- The Encore
Rustic listening room & dance hall with a passion for the performance of traditional American music. Music lives here. Outside food and beverage is permitted.
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.
