About The Bohemian Art Loft
as a Performance Venue
It might seem to be self-serving, but we think, and those who have
attended our performances would agree, that the Bohemian Art Loft is by
far the best place in Redding to listen to fine acoustic music in a
quiet, exclusive environment. If you are looking for a crowded
room with drinks and loud conversation and a "rock band" playing your
favorite tunes, you should go to a bar. If you want to seriously
listen to fine acoustic music in an exclusive, intimate environment,
feel real contact with the musicians, be able to talk to them about
their music, their lives, their instruments, hear every nuance of every
note played, then you should come to concerts at the Loft. We
offer the intimacy of a house concert with the advantages of a small
stage, lighting, a sound system, and a well treated acoustic
environment. We do not dim the house lights to darkness, rather
we allow the musicians to see and connect visually as well as acoustically
with their audiences. Our guest artists uniformly love playing at
the Loft because it "sounds great, and allows us to really connect with
our listeners", which to most of our performers is of greater
importance than how much money was collected. And we cannot agree
more, beautifully played acoustic music in a fine listening environment
is as close as we can get to "Heaven on Earth". As we once said
in an interview for Enjoy Magazine, "We like to come close to breaking
even, but we do it for the love of the arts." (February 2013).

We always prided ourselves on presenting the unusual. We found local grafitti artists,
had them paint refrigerator cardboard "murals" in our parking lot, and hung the works
at the Loft, only to read an article in the SF Chronicle several months later about how
grafitti is a true art form and deserves to be in galleries (announcing a show in SF).
