The Encore

Our mission at The Encore is to grow the Morgantown live music scene. We operate as a listening room, with a focus on providing the sound and atmosphere that audiences and artists deserve, and a passion for the preservation and performance of traditional American music. For local bands and musicians, we offer additional opportunities related to performance, rehearsal, or production. The Encore is

equipped with a plug-and-play stage and full backline that includes a mixing board, auxiliary amps, drum kit, mics and cords, professional lighting, and load-in bay. Our versatility--and easy terms--creates a variety of options for performers. We especially welcome young and emerging acts trying to find their musical chops. And when the music isn't playing, we offer an affordable and unique rental space to select individuals, groups, and organizations from the Morgantown community, along with a calendar of events, live and otherwise. THINGS TO KNOW.....

PARKING FOR THE ENCORE
Please park on the right side of the building in the gravel lot. If this lot is full, overflow parking is located at Ralph's Beer Distributor about 50 yards past the building on the right towards Sabraton. Overflow parking is available after 5:00 pm and on weekends ONLY. Please use the rail-trail to access the venue from the overflow parking lot. Additional off-hours parking is available at Marilla Park, which can be accessed via a footbridge from the rail-trail. For patrons with mobility issues, a courtesy drop-off area is located at the front of the building near the entrance. FOOD AND BEVERAGE
The Encore provides some concessions. Outside non-alcoholic drinks are permitted. No pets or animals of any kind are allowed. Individuals with mobility issues please ask for assistance upon arrival, or in advance. The Encore is a listening room focused on the musicians who take our stage. We ask that noise other than unbridled enthusiasm for our performers be kept to a minimum.
