, fostering a dynamic, inclusive environment. You'll love this nonprofit's story! WOW Hall's transformation transcends internal dynamics, extending to broader community impact, and Deb Maher champions strategic partnerships and proactive outreach, positioning WOW Hall as a catalyst for economic and cultural revitalization. Through storytelling and authentic engagement, she amplifies WOW Hall's narrative, attracting support from funders and volunteers alike.View on Video!Follow us on the Twitter: @Nonprofit_ShowSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Thom sat down with longtime friend Jake Morton to talk music. Thom and Jake have been friends for almost 30 years and Jake has crossed paths several times with Henry’s Child: First when his band Big Hippie would open for Henry’s Child at the WOW Hall and secondly by filling in for Doug Cramer’s absence after the reunion. Jake tells the story of how Big Hippie moves to Hollywood, broke up and how his second band “Theta State” started out of frustration not playing. We play the song “Impotence” from Theta State. Jake is a monster musician and was raised with music being an important part of his life. Oh, and Jarrett Holly (now Guitarist In Henry’s Child) produced virtually all Theta State recordings, some at Studio Atlantis (check out Episode 20). This Podcast comes out next Friday.

Rich and Thom down to talk with Brian Forster. Brian is the lead vocalist for Seven Second Circle, a band that is comprised of four members of Henry’s Child. Henry’s Child met Brian at the Westside Station in Salem, specifically through the bar manager Jason Coleman. Jason had a huge affinity for music and brought together the most many Eugene bands like Floater and Jollymon, as well as staples like Aggrobatch and, of course, Henry’s Child. Brain talks about how he got into music and how his Mom’s boyfriend Denny greatly influenced his musical taste, exposing him to Kiss and Van Halen. Brain discusses early versions of his band “Taxi Cab Floors”. This is how Brian met the guys in Henry’s Child and even participated in shows at the Westside Station and The WOW Hall by helping sing “Handguns and Chainsaws” from the stage. We wrap up this great conversation with the story of how Seven Second Circle got the “Divide” record pressed and how important the niche of Progressive Rock became for the band. In this episode you learn what name Seven Second Circle almost chose as an alternative band name.

On today’s “Am I Crazy or Am I Just Raving” Podcast episode, Rich and Andrew sit down to talk with Jarrett Holly. Jarrett is the Sound Engineer, Recording Architect and now Guitar Player, that helped Henry’s Child from 1995 to its present incarnation. Along the way there have been several other bands, like Attack Ships on Fire, First Sleep and Seven Second Circle that Jarrett has recorded and Produced. Some of those bands he also lends his Songwriting and Performing skills to. A quick introduction through Thom joining Henry’s Child in 1995 brought Jarrett into the fold. Over the years he picked-up first live sound engineering skills from some top-notch sound guys at the WOW Hall and recording skills from such local legends as Bill Barnett of Gung-Ho Studios. Soon Jarrett had moved from behind the live show mixing board to the studio, helping Henry’s Child complete the masterpiece of “Clearly Confused”. This Podcast is the first of two parts that chronicle Jarrett’s career in Sound, from going to early Henry’s Child shows with Thom all the way through today, recording and doing Live Sound for huge events.

In this episode of the “Am I Crazy or Am I Just Raving” Podcast, Rich sits down and talks to Kevin Richardson. He’s the singer and guitar player for the band “Vial… Experiment”. Kevin has been in the Eugene Music Scene for a long time and started out as a 15 year old Henry’s Child fan, often attending WOW Hall shows and used this passion to start playing his own music. Rich and Kevin discuss why “battle of the bands” can be damaging to healthy competition. They talk about what drives audiences to live shows and ultimately why grassroots promotion is vital to the existence of live music.

In this episode of the “Am I Crazy Or Am I Raving” Henry’s Child Podcast, Thom gives some gratitude for the turn-out at the Jason Rowe benefit show and talks about the forthcoming WOW Hall show on April 14th.

In this first Podcast of “Am I Crazy or Am I Just Raving”, Thom and Andrew look at how and why Henry’s Child got back together after 17 years. Andrew talks briefly about the bands in between the original incarnation of Henry’s Child and the reunion show in 2014. He then tells the story: Inspired by the Soundgarden record “King Animal”, Rich and Andrew got the fire back to play heavy music again. This birthed “Mnemonic Machines”, with Quinn & Kris Cardwell (formerly of “The Ineffectuals”), Rich Clinton, Andrew Smith and Thom Tessandori. Greg Gillespie (of “Hyding Jekyll”) offered Mnemonic Machines a really great show right at the time that band dissipated. In order to fill a slot at the WOW Hall, with less than 4 weeks rehearsal time, Henry’s Child got back together and learned some fan-requested songs. Andrew got inspired by seeing teenagers singing along with songs from the “Mumbles and Screams” record - originally released in 1995. This is when Henry’s Child, as it’s true collective, chose to keep playing shows until people stop showing up. Andrew tells the “drunk guy” story and how the impact of music stays with you, creating those truly frozen moments. This speaks directly to the presence and the power of music. Andrew also recounts his first memory of singing into the mirror and how Queen’s “Another One Bites The Dust” lead him down a path of greater appreciation of music.
